The latest update to the original Angry Birds Seasons (v1.5.0) is now available for iOS devices and Android via the Android Marketplace and Amazon AppStore. More platforms will be coming online soon. This update includes a the summer themed episode named Summer Pignic (links to trailer).
Notes:
- Summer Pignic 3 star and Golden Egg walkthroughs are coming online!
- You MUST BE CONNECTED TO THE INTERNET THE FIRST TIME YOU OPEN A LEVEL (only the first time) so that it can download the level file and check the date (this prevents early access).
- AMslimfordy noticed that there might be a bug in the cumulative score counter that you see at the top of the screen when you pass a level. It seems to be pulling your score from Trick or Treat, not Summer Pignic. If you notice your score counter going up and up and up after you pass a level this is why. Just give it a minute and it will finish. I imagine Rovio will fix this bug.
From what we know this update includes:
- 30 new levels with ONE NEW LEVEL UNLOCKED EVERY DAY (remember Seasons Greedings?)!
- 5 new achievements
- More Golden Eggs to be found (click for their locations and walkthroughs)
- A “Big Basket” bonus level that is unlocked when you 3 star every level
- Pig clouds (not really a feature, but I thought it was a cool touch)
- The Golden Egg numbering discrepancy between the iPhone and iPad has been fixed.
Based on the trailer Summer Pignic should eventually be available for: iOS (iPhone, iPad, iTouch), Android, Mac, PC, Palm, Symbian, and Nook. If you missed the official game play trailer from Rovio check out this post.
Does anyone think Rovio is hinting Mighty Eagle arrival in AB Seasons with this achievement, “Summer Pignic Total Destruction”? Besides finishing the level with 3 stars, “Total Destruction” is what you get for getting 100% destruction with the Mighty Eagle. Lack of “feather” kinda throws the hint off.
Every episode has the achievement “Total Destruction”, so I don’t think that’s the reference. However, I think iOS users can expect Mighty Eagle to land soon, perhaps in Season 7 (whenever that is).
I would expect the special surprise to be the mighty eagle at the end of summer Pignic. Either that or the arrival of angry birds sync
When I say the arrival of ABSync I mean that’s when the mighty eagle comes out.
I have to disagree with ME as surprise. I don’t think the Bad Piggy Bank is ready yet, so it would be unfair to make Android endure a countdown for nothing.
Perhaps “Bird Brains” (aka AB Sync) beta will launch 21 July, since Rovio said they are expecting a beta during summer.
Is that what its going to be called ? ” bird brains ” Whoever at rovio came up with that is a genius what a great name ! :D
BirdLeader came up with that name, but we haven’t heard any official name from Rovio yet. *fingers crossed for Bird Brains and for the new “Bing to decide” to be ABN*
Ya I think the Mighty Eagle would come out when Bird Brains is released so you don’t have to pay for the ME again. I hope that they think of the ME being pre-paid on seasons so we don’t pay for it twice.
I can’t help but disagree. For your plan to work, Mighty Eagle would have to launch on 6 platforms simultaneously: Android, Ovi, webOS, Mac, PC and Nook. There’s very little evidence of that being ready.
And ME will free-transfer to Seasons and Rio. We have a tweet confirming that
Sync and the Mighty Eagle are completely different beasts. The latter needs an efficient — and simple — mechanism to handle in app micro-transactions. iOS has this, which is why the ME is already available here. Sync will be coming to Seasons soon, but I doubt it’ll be universally supported on all platforms in the near future. I’d be happy to be wrong though.
Ah I see. That is great news to hear that it will free transfer to Seasons and Rio. But one thing still puzzles me. How did the ME get captured and taken to Rio. It is HUGE!
I don’t know if this means anything, or if I am just so bored this morning that I’m being too analytical. . .
Has anyone noticed the changing clouds each day? The first and second days, the clouds were shaped like pigs and birds. The third day it was pigs, birds, and eggs (and, maybe not coincidentally, there was a golden egg on day 3). Today (day 4), the clouds are shaped like, well, clouds.
I’m wondering if the clouds are clues to something? If nothing else, maybe a clue that there is a golden egg on a given level?
God, I need a life. . .
