Well, the flurry of Angry Birds updates continues, as Angry Birds Seasons gets eight new levels and Power-ups. This update, which takes us to v3.2.0 is out for iOS, Mac, PC, and Android via Google Play and the Amazon Appstore, with more platforms coming soon! Read on for more info about the new levels and the all new Homing Bird Power-Up.
This update includes:
- 8 new bonus levels similar to what you’ve seen in Rio. There are four new bonus levels in Winter Wonderham and four in Haunted Hogs. Three of the bonus levels are unlocked by earning stars and one by earning feathers. It takes 10 feathers to unlock the Mighty Eagle bonus level. (Note: Feather bonus levels not available for PC or Mac.)
- Haunted Hogs star bonus levels unlock as follows: 30 stars for level one, 50 level two, and 70 for level three
- Winter Wonderham star bonus levels unlock as follows: 25 stars for level one, 40 for level two, and 60 for level three
- Power-ups have landed in Seasons (iOS/Android only). I’m not going to sugarcoat it, I know many of you will be extremely disappointed in this. Rest assured though, our leaderboards will continue to maintain a strict no Power-up policy. Three Power-ups have been added: Sling Scope, Super Seeds, and a brand new one called, “Homing Bird”, which is shown in the video above.
- All new Homing Bird Power-up! Per Rovio, “This hog-seeking hero will head with missile force for the first pig ot his radar!”
- Mighty Eagle now available for Android via Google Play! Android users rejoice, the famed Mighty Eagle is now available for Android as an in-app purchase. The model hasn’t changed either, as it’s buy once, unlimited use. Definitely a great value. Thanks for the tip @sparty83.
- No new achievements
- No distinction on Power-Up scores, unfortunately. Therefore, please DO NOT enter Power Up scores on our leaderboards at this time.

Wow, so many updates and so little time :)
lol yeah, lot’s of updates:P Couldn’t care less about those power ups though, they just take the fun out of the game and feel like Rovio is trying to scratch together even more money…
Yea, are they wanting to be superior to other gaming companies like Sony? Nintendo?
At least Seasons went with the ABo model regarding power ups. They can be disabled. That leaves ABSW the only version without them. I wonder how long that will last??
They can be disabled?! How? I hate them on my screen. I often hit the button on accident.
I have disabled power-ups once by accident on ABO, but disabling power-ups also applies in Seasons. On the splash screen, tap on for settings icon (the gear icon), and then tap for the lighting icon turn off power-ups.
Again, this only applies to ABO and Seasons. I’ve checked out Rio and Space, but there seems to be no way to turn power-ups offs in those two as they do not have the lightning icon on the splash page’s settings pane.
Thank you! I never knew that option was available, and that’s much better!
That begs the question of why power ups are handled differently in Space/Rio than they are in ABo/Seasons. Something to post on Rovio’s twitter feed.
As there are power-ups in this update,So Angry Birds Seasons 3.2 will not come to pc . Will it ?
We don’t have this information.
Oh, not another one! That makes 3 updates in less than 1 week. How I am I supposed to keep my head above water with all these levels!
I think it’s awesome! Keep the updates and new levels coming Rovio!
This is awesome. It feels like Christmas all over again with all the updates. LOVE it!!! I cant wait to download the newesy game…the Croods.
Keep up the great work Rovio!
It’s been available for download since yesterday!
@amslimfordy, The Mighty Eagle is now available in Seasons for Andriod. $.99 one time purchase. Works just like in the other versions.
@sparty83 and @amslimfordy – the mighty eagle was already availble after I updated. I did not have to purchase. I used the ME numerous times on the levels that i already completed. I did use the mighty eagle 3 times on a level that i couldnt beat and it locked me out for 1 hour.
Thanks @sparty83. Adding it to the post.
Your quite welcome, but now I have another 377 levels to get the feather in. Man am I going to be busy for awhile.
How do you think I feel, @sparty83;) I just started to replay Rio after MM update, and have decided to go for all feathers on there aswell, so thats what, 600+ feathers to earn, wonder if you can get the feathers for YotD, probably not??? The new power-up looks great, shame I restrict my self from using them, as I have some superstitious/OCD thingy against wasting them for some reason, even on Space:P
@angermanagement, I forgot about Year of the Dragon. I just checked it. I had already gotten the Mighty Dragons for those levels and the Mighty Eagle is not available for them. Whew, 15 fewer levels to feather.
Good luck getting all of yours.
Right back at you, @sparty83:D
@sparty83 as I wrote yesterday I wasn’t asked to confirm IAP when I wanted to activate ME and as it seems I got it free. I checked my google wallet and it isn’t charged for 0.99$ form Rovio Mobile Co.
