*Lazer Bird used to have a cape during cutscenes, animations and trailers, and the loading screen, but doesn't have it and has a lightning bolt-shaped tail during gameplay and on the title screen. That was changed in v1.3.2 because, in that version, the Lazer Bird finally receives his cape and loses his lightning bolt-shaped tail during gameplay. Now people can use the Lazer Bird's newer sprite, the one with his cape. |

The Daily - Birds in Space
On March 14, 2012, The Daily uploaded a free app that acts as an official companion to the game. The guide contains detailed information on the creation of the game, new characters, and other information.
A THIN LINE
March 14, 2012, also saw the press release of a new collaboration between MTV's A THIN LINE anti-cyber-bullying campaign and Angry Birds Space. Once the game is launched on March 22, 2012, players who post a positive message to the Draw Your Line app will receive a hint as to where to get a code that opens a secret golden egg level. Additionally, an anti-cyber-bullying PSA featuring the Birds will be released that day. [2]
Story
From The Daily - Birds in Space guide, a rough overview of the story was revealed:
One day, the birds were taking care of the eggs when a mechanical claw grabs the Birds' eggs and they follow it through a wormhole to arrive in the world of Space. There, some gain new powers or equipment. They meet Ice Bird, convinced he can help them get home, but Ice Bird is only concerned about saving his world from the Space Pigs and retrieving the Eggsteroid.
Space Pigs are the Bad Piggies, outfitted with new equipment allowing them to survive in Space and brandishing new challenges to the Flock, including the Space King's UFO (which houses the aforementioned claw) and the enormous Fat Pig.
Gameplay
The game features a new Gravitational Field that alters the Bird's direction when shot, making the game more difficult. However, there are small "dots" protruding from the Bird on the slingshot showing which direction the Bird will go depending on the altitude and power of the shot.

Power-Ups
Power-Ups have arrived in Angry Birds Space in the Pig Dipper Update on January 10th, 2013. Here's what we have at our disposal now, besides Space Eagles, of course.
Flock of Birds: Enables the bird on the slingshot to split into a flock of 5 birds for a "Flock of Destruction"!. The original bird will be normal size while the other 4 copies will be smaller in size. This resembles The Blues' ability but the current bird splits into 5 birds when launched. For maximum damage. Use The Lightning Birds with this power-up then split them into 3. This will make a total of 15 birds launched!
Space Egg: With the Space Egg Power-Up, you can now use the Space Egg in the original levels. Use the Space Egg's Black Hole from the Space Egg Bonus Levels to help you out with those tough levels.
Pig Puffer: This causes parts of the structure of the fortresses to break or move if the Inflated Pigs is too big to fit. In water levels like Pig Dipper, the inflated pigs will rise to the surface.
Note: Just like the Power-Ups in Angry Birds Classic, Angry Birds Rio, and the Facebook version of Angry Birds Star Wars, the Power-Ups in Space have limited use, so use very wisely, unless you want to boost your Power-Up score (Power Up scores are counted in Space). To get more power-ups, go to the new shop icon in the Pause menu or Title Menu and it'll tell how much each pack of power-ups cost. With the power-ups arriving in Space, you can never receive only Space Eagles daily, anymore. Instead, whenever you go to Angry Birds Space each day and press the play button or removing an advertisement, you'll receive a random daily reward in a chance game that can be described as, "The Wheel of Space Power-Ups". You can earn, 1 King Sling, 1 Flock of Birds, 1 Space Egg, 1 Pig Puffer, 1 Space Eagle, or if you're really lucky, 5 Space Eagles. But be careful of when you use your power-ups and save them wisely, especially the Space Eagles because you'll need them to get 100% total destruction on all the levels to unlock the Space Eagle Bonus Level and Special Item Bubble with the Feather.
Tip!: To make "The "Wheel of Space Power-Ups" stop quickly, press the button with the fast forward (double right-pointing triangles) icon.
National Geographic Books
On March 8, 2012, National Geographic updated their Web site[3] to offer the official companion book to the game in their e-store.
See main article: Angry Birds Space: A Furious Flight Into the Final Frontier
Later, they updated their site with an Angry Birds Space Q&A.
Additionally, a second upcoming book was posted to Amazon.com to be offered on September 25, 2012[4]

