Angry Birds Rio Gets 15 New Levels

We’ve been tracking the releases and development of Angry Birds here at MacStories, and it looks like Rovio really won’t give up on updating its insanely popular franchise (which surprisingly didn’t win an Apple Design Award) for iPhone and iPad. Recently dethroned by the blockbuster-selling The Heist, Angry Birds is back with a new update for the Rio version, both on phones and tablets. Angry Birds Rio 1.2 gets 15 shiny new levels with a samba setting that reminds of Rio Carnival – I’ve been playing around with them and they look great, with the usual amount of fun provided by Rovio’s clever level design.

Or, to use Rovio’s iTunes changelog:

A whole new episode! It’s time to Samba!
15 all new levels
New bird type

You can download the full version of Angry Birds Rio for iPhone ($0.99) or iPad ($2.99).
