A new bird! The newest cast member to the wildly popular game starts out small, but looks can be very deceiving, warns the makers of the game, and keepers of the birds.

Ham’o’ween for Angry Birds features thirty levels filled with pumpkin patches,  jack-o-lanterns, and skeletons, lit by a full moon and eerie lantern light. The game is currently available for iOS and Android. No, we do not know when you can save your eggs Halloween style at a browser near you.
