Angry Birds Friends

Angry Birds Facebook is a collaboration between Rovio and Facebook, announced on the Angry Birds Facebook page (http://www.facebook.com/angrybirds) on January 25, 2012. The game was to be released on February 14, 2012, but appeared as a playable version on February 13 as a beta release.



A video trailer for the game was posted on the Rovio Mobile Youtube Channel prior to the game's release and can be seen here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qS0NQ3CtKhg

Rovio and Facebook have collaborated in the past to add extra bonus levels to several Angry Birds and Angry Birds Seasons episodes.

Game Play
The game is similar in most ways to the classic Angry Birds game, but with some notable changes:
 * Power-Ups allow players to target better, fly longer, and create more damage, but the game can be played wihtout the use of power-ups.
 * Social Media aspects allow players to invite friends to play, gift Power-ups to one another.
 * Angry Birds Shop allows players to purchase Power-ups and usage of the Mighty Eagle for their own use or as gifts to other players.
 * Avatars allow users to cutomize a bird icon for their profile.

Episodes
The game consists of three playable levels, two of which already exist in the classic Angry Birds game (Poached Eggs and Mighty Hoax):
 * 1) Poached Eggs
 * 2) Surf and Turf
 * 3) Mighty Hoax

Playable Birds

 * Red Bird

Avatars
On 2/11/12, Rovio introduced a link via the Angry Birds Facebook page for users to create a customized Bird avatar. The customizations included a crown, cowboy hat, pirate hat and sombrero, along with three types of sunglasses and an eye patch. Users can chose the Red, Blue, Yellow, White and Black birds as their base bird for customization. A cryptic message about defending the egg with a large flock around a golden egg with a crown can be seen on the site, implying this will have something to do with the storyline of the game.
