I was wanting to put a little easter egg in my game using an angry birds character, would I need permission to do so?

    Theyll ask for a cut, and a hefty one at that if they answer

    I think it's unlikely they would let you to be honest. But fair play for going for it.

    Keep us posted on what they say (if you don't mind?)

    I'll be shocked if they'll say yes.

    This just might be crazy enough to work! Or crazy enough to give a psychiatrist work.

    maybe I will find someone around the forum that is creating/created a game and ask if I could use theirs as an easter egg.

    so if anyone has made a game with a circular/round character hit me up! I would be happy to create an easter egg with your character :)

    sadly I cannot pay you for using it, but I will put your game in the credits for allowing me to use your character as an easter egg.

    I have a round Character? So you mean you want to use the Angry Birds Egg?

    I have a round character in my game that is being reviewed now by Apple. It's called "Zombie Marbles". It's green and round and looks like a marble and... wait ... that's kind of a dumb character ... It's just a green marble that is called a "zombie marble". Who would want that? You'd be better off having your Easter Egg be an Easter Egg.

    no I wanted the easter egg to be the red angry bird, bird.

    If anyone here has a round character hit me up! I will see if I will use it :)
