Cherry Blossom: The Angry Birds Seasons guide to Japanese Hanami

Can't get enough Angry Birds? Wish you could hurl disgruntled fowl at thieving piggies while simultaneously celebrating international holidays?

Well you're in luck, because Rovio Mobile has bundled the iconic images of numerous yearly hols - from Halloween to Christmas - into a bonus batch of Angry Birds levels.

The latest update celebrates the flower-focused holiday of Hanami, a traditional Japanese custom dedicated to enjoying cherry blossoms.

You'll get to admire those beautiful flowers, while caving a pig's head in with a block of concrete, as Rovio has served up a fresh batch of 15 levels (plus two bonus stages).

You can get some basic tips for Angry Birds Seasons here.

Knowing exactly where to place a bird, or which TNT boxes to weed out, or which order to take out the pigs, is no easy task. Luckily, there are some ninja-like 'Birds fans who know the secrets to getting three stars.

If you're stuck on a particularly tough stage, just watch the pros in action at the link below.

There's only one Golden Egg to hunt down in Cherry Blossom. It's in the final stage, though, so you'll need to work hard to get it. Once it's yours, an egg will appear on the screen to the right of this season's level list. Tap it to play a fun bonus level.

To see the Golden Egg, zoom out by making a reverse pinching gesture. You'll see the shiny beauty on a platform, high above the battlefield.

First up, get rid of your red bird by firing it backwards off the side of the screen. Then fire a black bomb bird towards the top stack of TNT. Tap the screen just before they collide to make a big explosion that will send the pile of rocks flying.

Hopefully, one of the little rocks will strike the egg. Sadly, it's almost impossible to do it on cue. It's just a case of starting again and again until you get lucky.

Golden Egg 2

To get this egg, you'll need to earn three stars on all stages in the Cherry Blossom theme for Angry Birds Seasons. Good luck!
