Summer Pignic is the sixth episode of Angry Birds Seasons. A summer-based chapter set in the Golden Fields, it was first announced on the series' Facebook page; and on June 20, their Facebook profile picture announced the name. The episode was released at the beginning of the Summer Solstice on June 21, 2011, featuring 30 levels. Unusually for a non-Christmas episode in Seasons, each level is unlocked in an Advent-calendar fashion, and does not require the levels to be completed in order to access the others. Level 17 is set on the Moon, with low gravity physics, a few days ahead of the 42nd anniversary of Apollo 11.
Storyline[]
The following is from The World of Angry Birds Official Guide, as told by the Mighty Eagle:
MAD HOGS GO OUT IN THE MIDDAY SUN
With the sun beating down, the birds thought they were safe on the grassy plains near the Golden Fields. Surely it was too hot for the pigs to go egg hunting? Wrong. King Pig doesn't care if his Minions sizzle in the sun. Distracted by a kite flying across the sky, Chuck took his eyes off the nest for a second and, well, you can guess what happened next.
New Features[]
- This season features many new food items like watermelons, donuts, bananas, etc.
- Pigs now wear new clothes like summer hats, safari hats, etc.
