Rovio has leaked a bit of info on what might be the next Angry Birds Space update. According to a blog post this morning, “Fry Me to the Moon” will be the next planet released for Angry Birds Space! Rovio also provided AngryBirdsNest with a couple exclusive images, which you can see below (the image with “Level 1” in the name and the one of what looks to be a half eaten moon). The level with the Space Needle was leaked last week.
Details are sparse at the moment and the planet’s name is subject to change, but we do know that “Fry Me to the Moon” will be a free planet, not an in-app purchase. That said, we have many questions, and do not know whether they will be addressed in this update or not. But nonetheless some of those questions are:
- Will there be any tweaks to the Space Eagle? Please, no posting your opinions on the Space Eagle here, as there is a dedicated thread in the forum for that.
- What is the significance of the “Moon” image they gave us? We’re told it gives us an idea of the “planet’s theme”, but does it have significance beyond the title? Did the “Fat Pig” get hungry? I guess we will see.
- Will the majority of bugs be fixed in this update?
- When will this update land and on what platforms?
Enter the Contest to Name the Fourth Angry Birds Space Planet
Now’s your chance! Rovio is running a contest to name the fourth planet, and all are welcome to participate. If you want to submit your planet name to Rovio, you can either tweet @AngryBirds on Twitter, using the hashtag #AngryBirdsComp, or email [email protected]. Five lucky contestants will receive a special prize, which seems to be a super mysterious Space Box (see the one that smashed BirdLeader’s driveway in this post and my Super Red Bird learning about p-adic numbers in this comment). And one of these five will receive a one-of-a-kind autographed piece of Angry Birds Space art! If you want to participate, you must submit by 3pm GMT on 11 April, with winners being announced within 24 hours of that deadline. Please read Rovio’s disclaimer in their article before submitting.
Update: The competition has ended and you can see the full list of winners in Rovio’s blog. A huge congratulations for our very own Laurence for being a notable Runner-Up with his entry, “Hamosphere”! Outstanding!!

Do you have to be 18+ to enter the contest?
I didn’t see any age listed in the blog at first glance, but you should quickly take a look yourself in case I missed it.
There’s no solid method of tracking someone’s age on twitter, so I expect there’s no age limit…
But I’m not very interested, though, but i think ‘Hot Pork’ would be a good one (it will take place on highly volcanic planets).
Wouldn’t that be “BBQ’d Pork?”
I couldn’t find one either and so I asked Rovio. I will let you know if they get back to me.
In the US, state law governs how old a person can be to enter a contest. It’s usually the same age required to enter into a contract, and since they requested the rights to all submissions, then that’s a contract… Which they can’t do with minors. (I’m a lawyer as well as a physicist (patent)).
Being a Finland company they may have overlooked this.
Good point.
But that still gets me nowhere, because where i live, Dutch laws apply…
And i have no idea what those laws are, let alone if there’s even a law about this.
Get your mum/dad/aunt/uncle/older sibling/legal guardian/etc to enter on your behalf.
I see nothing worse about this update :)!
In the Daily guide to AB space, they mention the fat pig searching the galaxy for something *i forgot* to sustain him. 20 bucks he ate that planet and he’s gonna be a sub-boss for us, because we got a teaser of him in the icon for the second world. Maybe he ate his was out…
Maybe the cause of that half-eaten moon was because it was eaten by the fat pig hahaha!
Slim, can chrome add surf and turf, rio and space levels?
No, I don’t think that will happen. Otherwise no one will purchase content.
But Surf and Turf is free on facebook so you don’t have to purchase it.Exept on ABo
ABo episodes have appeared on web apps, as have some episodes of Seasons. But in general, no one should expect any particular episodes of any apps to appear on a web app.
I dont have a facebook and my parents wont let me have one
What about Chrome and its free ABo levels & ABse levels?
hey peoples! just got ab space on kindle fire! i’m already on cold cuts(the boss battle for the first one was fun).
I can’t wait for this! I’m pretty sure that the Fat Pig got hungry….
Why is everything so quiet since April 5.Are there no new news.
yeah i was wondering the same thing…Kindle fire still no Danger Zone or Surf And Turf and IOS still only has on page of Surf And Turf…
And there is no PC update for Rio.Strange.
