What a week this is turning out to be! Fresh on the heels of the Angry Birds Rio Trophy Room update for iOS comes a surprise Angry Birds original update for iOS that includes Surf & Turf, which was previously only available for Angry Birds Facebook (original post here). More platforms should be receiving the v2.1.0 update soon.
Android Update: v2.1.0 has landed on the Android Market (Google Play) and Amazon AppStore! A bug-fix update has also landed on Android Market as v2.1.1.
PC Update: v2.1.0 has landed for PC in the Angry Birds Shop!
Mac Update: v2.1.0 has landed for Mac in the Mac App Store!
Playbook Update: v2.1.0 is now available in the BlackBerry App World, which includes both Birdday Party and the first 15 levels of Surf & Turf!
This update includes:
- 15 Surf & Turf levels with 30 more “Coming Soon”
- A redesigned menu / episode selection screen that matches PC and Mac. Check out the beautiful new icons on our Angry Birds walkthrough page.
- Cool new animated help menus that show how to trigger each bird’s power. You access these by opening up a level, hitting pause, and then “?”.
- No power-ups! This means we can all compete on the Angry Birds leaderboard without issue. Please read more about the leaderboard below before proceeding.
- No one has found any Golden Eggs, so we assume there are none. This is likely consistent with a non-sequential episode.
Some helpful links:
- We’ve already got 3 star walkthroughs for all the Surf & Turf levels.
- The Angry Birds leaderboard has been updated to include Surf & Turf. Please don’t enter your scores on the Surf & Turf Facebook leaderboard unless they were actually achieved on Facebook.
Lastly, I should mention something that you likely already know. The MASSIVE Angry Birds Space update is only two days away. It feels like Christmas in March!
March madness ;-)
Noticed that you can select ME on the “level failed” menu for the trophy levels.
What is this ME thingy your talking about
ME is an abbreviation for Mighty Eagle.
Ok. thanks blahalb09
Got a laugh that you didn’t know! No offense ; )
somehow AB accidentally got deleted of my iPhone. can i get it back with all my progress?
Only if you sync with iTunes and even that is not a guarantee. Read more here
When you attach your device to iTunes do not let it “backup”
When you see your device on the left in iTunes
Right click and select restore from backup
This will only work if you have a previous backup
Good luck
ok thanks ill try that
Gosh…
I am honestly speachless…
…
This is just AWESOME!!!!!
Just not so awesome for me though, I have to wait for it coming out for Android…
Hey, at least Android got the ABR trophy room levels first. I finally 3 starred all of them yesterday on my Xoom. Now I’ve got two updates for my iPad. Once these updates are released on PC, I’ll have it all….
What’s weird is that I predicted that Surf and Turf would be the 8th episode!!! :D
I HOPED us mobile people would get it. I can’t play it on Facebook for a multitude of reasons. So even tho I’m Android &have to wait, I’m happy. :)
I can play it on Facebook.
Yes, but strictly mobile users cannot. Flash isn’t supported on iPad, and for whatever reason, it doesn’t even seem to function on Android. At least, I’ve never gotten it to function
The latest Samsung Galaxy Tab is Adobe Flash Player supported.
I am not sure if you can play ABF there.
I knew that it is Adobe Flash supported cause when I visited Samsung to buy my Android,I saw a poster that says it is Adobe Flash supported.
Cool! Hope it comes out on The Android Market (Google Play) soon!
Awwwwww yeahhhhhh
Surprise is right! This March has been a blast!
Some additional facts:
1. The new episode is missing in the Game Center leaderboard. Does anybody know why?
2. The new episode has no number. Neither is it labeled “episode 8”, nor are the worlds numbered 18 till 21. If you press the pause screen, it does not say e.g. level “18-1”, but only level 1.
3. If they have no further space for achievements in Game Center, why don’t they at least add new achievements to Crystal?
How would you even know that? It hasn’t been released yet
1) I believe they are out of GameCenter Leaderboards as well.