I have noticed this too. Today, level 5, there is even a dog. Strange. Maybe it’s pay homage to past characters (the dog in Rio)?
You could be right, BL. The day I thought was really odd was 1-4 with cloud shaped clouds. I’m guessing that they don’t have any particular meaning, but it’s hard to turn my academic brain off. . .
Do you think this has anything to do with a new game?
Hmm…I noticed they were different but did not put that together with the golden eggs. Great thinking, now I will pay more attention.
I really do not like the sky moving as it tends to make me feel a little sick, like some of the moving car games. I wonder if anyone else has noticed that feeling.
I am also TIRED of only one level per day!!! I am ready for they whole batch at once! And the updates are soooo slow in coming in on Rio and regular AB.
I think I need a life too.
What about the n8 angry birds seasons update?
Haven’t heard anything specific
What is n8? I never heard of that term.
Nokia N8, it’s a type of phone.
Symbian users unite! The N8 Faithful need:
Summer Pignic
Carnival Upheaval Part II
Mine and Dine
. . . and Mighty Eagle if you could possibly manage the time.
Please Rovio! Nokia started your success, don’t forget about us!

AMslimfordy, I know you are not affiliated with Rovio . . . nevertheless my frustration is still the same so I thought I would post it in your forum with the slim hope word might get back to them.
Keep me posted if you hear anything.
Is any angry birds gonna be out for kincect
Not sure about that.
BirdLeader and FujiToast.. Where are you? I didn’t see any new post.. In vacation? bigblueblack.ezzo wants new posts.
Here are recent posts, published by BirdLeader, videos by FujiToast. They are also very active in the chatter. Other than that, no real news to announce… Just that Rovio is working on bug fixes for AB and ABS (and perhaps ABR for Android, but that’s less clear).
I can’t manage to get a star in todays level o.o
I crashed all pigs but it says “level failed”
As did I. I could HEAR the pig, but couldn’t SEE it. Zooming out was of little help.
Any ideas? Suggestions? Futile, forlorn, tattered hopes?
Got the 3-star finish. I sent the first yellow bird in a shallow dive UNDER the concrete platform as far as I could get it, which caused a huge cascading collapse. Then I send the second yellow bird high using the boulder to push the pig hard into the TNT. Got the 10k bonus for the white bird. Total score: 116,640.
Question: do you, or any one else, think that perhaps this level is structured in such a way that, either you hit the 3-star threshhold, or you get nothing? Food for thought, and debate.
I get 15150 with your method
I had this now 4 times in 5 tries. I guess, that somehow the pig on top of the TNT flies away instead of getting killed when the yellow bird hits the TNT.
oops, no! There is another little pig in the grass, hidden. Between the two small hills. It does not get killed every time when the bird hits the wood and the structure collapses
Yes at the first time I don’t see it
Oops wrong I was getting 115150
OK, now I feel a little better! :-) :-)
OK, I see the little pig. Didn’t see it last night when the level opened up, as I was far too bleary eyed.
When I started AB Pgnic just now, I had no Internet connection so it wouldn’t let me play today’s level. Now I do have an Internet connection, but it won’t let me open the level until tomorrow. Annoying.
You get one level per day.
I only want to play one level today – today’s level!
I hope that when it checks the date over the internet in the morning it lets me play today’s AND tomorrow’s.
Have you tried restarting your device? Should be up to 5 now
The restart did it – thanks. This really should be first-line attempt at problem solving but I rarely think of it. Now happily three-starred and ready for day 6 tomorrow.
Really want more than one level per day! I want to keep on while I have the time and I hate waiting….I am not impatient just love to play!!!
I think i see a bug. at the right screen tou see TNT(s) at the top of the TNT is a rock ball. When the TNT explode the rock ball is flies up.when it go to the pig it actually going down without hit a rock (or wood)
Hi,
I have an htc EVO 4G and I can’t get the new summer Seasons update. I’ve tried all the suggestions above: WiFi is on, went to Amazon Appstore, it looked like I updated, don’t get prompted for a new update. Restarted my phone twice. Still can’t get the update, stuck in Easter.
Has anyone else had this issue or know how to solve it. VERY frustrating!
