Angry Birds Friends (for Android)

Angry Birds Friends is the most social entry in the franchise, which lets you pit your scores in weekly tournaments against your friends connected via Facebook. An initial tutorial mode is required, which then turns into Powerups Practice.

Six levels become available each week. As you vie for the top, the panel on the right will display who is winning. All scores are added up together and the tournament finishes at the end of the week.

The gameplay is the same as the older Angry Birds titles. There are no new birds, but since new levels come in each week, the gameplay feels a little refreshed. There are also powerups available to use during stages.

You can increase the power of the next bird, add an aiming scope, or cause an earthquake. If you fail the mission, you won't get the usables back. You can replenish your stock with the in-game coins.

You can summon WIngman, a bigger bird, every time you play a stage. Getting good scores becomes too reliant on using powerups, for which you won't have enough coins unless your friends gift you generously or if you buy coins with real money.
