Good news for Windows Phone enthusiasts and fans of the Angry Birds franchise, as Rovio has announced that its original game is now available for download free of charge via Windows Phone Store.

Both Windows Phone 7 and 8 versions of the original Angry Birds can be downloaded for free until May 15. If you’re thinking of grabbing the game after mid-May, you will have to pay $1/ €1 for it.

According to Rovio, Angry Birds for Windows Phone comes with no less than 300 challenging levels. The highly acclaimed physics-based game has been updated several times since its launch and we expect that more content will be added in the not so distant future.

Angry Birds 3.1.0 is now available as a free download via Windows Phone Store and it should be fully compatible with all devices running Windows Phone 7.5 and up, including Windows Phone 8.
