Angry Birds requires no introduction. The game is now available for Symbian ^3, iOS, Android etc. Today the iOS version has seen a giant update. Game Center Support, Retina Display Support, 15 Tough Levels, New Golden Egg, Optimized Memory Usage and Localization for Efigs, Chinese and Japanese. The Game Center Support has been one of the most wanted things on this game, and Rovio has done it properly. You get achievements to unlock and leaderboards to climb, and if you were playing through Crystal all this while, your old scores and achievements carry over, so you dont start from scratch.
The Retina graphics are for the iPhone 4 and the 4th gen iPod touch, and you can see the difference the moment you start playing. The 15 new levels are the tough ones Rovio talked about a couple of weeks back, when the update, nicknamed Pig Fat, went to Apple and sat there waiting for approval. The new Golden Egg is a sound board this time.
So thats almost 200 levels for 99 cents, 59p or €0.79, and its a free update if you already own the game!! Crazy value. The webOS build should get this update before long too, so Palm owners, stay tuned. Now excuse us, we have pigs to knock over.
