Blast off into the final frontier with your favorite avian avengers! The Angry Birds are back, and this time even the Earth can't contain their fury.
Angry Birds Space, the all-new adventure from Rovio, takes you to straight to the cosmos, where the feathers continue to fly. This time, the familiar physics-based gameplay of the original Angry Birds games comes with a NASA-style twist: the birds' slingshot trajectories are affected by different gravitational fields as they navigate planets, black holes, stars, and more.
Angry Birds Space features 60 interstellar levels on celestial bodies and in zero gravity, resulting in spectacular gameplay ranging from slow-motion puzzles to lightspeed destruction. With regular free updates, brand-new birds, brand-new super powers, and a whole galaxy to explore, the sky is no longer the limit!

Where No Angry Bird Has Gone Before

The Angry Birds have achieved a lot in the last two years, but apparently peace on Earth wasn't good enough. The evil pigs have taken the fight to outer space, and the Angry Birds are right on their curly tails.
After a giant claw kidnaps their eggs, the Angry Birds chase it into a wormhole and find themselves floating in a strange new galaxy--surrounded by space pigs. Luckily for our feathered friends, a funny thing happened when the Angry Birds passed through this cosmic portal: they emerged with amazing super powers of their own.
Now the birds and pigs are locked in a fierce intergalactic battle, fighting on and above rocky asteroids, icy planets, forbidding black holes, and much more. The Angry Birds have brought along their handy, enormous slingshot, of course; but the outer-space environment creates new, unpredictable flight conditions. No longer can they just rear back, fire, and hope for the best.

Science: Surprisingly Useful

Battle evil pigs on small, rocky asteroids...

It's your job to help the Angry Birds cope with these cosmic forces. The trick is to consider the gravitational pull of any celestial body that a bird passes. If you aim too close to a planet, you're pulled into its orbit and it will fling you elsewhere. You can use this orbital boost to your advantage, too, but be careful--if you don't aim close enough, you'll miss the orbit entirely and your bird will float off to a lonely destiny in deep space.
Still, Angry Birds have no fear, and neither should you. As you aim, helpful tracer lines reveal your projected path, so you'll learn quickly. From there, it's classic Angry Birds slingshot fun: slide your finger on the screen and let go to pull back and fling your avian friends. Tap the screen mid-flight to unleash a bird's special ability. Pinch to zoom in and out of the environments, and drag your finger to view different parts of each stage.

Boom Goes the (Cosmic) Dynamite

Use the birds and their powers to break through piles of space junk that the pigs use for protection. Crates, boards, stone, glass, TNT--even space bubbles, icy spheres, and the occasional rocket ship--are no match for an accurate shot with the right bird. As you progress through the game, you'll face plenty of unique challenges and super villains (including the menacing Space King, who pilots a flying saucer fixed with a big claw--perfect for snatching eggs).
You'll also notice amazingly detailed scenes and evocative music. The game features lush colors, startlingly beautiful cosmic scenes, and NASA-approved renditions of actual space physics. Cinematic music takes each scene to a higher level of fun and intensity, as dramatic orchestral swells vie with audio elements inspired by sci-fi TV shows.

 Bonus Content

As with previous Angry Birds games, Angry Birds Space offers a plethora of cool bonus content waiting to be unlocked. Here, as you unlock shiny Eggsteroids, you'll find bonus levels that pay homage to classic video games of the past.

Play hard, unlock new levels, and see what delightful interpretations of well-known video games await. All of them integrate Angry Birds characters into the gameplay, of course, for a surprising and fun fusion of old-school and new-generation gaming!

From Game to Phenomenon: The Rovio Story

The road to Angry Birds began in 2003, when three Finnish students entered a mobile-game development competition. Their game, King of the Cabbage World, was the first real-time, multiplayer game for mobile phones. The trio soon formed what would become Rovio.
Angry Birds was released in December 2009, after the iPhone and just as the Android universe started to explode. The game achieved unprecedented success: to date, the game and its sequels have generated more than 700 million downloads, as well as a firm foothold in popular culture.
