Rovio Releases Angry Birds Free with 12 Exclusive Levels

While we were all waiting for the OS X 10.6.6 and the Mac App Store to show up in Software Update, Rovio released a new version of Angry Birds in the App Store, for free. The app is called “Angry Birds Free” and must not be confused with “Angry Birds Lite”, which wasn’t updated since last April. This new version of the popular iOS (and now Mac, too) game contains 12 exclusive levels specifically built for users who want to try a free version before a paid upgrade.

But Angry Birds Free doesn’t stop at new levels not accessible in the paid counterparts. It’s also got Game Center integration with leaderboards and achievements, plus 4 new mini episodes that should keep you entertained before considering going paid. Two weeks ago, Rovio added 15 new levels, Game Center support and the Mighty Eagle to Angry Birds HD for iPad.

Angry Birds Free is available here, well, for free.
