Hello everyone! It is very clear that Twitter's going in the wrong direction. So, we've made an account on the fediverse!
While we won't stop posting about updates and such on Twitter, we highly suggest you check the fediverse out.
(and no, I'm not calling it "X")
SURPRISE! Angry Birds Refresh launches on January 16th!
Play the classic story levels, earn rewards by playing the weekly tournament, create your own avatar and MORE!
Hello there! Our current project is Project DeFace, it aims to recreate the servers from the Flash version of Angry Birds Friends and replace Facebook functionality with Discord!
UPDATE: Dive.cs has also ported some other old Rovio games to PC, those being Angry Birds Epic and RETRY respectively. You can also download them in the AB Modding Hub discord server.
We have some very, very bad news.
We received an email, basically saying that Rovio isn't happy with Angry Birds Refresh existing. This is why the game has been permanently shut down.
Thank you everyone for your support, we really do appreciate it.
In homage to
@angry_facts
, I thought it would be a fun idea to post a random Angry Birds fact. So...
Did you know that Angry Birds Friends had secret functionality for hiding the story mode button?
(1/2)
While the playtesters were doing their thing, I have decided to begin cooking another project....
A server recreation of Angry Birds Star Wars (Facebook)!
The idea is the same as Angry Birds Refresh's, recreate the game's servers but using Discord rather than Facebook.
You know, January does seem like a nice month.
...N-no, I'm just saying, I just like that month, that's all. Nothing to see here. Nope. Nothing at all.
An update on the matter: No, there won't ever be an Android version of the project. An Android version could very well compete with the main game, and we absolutely don't want that. I hope you understand.
@SusBlue
Probably? I think the main problem would be the difference in engine. Flash is easy to mod and all, but the pre-Unity mobile version uses Fusion (the classic AB engine), and I believe it has its Lua files pre-compiled and encrypted, making it harder... (1/2)
Today marks a year since the intial release of Angry Birds Refresh. Time flies, doesn't it?
As fitting as it would've been to re-release it today, I'm (ultra0) going on vacation for a few days, so it won't be today. But hey, it's still happening in J-- [CONNECTION TERMINATED]
Please, do not do things like this. While I hate what Rovio did, it's not Buck's or any of the staff in Rovio Gaming's fault. And even if it is, sending death threats to people is very wrong.
@SusBlue
AB Refresh got taken down, I had to deal with a bunch of raiders in RGCord because of it, and the Modding Hub also made a thread dedicated to sending death threats to Buck
This was presumably done when the Flash version was in process of being replaced by the Unity version, for players who had the Piggy Tower (which was never available in the Flash version).

Hello everyone! Thank you for checking out Angry Birds Refresh, we really do appreciate it.
We're planning a game update on Sunday, which will mainly just fix bugs, including the thing with the power potion not increasing bird strength. Stay tuned!
An update to Angry Birds Refresh has been released. The update will be applied automatically when you restart Angry Birds Refresh. The major changes include:
>Fixed the Pyro's-... wait, these are TF2 patch notes. And Angry Birds Refresh still hasn't re-released. Oops.
...Okay, 2 things.
1. My power went out yet again. Perfect timing.
2. There seems to be a false positive, making anti-viruses think the new version is a virus (I assure you it's not).
I apologize for these issues, and I will try to get them fixed.
A new update has been released for the Angry Birds Refresh launcher. You will be prompted to update the next time you open the game.

Semi-unrelated but; I think something that should be appreciated a little bit more is Rovio's attempt at embracing fan games and mods (especially after the doc. reponse). This doesn't resolve the other issues AB has right now, but I think it's really nice of them.
At 7:00 PM (GMT-3), Angry Birds Refresh will go down as we're going to be changing the game's domain.
The app will need to be updated to use it, though at least for some time, we will have a redirect to the new domain from the old one.
Oh my god. I used this same screen in 3 videos, and only now I realize I've been mispelling "supporting" as "supporing" this entire time, and I only realized because of a comment in the YouTube upload.
...That's embarrassing.
@angry_facts
Thank you for everything. It's been fun reading the facts (some which I didn't actually know) you've been posting for quite a while (wow, 3 whole years, that's quite a lot of facts if you ask me) and the funny jokes here and there... (1/1)
Please, do not do things like this. While I hate what Rovio did, it's not Buck's or any of the staff in Rovio Gaming's fault. And even if it is, sending death threats to people is very wrong.
An update on things.
1. My power is back. However, I think it might be better to wait before putting the server back up, as I have no idea if it'll stay that way.
2. Version 1.0.2 of the launcher is on its way, which should (hopefully) fix the issue.

Unfortunately, it seems like there are still power issues in my area, so Angry Birds Refresh will have to temporarily go down again.
I apologize for these issues, and we hope they're resolved soon enough.
We've reached 100 followers! Thank you so much for your support!
Angry Birds Refresh is almost here, I hope you all enjoy playing it once it comes out.

Alright, so, we'd like to know what you guys think.
We're thinking of disabling Power-Ups in tournaments since it may be unfair for new players compared to others who have played the game for longer. So, should it be done?
Angry Birds Refresh is back from maintenance, and with it, gifts are here! You should have received a gift with 50 coins from us, and you're now able to send others mystery gifts as well as receiving them! Note that there's a 24-hour cooldown.
Friends will be added separately from your Discord friend list due to requiring permission from Discord themselves to use your actual friend list, so we'll have a bot to handle that. Remember to join our server!
It appears that levels 1 and 5 of the current tournament have an issue where they self-destruct. We have put the game under maintenance while we search for replacements.
This shouldn't take too long, however.
@SusBlue
...to work with. They're basically 2 different games, so we would essentially have to maintain the two separate versions. We're only a group of fans, after all, not Rovio. (2/2)
@angry_facts
I (ultra0) also highly appreciate how you used to spread around the stuff I worked on (even back then, when I first made that hacked janky version of ABF that could be played offline). Heck, you're one of the main reasons why our project gets attention in the first place! (2/3)
Angry Birds Refresh is back up. Thank you for your patience!
It's recommended that you go on our website and redownload the app as the game's domain changed.
@ChickenLover_YT
Unfortunately, I erased all of the player data and its backups months ago, thinking we wouldn't get to work on the project again.
Players will have to start over. I apologize for this.
An update to Angry Birds Refresh has been released. The update will be applied automatically when you restart the game. This update only addresses a small issue.

A new update has been released for the Angry Birds Refresh launcher. Aditionally, the game server is back up from the power outages (hopefully no more power outages occur now).

Hey there! Sorry if there hasn't been any updates in a while, my Windows hard drive started making clicking noises and I'm using an external drive with Holo SteamOS on it. I managed to get a Windows Virtual Machine up and running so I should be able to work on the project again.
