Rovio, developers of the Angry Birds game, have announced that the title has been downloaded over 500 million times in under two years of its launch.
“It’s more than any game ever before,” said Rovio’s marketing chief Peter Vesterbacka talking at a conference in Helsinki. The game has been topping the charts for sales on the Apple AppStore ever since its release back in December, 2009.
Vesterbacka has said that the company’s target is the big billion in downloads across all the mobile and PC platforms that the game is available on.
Rovio raised $42 million from venture capital firms earlier in the year. The company also expanded the brand merchandising for Angry Birds to toys and baby products. Rovio is also said to be looking to making a full feature film based on the Angry Birds franchise.