2) I believe this is nonsequential. We are calling it 8 to keep our taxonomy straight, but I believe it should be considered nonsequential.
3) I think Rovio is moving away from Chillingo.
@Slim: what do you mean by “as well”?
“As well” as GameCenter achievements
Those are bonus levels like the golden beach ball levels, which also do not have a leaderboard.
Yes, that would make sense.
I noticed that this update also reverted the Facebook like functionality back to opening a browser, rather than the integrated login window.
Let’s hope those destroyed blocks count towards Smash Maniac :)
I was just thinking about how AngryBirds didn’t launch any update for Valentines’, Easter .. etc I took a nap and woke up on two updates (original and Rio), now there are 30 levels + 15 ME levels to warm-up before ABoS. Anyway, I thought S&T is FB exclusive?
We thought so to, but in this case it’s nice to be wrong.
Main post says, or at least implies, that SaT came out later than Rio update for iOS. Is that correct? I think I actually got SaT first, because App store downloaded it first.
I’m going to have to pace myself, or nothing else will get done this week…. Oh, happy agony!
Rio landed first for me. My guess is that they were pushed live about the same time and different people received them in a slightly different order. Who knows.
man who would have seen this coming :-) but not that hard the levels! 3starred them all in less than one hour :(
any golden egg yet?
Well, it’s World Sparrow Day today too! Maybe that’s why the splurge of updates!
There’s no intro video but it is on the FaceBook
awesome! I saw that the icon in gamecenter reloaded, but thought it had something to do with me installing the 5.1 ios update..
so good! i’m free from work 2 days now, won’t move from the couch.. ^^
I don’t know if this has been mentioned yet but, has anyone noticed the >> button on the bottom right screen when you finish a level with remaining birds? When you tap on it, the game immediately directs you to the “3 star” screen, with the extra birds counted.
I wonder if that will fix the “never ending” levels and those ending too early.
The never ending yes, but those that end too early??? How?
I was wondering that, as stopping the early endings would require more of the blocks to be ‘followed’ for movement than are currently, and thus would not be affected by an early end button. Still, I guess time will tell!
Just speculating, by removing the routine that sometimes finished a level early and giving the player more control with that button.
Had a couple levels finish early today, so this did not change that. I suppose it would be something that Rovio could add to the app though.
This button does not let you decide at what moment you want to finish a level. You can immediately finish a “never ending” level with this button, but a “too early ending” level will still end too early.
In level 12 I even got the level failed screen, although the last pig was about to fall down.
That could make it a bit easier to track down the 3 star mins!
lol yes it should … definitely.
Wow, two new updates in just one night (at least here in my part of the world)! And that’s very near to the release of ABSpace! We already had a Seasons update two weeks ago. Rovio is really feeling generous this month in anticipation for Space.
Can’t wait until it’s for PC…
By the way, I got a new profile picture. It’s a kind-of smirking pig.
I forgot, I made the picture of the pig myself.
Cool avatar @OneBadPiggie! :)
WOW! 2 Updates and AB Space coming soon! What a week! Already 3 starred and feathered the new updates, but still having fun with them…who knew? Great Surprise Rovio!
Did you notice the updated Angry Birds Shop?

When this will be for Android,please?:)
Ha! I saw the icon ‘flash’ yesterday, and then forgot to post it here, so it wasn’t a surprise for me. Still nice though :)
Its almost like I have to check for my “daily” angry birds update. Then again , with 5 new games coming out this year I may have to.
I’m happy with joy right now. This week is going to be awesome.
I knew they would upgrade it.I just knew it.
Sorry slim,but this time,i’m right,you’re incorrect.
No need to be snide.
What is with you? Give up your ego man
I can’t wait to get this update for PC!
Ahh yat
In the article it says “Angry Birds Space Update”. AB Space is a new game, not an update(but you guys already knew that, right?).
They mean Launch… But what a party when I came home, AB and ABRio!
His mind is on vacason because of ABspace
and what about android?
Should be soon.
What about Mac
Same deal.
