Angry Birds Space 2012

Is it still worth playing?

A puzzle game developed and published by Rovio Entertainment in 2012, the fifth in the Angry Birds series and the first set in outer space, released on March 22, 2012 for several mobile devices. As before, you use a slingshot on the touchscreen to launch birds at the green pigs in structures, but small planets now pull the birds with gravity, and you can use it to slingshot them toward targets. Most birds come from earlier games with changes, and there are new ones: the Ice Bird, which turns nearby blocks and pigs into weakened ice, and a triangular purple bird you can steer by tapping the screen after launch. The first download has two episodes of 30 levels each, and hidden eggs lead to black hole bonus levels inspired by Breakout and Space Invaders. Planets that bend each shot still give old rules a fresh angle.
