Angry Birds released into space

Angry Birds fans craving a fresh fix of Rovio's game franchise can breathe a sigh of relief: the latest instalment, Angry Birds Space, has now been launched on several devices.

The new game is available for iPhone and in a separate HD version for iPad, costing S$0.99 and S$2.99 respectively.

An Android version is also now live as a free download and in-game advertisements, while Rovio is selling a PC version from its own online shop, and a Mac version in Apple's Mac Store. Ad-free versions of the Android game will follow.


While the core formula of catapulting birds at pigs remains intact, Angry Birds Space adds new gameplay elements including gravitational fields, and new birds with their own destructive capabilities.

There is also a new power-up - Space Eagles - which can be earned by playing or bought as an in-app purchase. 60 levels are included in the initial game, but more will be added as free updates and in-app purchases.

"This launch marks a huge step for us as a company, and our whole team and partners have really pulled together to bring out a fantastic array of exciting products and experiences," says chief executive Mikael Hed in a statement. "We hope that our fans will find all things Angry Birds Space as delightful as the Rovio family does."