Thanks!!
Are you saying that Summer Pignic doesn’t even show as an episode? Just making sure I understand correctly. If that’s the case, you definitely should have an update (v1.5.0 at least) available in Amazon
Yes, the Summer Pignic doesn’t even show up as an episode and I’m still on version 1.4.0. Even after I went to Amazon and “bought” the updated version. I updated it on my Appstore application too and restarted the phone AGAIN. Still no luck. I didn’t have this much trouble getting past updates like Mine and Dine. Last ditch, I’m shutting off the phone completely.
P.S. Shutting the phone completely off for 2 minutes and restarting didn’t work either.
This is extraordinarily odd. Um, I’m not too familiar with Amazon AppStore, so let’s collaborate. Are you allowed to delete the Amazon app? If so, try deleting that, restart your phone, and install Amazon again. Perhaps it will help. Again, I’m just spitballing. Let me know.
I uninstalled Angry Birds Seasons and then reinstalled and that worked. The only bad thing is that I lost ALL my scores, stars and eggs!! I’m back at square one. Stupidly I uninstalled all my AB versions (regular and RIO) and now I’m back to zero on all the AB’s!
WAAAAA!!! But thanks for your help.
Do you have a backup in iTunes you can restore from?
There is a way to get all your scores back. Fugitoast knows how, ask him.
I don’t think there’s any way on Android…
Thanks, how do I contact Fugitoast? Is he a user or one of this sites developers? I’m praying there’s a way for Android, all my hard work gone! :-(
It’s a little late now, but, there is an Angry Birds Backup app available, for free, from Android Market. It saves your progress to an SD card.
I’m having the same problem with an HTC Desire. Getting an “insufficient space” error (not true, the SD card has 7Gb free!) I’m very reluctant to uninstall as I don’t want to lose my progress, but that’s the only thing I can think of to do…
Get the backup app, it works, trust me. It works on all 3 games. AngryBirdsBackup Free, publisher is Pierrick O’Murphy. Make sure you get that one.
thnx for the good tip.
I tried to use Titanium Backup Pro, but I suppose it doesn’t work that well.
I’ve always used Titanium Backup Pro for all versions of Angry Birds, and it worked like a charm!
Now I have the HTC Sensation and it isn’t rooted yet so I can’t use it. :-( Instead of moving my files to this phone, I decided to start all versions of AB from scratch. It was pretty awful when I had all my stars and eggs, so this is giving me a good AB fix!
I know that this doesn’t relate to the post but I am confused about something. Who created this site?
As far as I understand, that would be Bird Leader. AMslimfordy and Fujitoast are admins and support, it seems.
sonicking917 Thanks for stepping in and answering. That is true, but they are much more than just admins. They control a lot of what goes on on the site and ABN wouldn’t be the same without them. I’ll probably remove this post soon, as it’s completely off topic.
O.k thanks sonicking917. You have answered one of my many questions.
Ha, no problem. Nice to see every who runs this site seems to really care for it. :)
My summer pignic levels on my iPad do not work. It always gives a connection error. All my previous levels have no problems working and my Internet connection is alright. How to correct this?
I would restart your iPad and try again. Make sure you are connected to WiFi (3G should work with AT&T, but Verizon I think may have difficulty).
Game Center isn’t communicating with any of my AB apps. Any solutions?
It’s probably an issue with the Game Center servers. Just give it some time and try again.
Thank you, but I am still having issues. I am behind a proxy server. Would this be causing problems? The browser works fine with the proxy settings.
It could be. Are you able to connect without using the proxy server to see?
Even behind the proxy safari and app store are working fine. It is pignic and some other games like ninjump that do not seem to work. I dpi not have access to a “non-proxy” connection right now. Will try it somewhere else and report.
I finally gt tha ab seasons to wrk.. I hve an andriod platform phone and I had to disconnect my mobile service thn connect to wifi to gt it to work. Ab season finally opened up rght.
anybody else with an android phone having issues playing the new seasons update. It loads, goes to level 1 but then “crashes” and just goes back to my phone home screen (no that was not an ET reference…). Have NO idea what’s going on. Restarted phone as well….
