“Hoccus Porkus” and “Open Swine-same” only begin to describe this morning’s release, as Abra-Ca-Bacon has been released as v3.3.0 of Angry Birds Seasons! The update has landed for iOS, Mac, PC, Kindle, Nook, and Android via Google Play and the Amazon Appstore, with more platforms coming very soon. This marks the first release by Rovio’s Stockholm studio, which you can read more about in Rovio’s press release.
PC users: Please see our separate post for additional details about obtaining this update.
This is a pretty exciting update, so let’s get right into it. This update includes:
- 30 new levels centered around the magical, summertime experience of the circus. Walkthroughs are already being recorded and should be live soon. If you need help, our walkthrouhgs are live
- 6 bonus levels! Star-based bonus levels are unlocked at 30, 50, and 70 stars accrued in the episode; Feather-based bonus level is unlocked at 10. There’s one Golden Egg hidden in-game (we aren’t going to say where quite yet, but keep an eye out!), and the Big Juggling Pins level will unlock by 3-starring all 30 levels. Walkthroughs available here.
- New portal element! If you have played Cut the Rope or PORTALS, you have an idea of how this works. If anything passes into one portal, it comes out of the matching-colored portal somewhere else in the level. The first few levels of Abra-Ca-Bacon will get you used to the concept.
- New power-up! Called “Allaka-BAM”, the Power Up places three TNT crates around the level to help your birdies blast the piggies!
- Two new achievements for iOS! This is very unexpected. We’ve been saying that GameCenter reached it’s limit, which wasn’t quite true. Before today, Seasons had used 980 out of 1000 points; this update adds 16 more points, which means there’s still a tiny bit of room left.
- Pro Tips! Juggling pins are worth 3000 points, and gold tokens are worth 1000 points!
- In-game Power Up distinction! Yes, now your in-game “High Score” will differentiate your best score with and best score without use of Power Ups, similar to Angry Birds Space. It’s what we have really wanted since the inception of Power Ups into the apps, and we are grateful to Rovio for heeding our request. Thanks guys!
Helpful links and notes:
- Abra-Ca-Bacon 3-star walkthroughs are live soon.
- Abra-Ca-Bacon Total Destruction walkthroughs will take more time. Check out our other videos in case you get stuck; we have most levels of Seasons, and all levels released over the past year or so.
- The leaderboards are also live. Remember that scores obtained with Power Ups are not permitted on our leaderboards.
- Bug Fix: Some users were having issues with 3-star “Big Items” remaining locked, despite obtaining 3-stars on all levels. According to Rovio, this should be fixed in this update (v3.3.0). We are looking to confirm.
I think you get points for the number of things that go through the portals.
I keep trying to download it but I have a ton of space but it said low space
If you are using android you have to look at your phone memory and not SD-card memory.
Off topic: ”Slash fans will be pleased to know that we will be revealing a limited run of #SlashBird tees VERY soon!
Interesting…. I never really knew WHO Slash was. Is he from Aerosmith or something?
He was actually part of the classic rock band known as Guns ‘N’ Roses.

I like this update. For once the golden egg is hard to obtain. (Still working on it. GRRRRR >:€) 3* Here I come!
How can I update my ABs? I do not find the way…
@mundell which device are you using, an Apple (iOS) device or and Android device?
I use my PC maybe there is no updates for it?!
@mundell Yep, AB Seasons has not updated yet for PC.
Surprise surprise! There’s an ABO update with 15 new BP levels that include Stella, and a redeemable code thing like on the Croods (GREATDAY isn’t a code on it :( ). Also there is no in-game PU differentiation. D:<
@anonymousomeone ABO Bad Piggies last 15 levels already updated for iOS & Android on 07 March,2013 :/
Just bug fixes and android have now enter unluck code feature
Well now I feel stupid.
What are the code things for on ABo?
@Flurrt
Answer-‘When you play a mini-game from an iterative expandable ad, you can gain codes to unlock superseeds.’
Not sure if anyone else has reported this bug.. so forgive me if it’s late.
Levels 2-4, 2-5 and 2-12 on my Android (Google Play version), doesn’t report any previous score even tho the levels are done. All the other levels report a previous score, so you can see if you beat it or not. Currently I have 3*s on 4/5 and 2 on 12. Those levels show a score of 0 each time they are played.
Not a major glitch.. but something Rovio may want to look at if it does affect anything.
Not aware of any such glitch. Are you sure you didn’t use Power Ups on those levels?
@amslimfordy He’s right. But i think it is in all level. After i 3* a level with new score, when i go to play that level again, it doesn’t show my previous score on top right part.
Playing on android 2.3.6
Typically.. I open up all levels .. then go back and try to three star them. A strat I’m sure a lot use, and now that I am back up to those levels trying to 3* them, I noticed they didn’t save the scores when they were reached. Not sure why.. I know I didn’t use power ups because I save them for trying to reach higher scores, which is how I found out the scores were 0 when I went back.
Is this how the scores are saved by the game now? With/without PU scores? If so… then cool!
Awesome episode.Only thing is,3 stars limit for 2-12’s seemingly ridiculous.Seems u need only 1 bird,I’ve had no fewer than 3 2-birders all @118K & that HAD to be the limit.If it’s M&D 17-7 all over again I admit defeat.
Seasons was updated on Amazon on May 28 or 29th to 3.3.0.
My Abra ca bacon scores are not listed in ‘game center’ any know what to do about? All my other scores are in there.
It’s a known issue. Rovio was notified.
Thanks. Then I won’t try to changes settings etc on my phone anymore :-)
Abra-Ca-Bacon Out Now on PC !!
correct!!! i saw it and i am thrilled with excitement at this!!! at last!
No download available on my PC!! Nothing on Rovio site either.
It’s there. You can go to download.angrybirds.com and download the v3.3.0 Demo if you aren’t being prompted.
One small problet-now getting an update message! -if I opt for the update, I get a screen after a few moments effectively telling me version installed is later than update and update is aborted. All well and good. No problem.
But I am offered the update everytime I open ABS-which is beginning to get a little irritating. Hopefully this will go away before the next “real” update!
Would re-installing the Demo again cure this?
This issue has arisen in the forum. You should see that thread.
Thanks. That worked.
After a LOOOONG 8 months… Finally I watched a YouTube video embedded in this site… I am relieved!!! Finally i can see the walkthroughs and complete every level i need star on.. specially Path of Jedi
Anyone else getting a false “update” notice in Seasons 3.3.0, which leads you to download 3.2.0? I’ve also noticed that that’s the current update version on their website, here:
http://cloud.rovio.com/install/pc/update/AngryBirdsSeasons/
We have more specific instructions and cautions for PC users on our separate PC post for this update.
Having completed all levels plus golden eggs not sure why my score is not showing in the leaderboard. Anyone have any ideas?
I assume you mean GameCenter. Rovio is aware and it will likely be fixed in the next update.
