Angry Birds flocks to Facebook

Rovio Entertainment has officially launched Angry Birds on Facebook. The new game will feature the Angry Birds gameplay that fans already know and love, but with added social and competitive elements, brand new power-ups, and Facebook-exclusive levels.

With the brand-new social features fans can compete with their friends, brag about their scores, and earn coveted gold, silver, and bronze crowns for the top three scores in any level. Fans can also give their Facebook friends “mystery gifts” of power-ups.

In addition to the Mighty Eagle, Angry Birds on Facebook has new power-ups to help pop even the peskiest piggy. Fans can earn power-ups by playing the game, receiving them as a “mystery gift” from a friend, or purchasing them. To begin, there are four power-ups available and Rovio is giving out 14 free power-ups to anyone who plays Angry Birds on Facebook between now and February 16th.
