Angry Birds Friends

Angry Birds Facebook
Angry Birds Facebook is a new game collaboration between Rovio and Facebook, announced on the Angry Birds Facebook page (http://www.facebook.com/angrybirds) on January 25, 2012. The game will be released on February 14, 2012 between 6pm and 9pm in Jakarta, Indonesia.

The game will introduce new “power-ups” that can be earned during the game or purchased (e.g. an earthquake; or special, bigger, or stronger birds). There will also be leaderboards to integrate a social media aspect.



A video trailer was released that demonstrated the power-ups by showing two birds growing larger on the slingshot. When growing larger, they appear to shed feathers. The power-ups are accessed by a slide-out menu at the top of the screen. One power-up is the King Sling. This changes the wood slingshot to a metal one, allowing the birds to be launched with maximum speed and power. Additionally, the theme song appears to have been updated in the video.



The video can be seen on the Rovio Mobile Youtube Channel 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 Seasons episodes.
