Long, long ago we reported a collaboration between Rovio, the Angry Birds, and the NFL franchise Philadelphia Eagles (for the original post, click here). Well now we have some new information, and the good news is, it’s coming soon! Very soon! How about, September 4th!!
Some preliminary information about this app. There will be 16 levels, one released per week that the Eagles actually play. The Eagles have their “Bye Week” on the weekend of 21 October, so no level that week. Also, no word on whether more levels will be added if the Eagles make the playoff. It will be a Facebook-based game, playable on the Philadelphia Eagles’ Facebook page. It also appears that the gameplay has a small tweak, which is pretty cool. There are green footballs (or “pigskins”, if you will), which are also worth 5000 points. If anyone remembers Carnival Upheaval in Angry Birds Rio, I’m guessing this is very similar to the green piggie balloons, where they were worth 5000 points but not required to pass the level. This is just speculation on my part, but I think it’s quite likely.
We are also introduced to the Mighty Philadelphia Eagle, who appears to act identically as our original Mighty Eagle with a very slight twist. Actually, that’s quite literal: The Philadelphia Eagle seems to do a couple of spins after reaching the point of it’s V-shaped trajectory, then continue onward.
Be sure to check back here in September, as we will cover all levels with walkthroughs!
Update
September 4th is here and the the first level, “Cleveland” can now be played on the Philadelphia Eagles Facebook page. Here is a direct link to the game. We are working on getting the walkthroughs posted as we speak.
Mighty Philedelphia Eagle looks weird…
It’s gotta be the jersey!
All the Mighty Philedelphia Eagle is, is a football with an eagle head.
I wonder if it will be free or paid. since we will only use it on this episode
This sounds exciting for the FB users. Too bad Rovio can’t do one for the Cincinnati Bengals, but since cats chase birds it wouldn’t be a very good idea :).
I’d like to see one for the Silver and Black Attack, aka the Raiders. Which fits, when you think about it, as the pigs are continually raiding the birds nest for eggs.
So… Is this like a 5th game, after ABOriginal, ABSeasons, ABRio and ABSpace? A new app, like ABPhiladelphiaEagles or an update to ABFriends? Wonder, wonder, wonder… Well, guess we’ll see on the 4th!
It most likely will be a web-based game, not an entirely different app, in my opinion.
It IS a Facebook-based game, as the post says.
Web game for sure,but what it it’s not.Rio hasn’t got an update for a very long time.
Tommorow is the day!!!!Yeah!!!
It is tommorow! It looks so amazing! Can’t wait! I hope that the Mighty Philadelphia Eagle is free! :)
I think it MUST be free because 2 reason :
1. there just 16 levels, so I think its free like mighty dragon
2. there NO ingame purchase on web game (except AB friend).
Anyways, I have some “hidden in this world” Wallpaper. If you don’t mind, you can check it !
I was able to load the Eagles FB Game. The link is:
https://www.facebook.com/philadelphiaeagles/app_453904584629858
If that does not work, just go to the Philadelphia Eagles Facebook page. There is a link just below their cover picture.
Just tried the Mighty Eagle, it is free.
Thanks Sparty. And congratulations on a solid win over Boise State. That was a very exciting game, down to the wire.
Thanks Slim. Good thing we had a solid running game, our passing game was almost non-existant.
Trying to narrow down 3 star score here but my range is too great right now. 79k=2, 83k=3
when you get three stars and full feather the level turns gold and you “get” something called the touchdown achievement.. :)
Got the 3 star limit:
79060= 2 stars
80060= 3 stars
@antwan83, Yea, thought that was pretty neat.
Any tips on clearing with ME? I can’t get higher than 96% at this point.
Figures that within three tries of that post, I get 100%. I just tried to get as much debris to the floor as possible and barely flick the football so it didn’t bounce too much.
Looks like the “Whine on ABN” trick worked it’s magic again.
Yeah, cute VGA game, I just got 91K+ with one bird.
I assume we will get a walkthrough later today, but no leaderboard, right? I’m wondering if there is a way to find out what the highest score is?
Also, this game has a near-perfect way of describing PATS: Just describe each aim point in yards along the center-line. So far I’m stuck at 99% TD, and remembering why I don’t usually play facebook games (too much lag).
Just to let you know so you don’t lose any game progress this game dose not save on your Facebook.
I am on Windows 7 and it saved to
C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Roaming\Macromedia\Flash Player\#SharedObjects\xxxxxxxx\philadelphia-eagles.appspot.com\flash\AngryBirdsPhiladelphiaEagles.swf\ABEagle.sol
That is true. We can keep our scores in USB flash drives L0L
just a doubt
if we dont remove our cache, history etc will our progress be gone?????
my basic doubt is whether the browser routinely deletes unused pages or are they only deleted when we ask the browser to do so?
