Why It's Not a Block Quest
NOTE: Keep in mind that this game is currently in prototype stages, so improvements might be expected.
- First half, this is one of the most unoriginal ideas of making an Angry Birds game, and there is no point in making this game, because this game is a generic puzzle game made to cash in on the genre and its games such as the Candy Crush franchise, Homescapes, Royal Match and others.
- Poor advertising: Rovio did nothing to promote this game and never announced the game. This is such a pointless decision.
- The assets and title screen are actually entirely made with generative AI. This is completely unacceptable, even for an Angry Birds game.
- Copyright infringement: Inside the game files, there's rumored to be stolen artwork in one of the assets, which is a violation to the original artist's copyright. Rovio could have just made original artwork and could have asked for permission to use the artwork for game assets.
- It's a blatant reskin of Jelly Match, but with Angry Birds slapped around the entire game.
- The entire game looks unfinished. It should be noted that this game is currently being soft-launched.
- Boring gameplay.
- Overall, this could be considered the worst Angry Birds game, overtaking versions 2.0 and up of Angry Birds Go!'s spot.
Redeeming Qualities
- Its mechanics and gameplay are kind of responsive.
- King Pig finally makes an appearance in the game. He has not been in an Angry Birds game for the first time since Angry Birds 2.
- To be fair, the reason why Rovio is using generative AI for the assets and title screen is for developmental purposes, the company is using AI for prototype versions so that the artists can improve upon it for eventual official releases. Even then though, the usage of generative AI is not excusable.
Reception
Upon its release, it had received positive reviews, until it was pointed out that the artwork has been declared as AI artwork and stolen assets, it has later gained negative reception. Out of 13 reviews, it holds a 2.1 rating on Google Play.
It's also declared as the worst Angry Birds Games ever made.

Trivia
- Angry Birds Block Quest was originally going to be a sequel to Sugar Blast, a game by the same company.