The typical lull between updates, better get used to it… :/
I suggest working on scores to make them above average, that would certainly pass the time. :)
when will the new update come out?
As the post says….
what do you mean?
He means he’s not sure when the update will come out.
Also, over-punctuation is not necessary. I removed the extra question marks.
Will they make any new birds or bring the green,white,and orange angry birds into the games new update.
Not known.
Surprised there hasn’t been any… “real” updates since the release of Space, especially sometimes we have several updates in a week…
When will angry birds be on the nintendo 3ds?
We have no information about that.
AB Space was updated in Game Center. But since they did not add any new achievements, I’m only expecting a bug fix update.
Good eye.
Wen do you expect the update? Today?
I would have expected it a few days ago, so perhaps it was rejected or withdrawn.
The White bird was left because if his physics his bomb wouldn’t drop in space it would float like a mine. But I can’t see why boomerang and the orange birds were left.
You never know, they may make a variant of the White mama birds… Kind of like they did with the yellow bird, which has the lazer bird as its compliment.
I’ve wondered about this too.
They could still use the white bird, if her egg would launch out like a rocket. It’s already kind of like it’s rocket propelled the way she flies up every time she drops it!
I called the white bird a “she” because I’ve never seen a “he” drop an egg.
Good ideas guys
If you remember, the white bird had a female mate seen in Hogs and Kisses. Plus, female birds drop eggs. But, they don’t drop BOMBED eggs. It must be a male.
I think that the boomerang bird is left because the lazer birds has adopted his role. Now he can go back by pointing the place you want.
The birds are superheroes they can breath in space
the orange bird couldnt be able to swell because there’s no air in space, and the boomerang bird has been replaced by the lazer bird (he can come back after a shot)
The Lazer bird is the Yellow Bird.
Actually, it would float of drop in a straight line just like shooting with a bow and an arrow, or flinging a bird in zero gravity
white bird might be a target type like lazer.
tapping anywhere on the screen causes the egg to drop there.
Like a military jet that drops bombs!
Cool, can’t wait! I hope that the update is coming soon and us Android users don’t have to wait very long like the S&T levels who is not released yet.
I just read that angry birds is becoming a tv show
Tomorrow this will be!I CAN’T WAIT!!!:)) :):)
How do you know this is coming out tomorrow?
He doesn’t. He posts his beliefs as if they are fact.
Oh. :( Disappointed now.
Sorry about that. I’m going to delete his comment, as it’s very misleading.
Yeah, almost tweeted everyone that the update was tomorrow. :( But I would love to be surprised though!
I don’t think so. There will indeed be an update in the coming days, but it will be bug fixes.
Hey, just realized. Maybe he was talking about the contest ending tomorrow, not the actual update.
do you know if the Fat Pig will appear in this update? I hope so
That’s a possibility, but we’re not sure… yet.
I can’t wait for the update! I don’t know why, but I’m really sure that the Fat Pig will appear… it will be great!
I don’t think the fat Pig will appear in this planet. He will appear as the fINAL BOSS in the final planet of AB Space.
Hey if you go the the AB RIO Facebook page it says that Angry Birds Space will be available in a few hours to play with your friends. Not sure if its credible just what it said.
That page is a fake one. Angry Birds Space will stay as a separate app for now and in the future too :)
Ok thanks.
There’s a new comic out on space.angrybirds.com.
Yes! And the site has been given a totally awesome makeover :D
And also if you read the comic it says ‘ When Bob glows up too…’ maybe thats the name of Black Bird?
I think it is cause he says to the blue birds he hasn’t blown up a lot that day.
We drafted a post last night but it needs a few tweaks before we push it live.
Are the blue birds the kids of the Red/Black/Yellow bird???
@orangebird09-Yes.They are the youngest of them all.That is why they are the smallest!
Yes! Now I can tell my friends about this!:D
Me don’t get it Ca-cawww!: http://news.yahoo.com/angry-birds-become-animated-tv-series-fall-143603285.html
First sentence in the article… “You know that frustrating game where you have to shoot birds into bricks and try to knock them down?”