I just try tap on eagle, can use without pay it, free for me.
Hey! Just in time, I just finished three starring the Rio update.
The new levels are fun – and you’re score will suffer if you don’t update and play them, since I’m assuming they’ll be part of the leaderboards.
I’m glad they have ME on android now. I didn’t know that it wasn’t on seasons for android until now. And what exactly does homing bird do? How do you know where it hits, or rather, can you control where it hits?
it is a radar, and the power is activated as soon as he sees a pig
After he sees a pig, he smash to the pig like a missle
Unfortunately not distinction between “clean” and “power ups” scores but to be honest I even didn’t expect such thing would happen. I updated it on both devices and love the fact that ME is available for Android but as I noticed there are still no possibility to purchase add free version (as in ABO and ABR). However something pretty uncommon happened to me today when I wanted to buy ME, I tapped ME icon and was only asked if I want to use Internet or Google Play, I chose Google Play and ME showed on my device without asking to enter my password and confirm purchase.
Weird. I tried to test it (not buy it) and the comfirmation (to choose GPlay or internet) wasn’t showed up
Just as an added update. As some of you know, there are 4 bonus Intel levels on the Android platform. They are like other bonus levels in that you can not get a feather for them.
Just remember, the main point of these updates are so the games will all be ready to play Angry Birds Toons on the weekend. It looks like as long as it has the tiny Rovio “R” in the icon, it is updated and ready to go.
I am guessing that Star Wars will get an update tomorrow. Sadly, it looks like Amazing Alex and Bad Piggies will not be able to play the AB Toons episodes yet.
Star Wars already got an update this week (v. 1.1.3).
I’m surprised Bad Piggies won’t be showing AB Toons, since they’re going to get their own episodes, but Amazing Alex would be a bit random for AB Toons.
It’s so disipointing that Rovio couldn’t keep seasons PU free. It’s clear they don’t care about us how put in a 10 000h of time perfect our scores. When PUs become part of the other games inte series I turned my focus to Seasons. Now I clearly have to reconsider my time spent and commitment to this game. Shame on you Rovio, you could have done this so much better and even got us score addicts to love PUs but you choose not listen to us. (Yes, we did write to you but after awhile you stopped to awnser) I hope I’m not the only one still having this view.
I’m talking with them further on Twitter and elsewhere.
I just need to get this out of my system. I feel that the debate has faded and the big shooters has left the game and the communites. I don’t want to go the same way.
Trust me, I understand. While I try to defend Rovio most of the time, I am as … “disappointed”.
I don’t care about power-ups any more. I just don’t use them.
Those who want a separate leader board for PU-scores: what sense would it make? We saw in AB Space that it is useless.
People who don’t use power-ups don’t need a separate leader board. And people who use power-ups to pass some difficult levels don’ t need a separate leader board either. So who actually needs a separate leader board?
So Rovio {messed} up the last angry birds game with PUs. It’s like watching tour de france: it still looks the same, but you know it’s not a real competition any more. The problem with those power ups is: the more money you put in, the more chances of high scores you get. didn’t know Rovio was that capitalistic. In the last months I really loved playing Seasons, visiting those old worlds again, increasing my high scores. Now there is this… emptiness.
You still got our boards :/
Yep – btw you do great work with this website! let’s hope Rovio listens to all those angry birds players and introduces a split score system or sth like that.
I’m having an active conversation with them. I’m not at liberty to divulge anything at this time, but trust that I am keeping the welfare and sanity of committed veterans at the top of my list. I hope that, collaboratively, a solution acceptable to all parties can be coded.
I can attest that Slim is in dialog with them as I follow him on Twitter. He’s trying. Cuz he’s awesooome! *said in singy voice like the Geico slinky commercial*
Best of luck to you @amslimfordy on your conversation, and thanks for trying.
But just as @ernor63 said, this is beyond depressing after spending so many hours climbing the leaderboards to see them destroy everything so fast.
The saddest thing to me was that I thought they actually cared about their hardcore dedicated players. It’s so heartbreaking that I don’t think I’ll be able to play anymore after this update.
@ernor63 my the best respect to one of the grandest player in the world. You are still at very top peak of Parnassum and no money and power ups could steal it from you.
@cosmo2503, I had to Google on Parnassum :) Thanks for the compliment, Still much to say about this matter but leaderboards have diminished in value as PU can be used on old levels. My focus is on trying to beat the levels in new ways instead. Unfortunatly a trend has emerged that new levels are to designed to play in a certen way. Yes sure I’m old and I’m conservative but I think I have a point. I’ll try to keep the debate going as long as I’m still flinging birds.