Have you tried connecting to WiFi?
I did that & it worked after I turned off my phone internet & just had it connected to the wifi, but after I played level one & turned off the wifi it won’t let me play anymore levels on ab seasons summer pignics
You will need to be connected to WiFi to open any new levels. The app needs to download each new level’s .lua files.
I have the orginal angrybirds installed from the amazon appstore but I want to backup my files using a backup app from the android market. Will it be compatiable & be able to save my progress since the game isn’t installed from the same place the backup app is installed from.?
I installed AB Rio, from the Android Market, even though I originally installed it from the Amazon Appstore. I did that because the “May” update was visible sooner on the Market. The install worked perfectly and I didn’t lose any of my scores. In effect it “converted” the app from an Appstore app to a Market app. I would think original AB would work the same way.
so that means if i download the original angry birds from the android market it should over write the amazon app version of angry birds and i will still have all my progress still there?
That’s exactly the way it worked for me with AB Rio.
the didnt wrk. whn i downloaded it from the android market it said duplicate provider authority
The backup app I used works on both versions, for me.
I am getting the “duplicate provider authority” error as well. Any ideas how to get around it?
Can you provide more details?
Not many more details to provide. Every day, I get a notice from the Android Market that there is an update for “Angry Birds Seasons”. I touch “Update” and “Accept and Download”. It downloads the app (20.33 Mb) and then gives an error that says “Duplicate Provider Authority” and exits. Same thing happens the next day.
I also have Angry Birds and Angry Birds Rio installed (the former I got from the Android Market, the latter from Amazon Marketplace – I don’t remember where I originally got Angry Birds Seasons but I’m thinking Android Market as Rio was the first thing I downloaded from Amazon).
Is there a log file where I can look to find additional details beyond this?
If you go to the Amazon App Store App, does it prompt you to update Seasons?
Actually, I just checked and I did originally download ABS from Amazon AppStore. I suppose that’s the issue – that I downloaded it from Amazon and the update is coming from Android Marketplace. Seems stupid that the Marketplace would tell me I need an update to an app that didn’t originally come from them though.
The Amazon App Store does not say that this app has an update available.
Unfortunately, the Android Market keeps on nagging me about an update to an app that I a) can’t apply, and b) can’t tell it to ignore.
can anyone tell me when ANY update for ANY angry birds is coming for PC?
Rovio is no longer giving out info on releases. I can’t blame them, after watching their Twitter feed for some time. No one will ever be happy.
On the other hand, I understand the concern on Mac/PC. These devices are indeed overdue for AB original.
I agree, just because they finish 15-30 levels in an hour, they expect another update already… :(
Already have 3 stars on all levels!!!! Does anyone know what the next season will be? Maybe 4th of July?
Only through 8 of the 30 levels, so we have quite some time to go.
Since Summer Pignic will run until 21 July, we won’t be seeing 4th of July. Although I think the 13th level of Pignic (which releases on 4 July) will have some fireworks or Uncle Sam tophats or something.
Rovio hasn’t said what the next season will be.
I would like the next seasons to be New Years! I could totally see the king pig in a big Firework!
may i have a activision code
We are not affiliated with RovioMobile Ltd., however I wold encourage you to support the developer and purchase an activiation code from download.angrybirds.com.
Seems to be a cool version of Angry Birds. Thanks for share :)
Anyone getting an annoying McDonald’s video add popping up during the middle of playing? Kinda sucks since this suppose to be add free version.
I am not, what device are you playing on? Ad support Android?
FujiToast, he’s talking about the ad-free version, most likely purchased from the Amazon Appstore. I do know what EH is referring to, as it also happens to me on occasion, and I play on the Android based Motorola Xoom. I prchased all three versions of AB from amazon, because the main draw is ad-free v ad supported, so AB is uninterrupted or unclutterd with annoying ads.
I’m uncertain about its frquency of appearance for EH, and granted, even for me, it does happen often, so I consider it to be on an irregular basis, but when it does happen, usually duringcount up at the end of a level, the entire game is interrupted, a layer laid over it for the vid ad, and focus stolen from AB for the purpose of thie ad, and it usually takes two or three taps on the closing controls to get rid of it, and be back in the game.
