Rovio is on fire!! (see what I did there?)*
After the successful launch of Angry Birds Stella and Plunder Pirates, with Angry Birds Transformers coming soon, what’s next? Selfie Slam!
The game takes the ever-popular pastime of taking selfie photos and incorporates it into the game. After uploading your selfie and customizing your avatar, you battle your friends in various oddball areas.
According to the official site (www.selfieslamgame.com), the game features are listed as:
- PLAY loads of oddball challenges like King Of The Hill and Bomber!
- CONNECT to Facebook and battle your friends’ avatars!
- BEAT your opponents to unlock new arenas, accessories and limbs!
- UNLEASH your imagination as you create the kookiest avatar ever!
- MAXIMIZE your avatar to get a gold medal on every challenge!
Selfie Slam has already been released on iOS in Canada, Sweden and Finland. While no additional release information has been divulged, it is likely that it will be released globally and on other platforms in the near future.
The game is released via LVL 11, Rovio’s experimental publishing arm. To read more on LVL 11, check out the article on gamasutra.com.

A great game! I did a review on my YouTube channel and so far no negative comments! Rovio is getting better and better and better!
A new RovioLVL11 game? I really like those games where your face is used as your avatar’s in a game! But, have they even released RETRY globally yet?

@aidbirds11 – Not sure if you missed the first line of the article that the asterisk references –

How did i miss that?
What a creative idea for a game. If one has a number of FB friends this could be interesting game play.
Ok. I am using this anonymous because it is already by 23:00 here in my area.
Also, that “Rovio is on fire” thing is true.
