It lets you target specific locations, and is invaluable when it comes to working around gravity’s pull. After you launch the triangular purple bird, you can tap any location on the screen to send him on a collision course towards your finger.
#ANGRY BIRDS SPACE 2 23 FULL#
The second new bird gives you nearly full control over the flight path. The first one explodes and turns everything around it into weakened ice, but the other new addition is even better.

Most of the birds are carried over from previous games (or familiar but modified), though two new types join the cast. It was exciting, but coincidental I didn’t feel as though I had any control when this sort of thing happened. I had a few occasions where my bird would do a few rounds flying around a planet before it finally hit the pig it was going after. These new mechanics mean that luck plays a larger role in Angry Birds Space. Launching your birds into the black void is an awesome feeling, as is watching them get pulled into a planet’s orbit and striking down the poorly assembled pig structures. Sometimes you use the gravitational pull of small planets to help slingshot birds towards their destination, reminiscent of the gravity shenanigans featured in Super Mario Galaxy. You launch assorted birds at sleeping pigs in questionable structures, with and without the aid of gravity. Instead, the developer released a game that feels like a true sequel to the physics-based title that has helped define modern mobile gaming.Īngry Birds Space, as the name so expertly clarifies, takes place in space.

As long as the structures holding the pigs were new and the art was different, Rovio would have still sold plenty. Angry Birds Space could have easily been a slightly modified version of the game we already know and love.
