Angry Birds: The Machine Chronicles



Angry Birds: The Machine Chronicles is a platformer game created by ButterBlaziken230. It stars Question Box Bird. The game is also Open-World at some parts, but mostly focuses on platforming.

The Bird Chamber
The game begins with Query appearing in a cage. He looks around, and the game prompts you to name the bird. Once you name the bird, he tries to escape. You start by taking out a couple of pigs who noticed you waking up. Because of this, you find out pigs are keeping you in the building. The next step is to unlock the door and run out. To unlock the door, you need to complete a simple sliding puzzle.

After escaping that room, you ascend up stairs and enter another room where you take out more pigs. Eventually, the next room becomes available and allows you to meet the other birds. Red is there, looking at a computer screen which shows where pigs are. Chuck is jumping to conclusions about what is going on, and Matilda is trying to calm Chuck down. Because of some notes, you realise you’re in Piggy Research Inc. which means that the pigs may be testing on you. Suddenly, more pigs break in, leaving you cornered. Chuck gets scared and rushes into a vent, causing Matilda to go after him. That leaves you and Red to defeat the pigs.

After defeating the pigs, a menu pops up. A mini Eccentria teaches you how to use it. A button allows you to switch which character you are using. The available characters are Red and Question Box Bird. Another button saves your progress on one of 3 save files. A third allows you to go to any unlocked area in the game. After that tutorial, you close the menu and climb through the vent.

Crawling through the vent is a quick task. The vent is long, but you can move through it quickly. Red is best for this situation, as he is faster than Question Box Bird (However, when upgraded, Query dominates). When on the other side, you are able to escape the vent. That’s when you realise that Chuck and Matilda are missing. If they followed the path of the vent, they would be at the same area as you, the player. Because of this, you get a new quest - scan the surrounding grassy area for Chuck.

Looking For Chuck
To find Chuck, you have to go north until you find a grey buidling. Go inside and Chuck is there. Chuck tells you that Matilda was taken by piggies, and that you need to go find her. As a result of completing this quest, you unlock Chuck - a fast bird with a lightning charge attack. Eventually, pigs appear, meaning you have to escape and go elsewhere.

Looking For Matilda
In this mission, you play as your used character while being accompanied by Chuck, who cannot be used until after the mission. To find Matilda, you first have to kill the pigs that stopped you during the previous mission. After doing that, you must go to The Bird Chamber through the entrance. Once inside, security piggies want to battle. Finish them off and then go through to the next room. In there, Chuck finds a monitor with Porktron on it, talking about what he wants to do with Matilda. He talks about the eggs she creates containing vital DNA to create a replica of the flock. You then go up a ladder to find Matilda. However, there is also several metallic pigs. This starts the first boss battle.

The Metallic Pigs are quite deadly. They can use a charge attack, which can lock you into several crashes, draining your health. Try to avoid these types of combos. Jump on their heads once to defeat them. There are about 15 of them, with 6 at most being on the screen at once. After defeating them, Matilda appears through a vent to alert you that Porktron has the eggs and that they need to go after them. However, a portal appears in the room, which you go through. It takes you to the Medieval Age, however there are robotic mechanisms everywhere.

Find the King
To escape the Medieval period, you first have to talk to a pig, which tells you that the King can solve all of your problems. Due to the abundance of pigs, this is the pig reality. There are a bird and a pig reality - one featuring Bird History, and the other having Pig History.

Once you find the King inside of a castle (you have to take out some security pigs), he believes you are practicing some sort of evil magic, and tries to execute you. However, you have to fight him, however halfway through the boss fight, King Pig runs away, for you to be nearly burned by piggies.

Magic Library Books
A new quest appears for you to go into the library without being caught by piggies. In there, there are books about magic. You have to pass through robotic gadgets that were found there when Porktron raided the timeline. In there you find a Wizard Pig who says that there is a portal you must jump through, and that a bird from the future commands you to fix the universe. You get pushed in by a machine claw.

Ending Porktron
When you arrive out of the vortex portal, you are in the future timeline, where birds were nearly wiped out and pigs ruled. You see a survivor, which is Bubbles. He, just like Wizard Pig told you he would, commands you to fight Porktron.

The boss fight against Porktron has 3 stages. The first stage involves him using Metallic Pigs, similarly to the Metallic Pig boss battle. You need to defeat 15 Metallic Pigs by jumping on them to clear this stage. In the second stage, he starts firing blue plasma balls at you. Jump on him 5 times during this to progress to the third stage. In that stage, he gets robot limbs and starts to chase you around. Fire plasma balls from the surrounding cannons 3 times to defeat him. After that, a ripple in time occurs, causing everything to black out.
