As announced on the 25th of January 2012 by Rovio via YouTube, Angry Birds is now available on Facebook. It launched officially on the 14th of February; Valentine’s Day.
Angry Birds has been downloaded more than 700 million times since its release for Apple’s iOS in December 2009, and with Facebook’s 800 million users, it’s bound to hit 1 billion soon.
New features for the Facebook version of Birds include the following:
- Scores can be posted to News Feed
- Players can send ‘in-game gifts’ to each other
- Players can earn special rewards for high scores
The Facebook version allows users to pay for extra birds and other in-game extras and Peter Vesterbacka, the Chief Marketing Officer, hopes up to 40% of Facebook users would pay for the extras.
