Angry Birds creator Rovio announced today that Angry Birds Facebook has exited beta in a big way. The Facebook app has been renamed Angry Birds Friends, and has been updated with a bevy of new content and features.
Angry Birds Friends has been redesigned to encourage weekly play. Every week four new levels are introduced for that week’s tournament. Gamers have seven days (Monday to Sunday) to post the highest cumulative score they can. At the end of the week each player’s score is then compared to their friends, and medals are doled out. One nice detail is that the medals are cumulative, encouraging gamers to collect as many gold medals as possible.
These medals can then be redeemed for power-ups that normally need to be purchased with cash. A gold medal earns players a bundle of three power-ups, silver medal is good for two and bronze a single power-up.
Angry Birds Friends is free-to-play on Facebook right now.
Angry Birds first entered public beta on Facebook in Spring 2011. The title quickly climbed to over 20 million monthly users. It is currently the 7th most popular game on the entire social network, and the most popular non-Zynga title.
