130M downloads on, Angry Birds Go now lets you play against friends on the same Wi-Fi network

Almost 18 months after Rovio unleashed Angry Birds Go on the mobile masses, the Finnish games giant has revealed a new local multipayer mode that lets you pit your wits against friends.

Angry Birds Go — a Super Mario Kart-style racing game — has largely been met with positive reviews since launch. Indeed, the company has also revealed today that the app has been downloaded more than 130 million times, though this of course doesn’t indicate active, regular gameplay. And it doesn’t account for subsequent uninstalls, either.