@ernor63 @amslimfordy I have held back on commenting on the power-up situation as it only angers me more when thinking about the reality of it all. Rovio crossed the line when they added PU’s to ABO and a great deal of members on this site and elsewhere voiced their displeasure, be it on ABN, Rovio’s site, or various forums. They heard the complaints then and responded with nothing more than form letters. I felt betrayed and angry, but was pleased to hear ABN was speaking to them about the PU’s and leader boards on the behalf of all of us. Still nothing was resolved.
Then they added PU’s to AB Space, I personally don’t play it but was happy to read on ABN the inclusion of separate leader boards. It seemed only logical that come the next update to ABO we could expect to see the separation as well, we all know that did not happen.
Now they have added PU’s to Seasons in the same manner in which they did to ABO. Two plus years invested in something and the company that makes the game changes the rules. This can only be seen as malice as they were/are well aware of how their most loyal followers feel about power-ups.
I hold out zero faith that they will correct this. I understand @amslimfordy that you are in conversations with them but it is the same one you have been having since they introduced them in ABO. It might feel like you are making strides with them but I assure you they are only patronizing all of us.
I am not posting with the intention of creating a debate or dialogue on the subject. But same as @ernor63 said above, I needed to get this out if my system. I think it’s the least we all deserve as members of a site who’s purpose is to promote a company/brand that clearly has little regard for anything other than the almighty euro.
I completely understand your point. Again, I can’t delve into specifics at this time, but there does seem to be (1) some confusion about the initial conversation and (2) some progress being made.
@AMslimfordy Unfortunately, not all ABN players seem to feel the same way about PUs. Despite your red SQUAWK at the start of leader board entries, it is obvious that players are entering PU scores here at ABN. I have played the new bonus levels exclusively since their release (and am third on the leader board behind ernor63 and Donnmega, a place I am very proud to have achieved, chasing those two awesome ABS players). Yet my ranking overall for ABS has slipped from 50th to 66th place. Having amassed over 1m points on the bonus levels, there must be PU scores input, for such a drastic drop in ranking. Not blaming you or the excellent ABN site, just feeling disappointed like everyone else that this is no longer a level playing field.
@Hunnybunny, I believe you are right. This is like doping in sports. Everyone say their are against but yet we know there still are a lot of cheeters out there. Since PU became part of this I’ve try to ignore leaderboards (I’ve not even checked my AB Classic GC rank since then). I’ve said above that leaderboards have dimished in value and we all seen it even before PU on GC. You give evidence from you’re view and perspective on ABN’s and I’ve seen suspicius moves elsewhere.
I’m in a fortunate position to not have to prove my abilities but there are upcoming new top shoters that will be questioned. (I had my share before PU’s) so I can still find other personal challanges rather than my rank on leaderboards. I’ve seen your great scores on the bonus levels and hope you can find other things to motive you than rank on leaderboards.
Well @ernor63 I’ll just have to chase the awesome scores that you, Donnmega, and others that I trust have achieved. I remember the thrill of passing Slim on one of the leader boards. Just wish I’d discovered AB when they first came out, rather than trying to catch up after all this time. So back to bonus levels where I feel I’m playing on the level field at the moment
I do not think that there are a large number of power up scores showing up on the leaderboards here. I have been tracking the average scores for each episode of all the AB games since August, and have not seen any significant upward movement in any of the games since the power ups were added. What I do see, is that each time a new update comes out, ABN adds a new group of users for that game, who may have been unaware of this site previously. This new population seems to have some high scoring individuals, and some regular folk, but overall they do not cause the episode average to move much , if at all, so I guess they represent a pretty good cross section of all players dedicated enough to post their score to an online leaderboard.
I monitor the flagging admin typically daily. You are welcome to flag any scores you find suspicious and I can investigate.
They need to change where they have the Power Up store icons and where the bonus levels are. It makes the screen look really squished.
Well, came in late to killing the horrid, green, snarling, smirking piggies, and in six months got to 105 on Rovio leader board. Take off the hackers, about 84. Am 11, I think on the golden egg leader board – chasing you jaberou – but am appalled at this power up stuff. Why not keep it clean, as it started?
It was was hard enough competing against those with Santa hat glitches, et al, and now this. May get my life back again

Forgot to say Seasons pu
I don’t like the new play button. The old one looked better.
May have simply been an oversight. Lets see what happens with the next full update. I also prefer the “themed” PLAY button.
Exactly! @amslimfordy That was the first thing I tweeted out to them, that I was sad about the themed play buttons gone in AB Seasons… and all they replied with was
“But soon you will have the Toons icon there!”