Trivia
- The pigs have their Google Chrome sprites, with a few added frames.
- In Angry Birds Friends, one golden egg is based on Angry Birds Space.
- Angry Birds Space and Angry Birds Star Wars are the only Angry Birds games to have more than one interactive screen. In both the menu and the title screen, you have the option to pop pigs, and other objects such as ice balls.
- The Birds are based on
and superheroes.
- Space Red's masks resemble those of Wolverine.
- The Lightning Birds' helmets resemble that of The Flash.
- Firebomb's coat, skin colors, and powers resemble Firestorm.
- The Incredible Terence's new skin color and large size resembles the Hulk, along with that his noise ability has a roaring noise like Hulk.
- Lazer Bird's goggles resemble those of Cyclops.
- Atomic Bird's costume resembles that of Firestorm, similar to Bomb's costume in the game, but his ability resembles Lagoon Boy.
- Ice Bird's powers resemble those of Iceman.
- In Angry Birds Space, the game developers enhanced the Pigs to become more responsive to certain reactions, defeat and near experiences such as: acting frightened when falling blocks or a bird comes near, an eating animation (added in Utopia update), and sleeping along with the other pigs, yawning when the birds don't approach the Bad Piggies. This even happens when you first start a level (and occasional giggling can happen).
- This was later implemented on Angry Birds Star Wars.
- In Angry Birds Space v1.2.2, the backgrounds of the levels have been changed a bit. It happened again in v1.3.2.
- When the Bubbles made his way to Angry Birds Space, he has new sprites when he inflates and during time inflated, refer to the sprites in Space Characters and the Classic Orange Bird's wiki page.
- If you pause the game at just the time when the Bubbles inflates, you'll see he has an extra sprite before his coat is stretched and his mouth is open. Refer to the sprite in Space Characters.
- Lazer Bird used to have a cape during cutscenes, animations and trailers, and the loading screen, but doesn't have it and has a lightning bolt-shaped tail during gameplay and on the title screen. That was changed in v1.3.2 because, in that version, the Lazer Bird finally receives his cape and loses his lightning bolt-shaped tail during gameplay. Now people can use the Lazer Bird's newer sprite, the one with his cape.
- With Angry Birds Star Wars released, Angry Birds Space becomes the first game to have levels take place in space, with the second being Angry Birds Star Wars. Angry Birds Star Wars II is the 3rd game to have levels in space.
- This is the first game to not feature Hal, Stella, Silver, and Matilda.
- With the Power-Ups in Space in the Pig Dipper Update, the Space Eagle Button received a change in the button color, from green to purple. The eye symbol stays the same, except it reflects light. Also, the Space Eagles are no longer just one purchase, they will be available at the shop. Also, notably, the number of Space Eagles to buy and prices have changed: 80 Eagles has been decreased to 50 ($2.99 changed to $4.99). 280 Eagles have been decreased to 110 ($7.99 changed to $9.99), and 980 Eagles have been drastically decreased to 225 ($19.99 stays the same).
- On March 7, 2013, Angry Birds Space was updated with an exclusive new theme song made by Slash.
- The Mighty Buzzard takes the place of the Space Eagle during Beak Impact. It slightly resembles NASA astronaut Buzz Aldrin, one of the first two astronauts to land on the moon.
- This is the first game not to have the female birds at all.
- There is a comic in Angry Birds: Monsters and Mistletoe, where Matilda appears as Queen Matilda of the Spaceways, which possibly implies how she would look like on Angry Birds Space. In the comic, she has the power of turning pigs into food with her pistol. However, her allies, which are Chuck, Bomb, and Terence, aren't in their Space forms and are crystallized.
- Angry Birds Space was released on March 22, 2012, but Angry Birds Rio was released on March 22, 2011, making it the only Angry Birds game to be released on another Angry Birds game's birthday.
- This is the first Angry Birds game where the Birds' trajectories are traced before they are launched, making it easier for players to figure out where they will land. This concept has been used for the Sling Scope in Angry Birds.
- In the old version (2.0.1 and older) the Share button is replaced by the trailer.

Additionally, on March 9, 2012, the Angry Birds Facebook page updated with a video of the Lazer Bird in action, presented by the Samsung Galaxy Note. The description on the Samsung Mobile YouTube channel reads:
