Angry Birds Summer Pignic was the first game in the Seasons series that had not been released in line with a holiday. At the time of release, the Seasons game had a Halloween, Christmas, Valentines, St Patricks and an Easter game, but nothing to celebrate a season even though Christmas and Easter obviously to some point represented Winter and Spring respectively.

Released on all platforms on the 21^st June 2011, which was summer solstice (the longest day), the game worked in the same way as the Christmas version (angry birds seasons greedings) with 30 different levels that could be played as each day passed rather than when you finished the last level. This meant that by rights if the game was downloaded after the 21^st July 2011, then the levels could be played from 30 to 1 rather than the other way around. With this being said, the game did keep to its increasing level of difficulty system that had been used on all the previous games.

Angry Birds St Patricks Day – Go Green Get Lucky

To celebrate the popular Irish tradition, Rovio (the developers of Angry Birds) released St Patricks Day – Go Green Get Lucky. The game was released as an extension of the Season’s game and followed on from Halloween, Christmas and Valentine’s Day.

Game Differences

As expected, the game did not make any major structural changes. Furthermore, the things that did change were all necessities. For example, there was now an Irish themed background, which included lots of clovers, hills and rather ironically a sunset! In addition, the special point obstacles had been changed from boxes of candy in the Valentine’s Day edition to pots of gold in this one. Striking a pot of gold would give you 3000 points.

In order to celebrate the Chinese mid-autumn festival, Angry Birds released their seventh game in the Seasons series, Mooncake Festival. Released in September 2011, the game showed more promise than previous updates simply because it came with additional levels when compared to Seasons Greedings, Hogs and Kisses, Go Green Get Lucky, Easter Eggs and Summer Pignic.

Game Developments

As mentioned, the main change was that against the majority of other season games (you can find links to play the seasons packs online @ chrome birds), Mooncake Festival had double the amount of levels. This game had 30 levels and three additional ones that could be unlocked by liking the game on Facebook.

As with all the Season games, Mooncake Festival changed its background and the music as well in order to make it more oriental. This meant that there was now a rather relaxing background with slow passing clouds through rolling hills. Furthermore, the music was given an oriental twist. In addition, the objects that you had to overcome and the items used as defence by the green pigs had changed. These pigs now held paper fans and wore straw hats, which both acted as a defence.
