The ‘Birds’
of Rovio have taken the battle with the egg-stealing pigs to another level.
This time, the battle is in space with ‘Angry Birds Space’. This is the Finnish
based gaming company’s latest installments which launched yesterday on iOS, Android, Mac and PC
platforms.
The game,
which has been launched in collaboration with US space agency NASA, is now
available for download. A video posted recently on NASA site showed flight engineer Don
Pettit explains the properties of physics in space by using Angry Birds
characters as props. At one point, Pettit fires a red bird down a space station
corridor using a makeshift slingshot.
Peter Vesterbacka, Rovio's chief marketing officer, said the company wanted to create something "unique" for the game launch.
"NASA has been the perfect partner for our Angry Birds Space program, and we can't wait to work with them on creating more compelling educational experiences," Vesterbacka said.
Rovio said Angry Birds Space features 60 initial levels, new characters and familiar gameplay but with a "unique twist in a variable gravity environment."
"From the weightlessness of space to the gravity wells of nearby planets, fans can have fun with physics as they try out new gameplay possibilities," he said.
"The Angry Birds themselves have also transformed into superheroes, with new costumes and abilities."
The space station video is available at nasa.gov and angrybirds.com/space.