Not cool for an app that was specifically designated as ad-free, but as I said, this occurs rarely enough that its only raised to the level of annoyance, not a major problem.
At least, that’s how it is for me. EH, let us know if what I described is similar to the behaviour you’re experiencing.
Wow, that sucks. Ad-free should be ad free.
Yep. Not all that difficult to figure out…
Android, Samsung Vibrant, off the Amazon App store. Truck Driver hit it on the nose. lol, I play for hours at a time, so I see it often.
Has anyone tried contacting Rovio? If not, we can try. I’m sure this is a bug.
In a day or two, I’m gonna copy all this into an email and send it to Rovio. I’m not gonna be a jerk about, and I don’t even need a special update for a fix for this. I’ve dealt with it this long, I can wait until the next scheduled update.
Will keep ABN posted…
That will be very helpful indeed. Agree, definitely don’t be a jerk, as they may not even be aware of the issue.
When I play, I start with the battery at full charge, play ’till it runs below 10%, plug in the 12v charger (I’m in a Freightliner, after all…), play ’till it reaches full charge, disconnect the charger and keep playing ’till I run the battery down again.
Usually, by this time one of two things will happen (and sometimes both…)
1. The Xoom gets far too hot to even touch (which really surprised me), and
2. I get so bleary-eyed, I have to get some sleep while the Xoom drops into sleep mode.
Call me a little bit obsessive…? I say u bet! But hey, I’ve got to get that stinkin’ third star don’t ya know…!! :-) :-)
I downloaded the Angry Birds Picnic and completed the first level with 3 stars. That was over a week ago and it will not let me go on to any other levels. whenever I try a new level it just kicks me out back to my home screen on my phone. I have a Samsung Galaxy S. Help Please. Thanks.
Are you connected to wi-fi? If so, try rebooting your phone to see if that fixes the issue.
Buy an iPhone.
In AB Original go to rovio news and one news update says to join the seasons summer daily level thing.
In the corner it says July 8th??? Anyone know what this is?
July 8 seems to be level 17
You can also see a rocket there. Maybe the angry birds will fly to the moon. That’s why there was a moon level (golden egg level). A countdown and a rocket would at least make sense. And the word “mission” as well.
But what will be on July 8th? Me personally I think then will be the next golden egg.
In the USA level 17 will be released on 7th July. But in Europe it will be on 8th July. Is Rovio a European or an American company?
Levels are released on the same day in Europe as most of the US (as far as California anyways). Rovio is based in Finland, so I think it will be Level 17
The rocket also gives a clue. If the first golden egg level is in space, and now there is a rocket, what could this possibly bring? Thoughts?
Anna pointed out that the final space shuttle launch is also on July, 8th. It will be interesting to see what they do.
I know what they did and it gave a new gameplay style to AB. I have noticed that when in space it is harder to kill pig then on the ground. Also it is harder to aim the birds and make them fly the way you want them to. Still very fun though.
i got the first golden egg… level three…. gives us the coolest golden egg level ever… its on the moon with no gravity!!!
Indeed, we’ve had a walkthrough up for awhile.
Anyone else noticed the Rovio news ad for a free tshirt?
yep. I saw it
I like how rovio made us play a level per day. If we just rushed to finish the game, I don’t think we would have found the golden egg on level 1-3 yet!
I am still having a problem with the pignic levels. I have a samsung galaxy S 2. When i try to play any level it just kicks me back to my home screen. I have tried all suggestions. Connected to Wi Fi, restart phone, I even uninstalled the angry birds seasons and re installed. Will not let me play any level in Pignic. Other seasons work fine.
Finally this update is available for Symbian!
So you guys now have the Mine & Dine and Summer Pignic update?
Yup!
I have a Question about the Itunes discription of a.b. seasons..
In the discription you can read this;
FEATURES 110 LEVELS!?!
There where 30 right?
Today is actually the 150th level I believe. 45 in ToT, 25 in Greedings, 18 in each HnK GGGL and Easter. And today is 26th Summer
in Itunes they have a story about summer pignic. and there they say that there are 110 in it!?!
