Courtesy of both Samsung and SXSW, we have our first real glimpse at full-fledged gameplay in Angry Birds Space. As we reported in the official announcement, the first two episodes are called “Pig Bang” and “Cold Cuts”. Each episode will contain 30 levels and will be included at launch.
But wait, there’s more!
There will be a third episode called “Danger Zone” featuring 30 extremely challenging — brainteaser-like — levels. According to Samsung, this episode will be available as an in-app purchase (for which platforms is unclear at this time). Samsung Galaxy users will be able to access this episode free for 3 months from launch date and there will be an exclusive level, which you can see in the video below.
But wait, there might be even more!
Check out the SXSW demo below and you’ll see what looks to be a fourth episode called “Eggsteroids”. It appears this episode will be included at launch as well; though, I can’t see the episode selection screen well enough to make out the total number of levels (there are at least six). The developers got to have a bit of fun with this episode, as we see one level resembling old Super Mario Bros gameplay. If I was a betting man, I’d say this would also be an in-app purchase, or it could be analogous to the “Golden Eggs” episode of ABo.
So all told we’ve now seen four episodes: Pig Bang, Cold Cuts, Danger Zone, and Eggsteroids. Again, we don’t know what will exactly be available at launch — nor do we know exactly what will be free and what will be available as in-app purchase — but who cares, there will definitely be a lot of value packed into Angry Birds Space.

That is not clear
I hope rovio spend angry birds space a lot of levels on mrch 22nd.
Because they doesnt update thier existing angry birds games in the last monthes except angry birds season!!
AB Space will have 60 levels.
Rovio has given us many free updates recently, check the Updates page.
Between 60 and 96, by my count:
Pig Bang = 30
Cold Cuts = 30
Danger Zone = 30 (the platform availability is still in question)
Eggsteroids = 6 (not clear if all of these will be available)
How do you get the level danger zone because I don’t have it
Available for iOS, PC, and Samsung Androids.

Very good interview — tho Peter did a fantastic job of not actually answering many questions ;)
Samsung uploaded another video about Space, not much new revealed but you could see Space Invaders as an Eggsteroid level if you pause at 1:08!

lol that’s excellent … space invaders.
What’s Space Invaders?
It’s a bit of a old game but is the same gameplay as Chicken Invaders. The player-controlled laser cannon shoots the aliens as they descend to the bottom of the screen.
Is angry birds in space another update or is it another app
Brand new app ^.^
I’m surprised you guys haven’t made a post with all the new birds (introduction videos Rovio has posted in the last few days/hours).
But we did. Meet the Birds in this post :)
I can’t wait to play.
Not sure if this is the place to post this, but AB Space has a companion book from National Geographic. It comes out March 20. The link is here:
http://newswatch.nationalgeographic.com/2012/03/08/angry-birds-space-qa-your-guide-to-the-angry-universe/
Check it out! Thought is was interesting.
It is posted on Official Angry Birds Space Announcement page. Pretty cool though, launching a game with Nasa and National Geographic.
This question is for Slim. With all the full version Angry Birds games/apps there are, there are also free versions such as Angry Birds Lite, Angry Birds Free, Angry Birds Seasons Free and Angry Birds Rio Free. Is there a distinct possibility that there will be an Angry Birds Space Free??
Rovio hasn’t said anything about that yet. I don’t really want to speculate on the matter, since it is probably a 50/50 chance.
In fact, Rovio hasn’t even confirmed if Android’s app will be free (ad-supported) or paid (ad-free).
I have a question for this site:
I don’t want to have a mighty hoax 3 star king pig picture.

When will this be on the pc?
Already released!
I don’t have it yet
hey….where is the white bird that lays eggs.
yeah i was wondering why they took that out… maybe the eggs would be tough to use with all the orbit stuff.
Maybe it’ll be in future episodes….
hey peeps, (literally, cuz this is angry birds. get it?) haven’t been allowed to play this yet and am wondering if the ME or some alternative, equivilent thing is in it. thanks in advance.
Refer to the release post. Plenty of information there.
Watches the 4 videos above and the information presented by the Rovio folks was enlightening as to how they present their products. They seem to keep it positive and in the spirit of just playing a game. Nice touch.
Boy Danger Zone Dangerous and hard.I belive there only 6 people that has three stars in alls levels.
