I was playing angry birds earlier today (the accordian golden egg level), and all of a sudden, the resolution of the game seemed to go from regular to the HD version on the iPad! Everything was zoomed out and really clear (the menus, the levels, everything). The graphics of the regular game's menus are not all that great especially on the retina display, but in this "mode," it looked really good on the retina display. I exited the game, and opened it back up, and surprisingly it was still there. I exited the game again when I finished playing, hoping it would stay like that when I reopened it, but now (a few hours later) its back to normal.... and I haven't been able to reproduce that since, and haven't been able to find any info on this thru a search. I wish I took a screenshot, but I didn't... Does anyone know of a way to do this?

This happened to me the other day as well, after installing the newest update. It went back to normal as soon as I started playing a level though.
 
Are you sure you didn't two finger pinch to zoom out?

Yeah, not because of that. And this was throughout the game, menus and all.

I have the latest update as well. I wish there was a way to keep that all the time, it looked a lot cleaner on the retina display... I suppose its some kind of glitch
