Angry Birds Rio Updated with Beach Volley Levels

As announced last week, Rovio released today an update to the movie tie-in Angry Birds Rio featuring new beach volley-themed levels. The beach volley update adds a whole new gameplay to the existing Rio levels, as well as new sounds and golden fruit.

The update is available now on the App Store, and as usual there’s plenty of choice: you can download the lite versions for iPhone and iPad here and here, or go with the full version for iPhone ($0.99) or iPad ($2.99). If you don’t feel like playing another Angry Birds title on your mobile devices, you might have heard the news Rovio released the original game for the Chrome browser, although the experiment requires Flash.

Check out the original trailer for the beach volley update below.
