Angry Birds Heikki Web App Fueling Up for June Launch


You heard it here first! Raise your hand if you remember who Heikki Kovalainen is. *One… Two…* OK, not too many, but some of you do, which is good. For those who don’t, Heikki Kovalaainen is a Finnish Formula One driver who is currently sporting an extraordinarily awesome Angry Birds helmet. We mentioned him and showed you his helmet a couple months ago.

In that post, we said:

Rovio has also partnered with Finnish Formula One driver Heikki Kovalainen, according to the racer’s website. This collaboration not only features Kovalainen in a nifty new helmet, but will also merchandise and a new Angry Birds web based game. […] The new web game will be launching sometime in the summer and will likely feature some cool level designs.

With the summer quickly approaching, and thanks to some clever sleuthing by @alfredhartojo, we present the official web app site: heikki.angrybirds.com. The site states that the app will start on June 18th, 2012, and of course we will post when it does and try to get walkthroughs online as quickly as possible. In the meantime, be sure to keep an eye on the many links included on the Heikki Angry Birds site, including Kovalainen’s personal website, Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube pages.

Update: The launch was delayed until June 25th.

The Lotus F1 Team mini game is on! Three levels available on the Facebook page of Lotus.
And what is more intriguing, there is the Angry Birds Friends logo below the game, that links to AB Facebook. I started to think that it’s not a new multiplayer mode or something, just a renaming of AB Facebook to AB Friends.

Even if it is a RACING game, not sling-based arcade? :)

I think that they should bring the Heikki game to ABO like they did with Surf and Turf.

But why 25.6? It was supposed to be released tomorrow. Now, I have to wait next Monday.

Yeah, It should have been released today… Rovio almost never changes the release dates of their games!

Where is the leaderboard? And where are the walkthroughs? It’s out for 20 minutes now and still no walkthroughs!

It’s web-based game. You can only play it on PC&Mac’s.

You can – believe it or not – play 1 (in words: one) single level! And the next level will be in 2 weeks.

Not today, usually races are scheduled on Sundays with pole position qualifier a day or two before.
Here is the Schedule of the remaining races for 2012.
