Angry Birds Go Sub Zero Update Now Available!

Break out the ice scrapers and start your engines! Angry Birds Go! v1.2.0 is now available for iOS and Android, and brings loads of new content!

This update includes:

  • The new Sub Zero episode! Speed your way along the snowy and icy terrain in the arctic battle of snowmobiles. There are 18 races to win.
  • Seasonal event tweaks! There is no “boss” in this episode, but rather a difficult Slalom race, where you must coordinate your way through the gates like an Olympic athlete! Also, “Fruit Splat” has been replaced with “Ice Splat”.
  • Loads of new carts! There’s only one cart available for coins (Tar Barreller L1 for 2,000 coins), several available for gems, several available by TELEPOD, and a one available as a $1.99 IAP (with a bonus of coins and gems).
  • New Daily Event to earn some extra coins and gems! Compete in this event daily to increase your reward: Day 1 is 200 coins, day 2 is 400 coins, day 3 is 4 gems, day 4 is 600 coins, day 5 is 6 gems, day 6 is 1000 coins, and day 7 is 10 gems. Also, you can connect to Facebook and double the reward! Note that the event seems to run 1AM to 1AM Eastern Time (10PM Pacific).
  • Dozens of miscellaneous tweaks, bug squashes, etc. Notable among these are a display of all opponent CC’s at the race start, squashing some impossible-to-beat challenges, and more!

So hurry to the App Store and start tearing up the snow before it all melts! It’s getting downright balmy here in the northeast with temperatures approaching the 50s, so enjoy the winter wonderland while you can!

Why there is a “preview” sign on the chapter banner in chapter’s selection menu?

@kooop I might guess there is more to come in later updates, since it’s only 1 chapter instead of the normal 3.

By Contributor

There are likely going to be more than three chapters, as there are Red, King Pig, Bomb, Hal, and something that looks like a minion pig.

By Contributor

Oops, I meant Telepods of them. I saw Hal, Chuck, and Bomb at Target. After playing Slalom though, I think they will only add the karts.

Display of all opponents’ CC was already in v. 1.1.0

Rank: Well Traveled with 1850 points
By Adrian McShade (@adrianchau)

Well, this update isn’t the most likable of all, I think.

– Rovio nerfed the carts so that in some Stunt races, when a cart wasn’t supposed to break after falling off a ridge with a certain amount of strength (eg: track 1 beginning), it breaks almost everytime I try before I upgraded my stats in Strength.

– All chapters, with the exception of Seedway, have only one Coin cart available. What…

– Some race tracks are also nerfed too, with fewer coins available in-race (not confirmed)

This is not bearable at all, imo.

By Contributor

That was in v1.1.0 also. I only noticed the first two, though.

It seems like Rovio only wants more money now. Back in the old days I remember Rovio tried to do so if you had purchased ME for ABclassic you would get it for all the other Ab apps as well.

@bad-piggies-2 Isn’t it in the nature of any company to make money? Remember that Go is a freemium app, so they aren’t making very much on this app up front.

2nd challenge in Ice Splat mode: “use boost 10 times”
Impossible?
There is only one boost in the whole race, and when I use it, it does not count.
???

Rank: Sling God with 32120 points
By AMslimfordy (@amslimfordy)

@chriss From the wording, it will add boost usage between tries. It doesn’t have to be done in a single run.

Rank: Gold Flinger with 9830 points

I know, Slim, that’s not the problem. The problem is that it does not count when I use it.

@chriss . I did try with more than half Drivers and I never see any boost pad. It was yesterday . I thought maybe de drivers are tired..!!! I did try again this morning : same not results : I did not see any boost pad. If there are !!! Where they are too hidden ; or not boost pat at all…!!!

By Chris (@chriss)

@nacho18: When you drive to the very left at the beginning, you see something that looks like a boost. I’m not sure if it is a boost because it does not really boost. Apart from this, there is no other boost that can be used, and as I said before, this boost does not count. So how can we do this challenge?

Rank: Pig Leader with 10660 points
By nacho18 (@nacho18)

@chriss . Just to skip !!! But it’s ver costly ; depends how many you need for next skip !!!

Rank: Gold Flinger with 9830 points
By Chris (@chriss)

Yes, but I don’t want to skip. Rovio has to make challenges that are doable.
I still hope that one of our nesters will find the solution.

I am agree with you @chriss . But ROVIO ; doesn’t care. I wrote twice telling and asking for fixing and doing very doable Challenges. And you what their aswer was: a very Polite answer . They designed this game for increase their checking account. Really bad for us.

Boost pads are on the short cuts there are about three of them

Hello combread!!!! WHERE ARE THE SHORT CUTS. I drive all over !!! And couldn’t found it …!!! Can you tell us where do you found it. Question did you achieve the Mission and did you pass this Top Impossible Challenge.!!!

By wrw01 (@wrw01)

@chriss
I agree with you. I played this level 20 times, no boost pads and no numbers that were added to the counter. The red arrows at the start on the left do not provide a number in the counter for boost pads. I even used the “Boost upgrade” at the beginning of two races and that did not record any numbers in the counters. I wrote Rovio a GO Game Support email to report the observation on Friday.