I’m still not convinced… I don’t get why they’re *ruining* some of their apps… Even the new AB Space theme was a let down..
Only thing I’m actually pleased with is Rio. I literally used to hate AB Rio, never really found it fun to play.. but this is the first time that I actually liked the update.
But the size is the same as in AB original. I guess it’s exactly the size they wanted.
Why are the icons disappearing when I update the apps on Ipad? Rio and Seasons are just plain white boxes after this week’s updates!
It seems to be an issue with iOS 5.x. Rovio is aware.
Extremely disappointed? No. I like it! You know I have lots of trouble beating some of the games levels. These power ups will actually help me.
Nice little update despite the hated power ups! I just finished 3-starring and feathering these. Now back to finish Market Mayhem and getting the last few feathers on Bad Piggies (AB episode).
New update when I’m in school? At least it’s Thursday for my country.
New update while I’m in mid-semester test :P, but still playing AB to refresh my mind :)
Ohh btw, can anybody please tell me what the “disable notifications” button does (for android)? Didn’t notice any difference with it enabled and disabled…
I ask this when Rio update comes out, but i figured it several days ago. that button is to disable this
ohhh, so we should just keep it on disabled, right?
What would be an interesting question is if Rovio is labeling scores when PUs are used (and keeping older versions as well). If not, then tough luck, there cannot be distinction between those two any more now that they launched them, even if the whole nest becomes black and white.
In the best case they would need to treat all scores so far as without PUs and start monitoring them from that point on which of course will let many fake scores show up (and if you are ok with that then you might as well be with having no distinction at all).
On the other hand, if they can distinguish the scores (in retrospect) but just decided not to show it (as they did in Space) then I guess there might be some hope after all.
When Power Ups were first released in ABo, BOTH scores were held separately. I haven’t tried with the newer releases but I plan to in the next few days.
So this is very encouraging! :) Thanks @amslimfordy!
With this update the Mighty Eagle is now available in ALL Angry Birds games for Android users. Finally. It’s great news. The power-up thing on the other hand…
Any thoughts on if the bonus levels will be expanded to earlier episodes of Seasons?
Glad to see the addition of 8 levels to WW and HH in Seasons. Always exciting to get new AB games and levels. I enjoy playing the AB games for the sake of playing and improving my previous score. My expectations may be lower than others because if I finish above average on the Nest’s leader boards then that is fine.
When the PUs came out in the AB-O game, I played each PU once to see how they worked. That was it.
I keep playing and posting scores on ABN because the staff says they are monitoring for the PU’s higher scores and trying to make it fair. I believe and have faith in their efforts. At least there is more credibility in the ABN Leader Boards than those of Game Center because of the hackers.
What might be interesting for future consideration is to have two ABN leader boards, one for PUs and one for non PUs. For those who enjoy and want to compete with PUs go for it. For those who do not, nothing really changes.
I am curious as to why there was never a seasons update for Valentine’s day or St.Patrick’s day? Hope there will be one for Easter!
I don’t think so. I think Halloween and Christmas will repeat annually, but otherwise I think Rovio likes to mix it up.
Update available on the Amazon Appstore. ME is available to purchase, along with the power-ups. The 8 new levels are also available in Winter Wonderham and Haunted Hogs episodes. But the power-ups on my device are located in the bottom-left corner.
Don’t know if it is for all AB games, but in ABO it is possible to make a Rovio Account to sync your progress to al your devices! :D The buton is next to the Shop button.
The button is new and do far only on AB original.
Yes, it just appear now on my device after I connect to internet.
Register to save score, stars and feathers and continue on another device!
I signed in, but when I’m signed in, all my data is lost. When I sign out, my data is back. How can I save my data so that I have it when I’m signed in?
Star wars v 1.1.4 out. First Angry Birds app to get the toons button. Hmm.
I have it on ABSW version 1.1.3. The iOS app store says all my apps are up to date. This leads me to conclude that the Toons link is “pushed” data rather than a true program revision/update.
Angry Birds Star Wars was the only app of mine to update. Straight after the update the toons button was there. The other apps just got the “pushed” data. Also, if you watch the bad piggies video on YouTube, at the end, the pig is holding a sign that says buy now. On the toons version, it’s just a snout. Anyone know why?
Ok, so I’ve been following their tweets everyday, and some people have been asking why they didn’t have an St Patrick’s or Easter updates, to which they replied “Just wait and see :)”
That means we should be expecting an update in the next week or two… maybe even this Thursday! (Though I may be getting my hopes a little too high :p)
Sounds weird that Rovio first gives us power-ups and then two weeks after, a new episode. But you never know :)
