PC, Mobile: Angry Birds - Space
Yahoo! Games has revealed that Rovio will release Angry Birds Space for mobile devices on March 22!
In the fourth major release of the "Angry Birds" series, "you'll be lobbing birds on entirely new planets while contending with zero gravity, leading to new gameplay elements like slow-motion puzzles and "lightspeed" destruction. And just like with other Angry Birds games, expect those outer-space physics to be dead on."
The game will feature some completely new birds alongside some familiar ones, now sporting new super powers. The site adds that NASA and National Geographic will be the game's launch partners.

Angry Birds Space is a Stellar Game — Even for Angry Bird Haters [REVIEW]
Rovio released its highly-anticipated Angry Birds Space on Thursday — and its easily the most inventive game in the franchise yet.
I should add that I’m no fan of the original. Angry Birds never grabbed me; after a few levels the content felt recycled. As far as mobile puzzles go, there are many more challenging games.
But Angry Birds Space feels different in gameplay, if not in the premise. It sees the familiar bird crew shooting off to space to battle the pig enemy once again. The game presents the 60 levels a planets to explore and conquer as your rid the galaxy of swine-y scum. (It was very hard not to yell “PIGS IN SPACE!” while playing this game.)
But while the classic elements remain, to draw players familiar with the franchise, the levels turn many of the gameplay ideas on their ear. This title will have players recalling everything they learned in Physics class in high school to navigate the weightless and simulated gravity levels.
For one, shooting a bird off in the blackness means it has neither friction to slow it down, nor the forces of gravity to make it arch toward its target. Birds can also fly through the orbits of small planets, even circling them like a wayward satellite on a downward spiral.
Chain your orbits through the gravities of several small planets, and you’ve got a puzzle game that’s serious about its physics. It means more time spent thinking about how each shot will fly, and a visceral satisfaction when your birds hit their mark.
The game also brings modified versions of the classic birds, like a bomb bird with planetary rings. There are also two brand new birds: Ice Cube Bird, who freezes structures he smacks into, and Lazer, a bird with Geordi LaForge glasses, who can use a supersonic burst of speed to destroy everything in his path.
With 60 levels scattered across the four worlds, and hidden levels that are wacky parodies to space games, players have a lot of content to chew through on this independent release. One drawback for Android users is iOS versions of the game have an additional 30 levels; those are only available on Android phones made by Samsung.
The game ranges between 99 cents and $2.99, depending on your device. At those prices, its easily worth picking up. While longtime fans of the series have already probably downloaded the app, I would encourage new players to give it a shot. It’s definitely a little more challenging than the previous entrants to the series, and the space geekery and tricky physics make it worth the price.
Rovio also promises updates in the future, so you know you’ll get your money’s worth. iOs, Android, Mac and PC versions were all released Thursday.