Now I remember why I don’t read Yahoo news.
i just submitted in the contest. BBQ pig. takes place on a hot planet
It looks like our friend, @Laurence, got an honorable mention for his entry: Hamosphere. Nicely done buddy ( unless it’s not you :P )
Do you mean that the results are out?
A-some work Lawrauce but I can’t believe you bet my one Peri-Peri Pork
@sal9 Why thank you, it is indeed me! A shame yours didn’t make it :( – that would have been awesome
@Kun Parekh, thay are indeed out over here! :)
Laurence congrats!
Laurence & Sal9, maybe it’s me, but I can’t open either link you posted. :)
Enjoy your space box. :)
Thanks guys :)
@sunshine – both are working for me here, but if it’s not working, try pasting “http://www.rovio.com/en/news/blog/153/angry-birds-competition-winners-announced/2012” into your URL :)
Awesome! Enjoy your new space box Laurence! :)
@sunshine I can’t get the links to work either, they just direct me to a 404 URL error.
Enjoy Your new space box :) Laurence
whats in the box?
Congratulations Laurence, I liked your name the best! Be sure to let us know what’s in the box!
Laurence,come on!
Tell us what’s in the box!
yes they are, you can check them out @ rovio.com
Congrats Laurence,enjoy you space box ;D
none of the links is working for me! all three lead to a page where it says ,no eggs here. maybe try out anpther page! ‘
How odd! OK, here’s another way! Google Rovio, click top link. On the page on the left hand side about half way down it should say “Angry Birds Competition Winners Announced” Click on that and it should take you to the page linked above. If that doesn’t work, then the issue might be at their end, unfortunately!
Thanks Laurence, I went right to their site after I posted.
@ Kart that was the same message I got.
Got it! For those of you using mobile devices, use this URL!
http://www.rovio.com/en/mobile-news/153/angry-birds-competition-winners-announced
Thanks Kart, that works!!!! ;)
Congralutions Laurence!Ouu i nned,hope that in future will be winner too!:D:)
thanks maksims, best of luck in future! :)
Congrats on the contest Laurence
Well done, Laurence!!! I’m gonna update this post to include your kudos!
Thanks Slim – did you enter by the way?
I’m a numerologist, not a logophile ;)
haha, fair enough, lol!
Nice job Laurence
Laurence, your entry was brilliant! So simple, so descriptive, so obvious a choice for pig space. I think I will now refer to any time I spend playing ABsp as …now entering the hamosphere…
It’s funny when Slim says logophile that way:)
Fry me to the moon in available on PC?
The update has not been released yet.
This update was announced on April 5th but haven’t released it yet…….How much are Rovio planning to make us wait?
Well, if you see there have been updates to Chrome and Facebook plus ABFree for iOS which hadn’t recieved a update for long so we should expect it in the coming days or so!
I hope so…and for all the platforms at the same too…..
I mean same TIME too…
Maybe thay are waiting for 15 or 16 April when it is Easter.
Unless I’m crazy, wasn’t Easter last week?
Orthodox Easter is this coming weekend.
It’s definetly going to be out tommorow, being the 1 month anniversery of AB Space, if it’s not I don’t think it’s ever come out….
The second part of your comment is illogical.
I don’t think it’s ever going to come out****
Again, illogical.
…..Mr Spock ;D
sorry i dont speak perfect english, i dont care if its illogical
It was released today. Ergo, illogical.
it’ll come out. they wouldn’t mention it if it wasn’t going to be released.
Ok thanks
when will it be updated??? i’m so excited
We don’t know, which we specifically say in the post.
Man i cant wait for this update i hate how they tease us with the anouncments then wait a month to put the update out and considering i only use it on my PC itll be another month until its out on PC…
As a PC user, I must agree.
By the way, as one of the posts above said…….weekend is over, and even Monday went……no update?
I think the update is above April 22 or on April 22,like an one month anniversary,sometimes they tell people that the game hasn’t even reach a month in twitter.
I think that too, maybe they want to release it right in a month after the launch of the game… but I would like it to be released before!
you got a point there. maybe before or after april.
