Rovio's Angry Birds are not only irate, they're also scary with the Thursday release of a special Halloween edition of the popular game.
The Halloween version is sold separately from the classic game, and it's available in Apple's App Store for $0.99, exclusively for the iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch. An HD iPad version sells for $1.99.
The game features 45 new levels, which is three times more than the usual updates, according to Rovio. There are seven birds in a haunted montage, complete with spooky music, ghosts, ghoblins, and ghouls, and pumpkins waiting to be smashed alongside the standard green pigs.
"Every aspect of the game has been recreated in the spirit of Halloween, so expect new spooky theme music, hair-raising graphical themes, and puzzling pumpkin-smashing action," Rovio said.
Angry Birds is an addictive game where players slingshot flightless birds into towers, and it's been insanely popular. In Apple's App Store it was the number one download for several months, downloaded more than six million times.
Angry Birds has continued to make headlines this week, when the game's publisher, Chillingo, was acquired by Electronic Arts (EA). This merger left questions about the future of Angry Birds, but Rovio insisted in a statement that it owned the rights to the game.