The game is fun to play and the ice does provide a different challenge in trying to steer each of the carts. Went through 11 Challenge rounds and it is a bit different from the other levels. I have found that collecting the “least” of something does make it interesting. In every other level, one wants to get the coins, etc. Trying to avoid them does make it fun to find new travel paths through the level.

Also noticed they added a new big cc kart to speedway, rocky road, air and stunt.

Wonder when they will come out with the telepods for the new carts and the Sub Zero level? Have not seen anything in the stores or ebay for Series 2 except for the one AB post but that was outside the US based on the writing on the price tag.

GO is a fun game to play and a good alternative to the sling, birds and pigs. Nice work at play Rovio.

@wrw01: please let us know when Rovio has answered you. I wonder what they say about the boost problem.

Rank: Sling God with 67705 points
By wrw01 (@wrw01)

@chriss
Rovio responded and said there are no boost pads on this level and they are investigating this along with ten other notes I sent about other levels that do not given credit when the requirements are met. Seems like GO has some quality control issues especially in the first two race tracks in the game.

That’s good to hear, @wrw01. Hope they will let us know when these issues are fixed. Thanks for having contacted Rovio.

Hi!! @chriss there is above on this Posting that yesterday March 24 he said the Boost Pads are on Short Cuts : I did tried but couldn’t found out any short cut : they are Close . I did it to cruise or jump …!!! No results. The guy which wrote the posting is : cornbread . I asked him how he did it but not answer until know ..!!!! I don’t know if you Want To Try..!!! Check above . Please and let me know what you got it.

Rank: Gold Flinger with 9830 points
By Chris (@chriss)

@nacho18: This is nonsense. In this race all the shortcuts are locked. The shortcuts are on the right-hand and left-hand side. There is only one shortcut at the beginning that is not locked. But as I said earlier, it does not count if you use the boost pad. You might contact Rovio again. You must describe the problem better.

Rank: Gold Flinger with 9830 points
By Chris (@chriss)

@nacho18: After having replayed the race a lot of times, I can say that the red signs are not boost pads. So the whole race has not one single boost pad. That explains why the counter is always on 0.

I think the problem is that the people who program a game don’t play it, and the people who play it don’t program it.

And the characters won’t run out of energy, either! The only problem here is that they give you a random character (sometimes not the one you want).

It’s me, the anonymous someone. My account won’t let me be logged in on this page for some reason. Anyway, I am not having any problems with this update. Maybe it’s cause I just got my new device with a better operarating system. My old nook couldn’t run this game, so I got it right after the update. I guess I’m not as mad as you guys, but after reading your complaints, I really am disappointed with Rovio. This may have sounded weird, but I was in a hurry.

I hope they change the amount of coins you can earn in this episode, since there aren’t that many you can get. But I’m guessing that’s Rovio’s way of getting people to buy gems :(

Kind of a difficult track to race on. but since it’s ice & snow, it’s expected. (a little hint: don’t max out your speed cc..it’ll make things harder) but then again, I thought Air and Stunt were hard when I first played them. But I do like the daily challenges, though.

No new characters. However, couldn’t Angry Birds Go! add pigs such as Hambo, Freckled Pig and the Fat pig?

By Contributor

I’d say Professor Pig, Chef Pig and Chronicler Pig. Hambo is exclusive to Toons. Ooh! Maybe Chef Pig and his Egg Beater, Professor Pig’s Atom Splitter, Chronicler Pig’s Bookworm, Fat Pig’s Mega Pork, and Freckled Pig’s Bad Piggy!

By Contributor

And Power Ups! Sling Scope will show all other racer’s slingshot paths, Birdquake will shake everyone up at the start, and the Mighty Eagle will destroy everyone’s kart (I was going to have Super Seeds, but the Target Kart was exactly what it was going to do).

Neat! Not to mention I’ll get 20 gems per day, since I logged into Facebook just for this purpose, also lets me beat my friends scores whenever required, since none of them play.
I seem to be a day behind, probably because I started out playing with an iffy wifi connection. Do the tracks and characters you play with change daily? I don’t remember getting Chuck yesterday, but may not have been paying enough attention. Did anyone else get a Sub-Zero course on day one or two? I did, but not since.
For the record today’s course for me was Air.
@AMSlimfordy — What do you mean, don’t you speak Nacho? Perfectly understandable to me.

20 gems every day. This must be a joke, right? There are karts that cost 9000 gems. I have to play 450 days to earn enough gems to buy this kart. For all 5 karts I have to play more than 6 years!

Rovio is completely out of touch with reality.

Not even IAP can help. 5 karts cost 9000 gems each, and 5 other karts cost 6000 gems each. Makes a total amount of 75000 gems. In order to buy that many gems via IAP, you would have to spend 1150 dollars!!!

I think the cheapest thing is to buy Telepods. Where can I buy the Telepods series 2?

Rank: Explosive with 2195 points
By waze (@wazemank)

It is clear that Rovio wants to make more and more money (it’s the goal of any company) via IAP or Telepods.

@chriss You could maybe get these 20 gems, advance the time in your device and play inmediately the daily event again (and again and…). So you could get much more than these 20 gems in some minutes. Is it possible?

Although possible, it’s uncomfortable to use your device with no actual time. And don’t know if your Rovio account could be “affected”.

Probably a stupid question, so go ahead and bring your best!
