Angry Birds Space “Fry Me to the Moon” Update Coming Soon

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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. Will the majority of bugs be fixed in this update?
  4. 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!!

Does Fat pig appear in danger zone?

No, only in Cold Cuts so far.

Or maybe that planet is the Cold Cuts planet and the fat pig got out.

By MonsterBigBro12

The planet looks similar to the planet at Cold Cuts 2-20. Maybe Fat Pig gets hungry, and HE GET OUT OF THE PLANET AND EAT SOME OF IT? I’m not sure yet. Maybe we got to ask Vesterbacka about this ridiculous episode.

I think it is better to wait and see.

By MonsterBigBro12

By the way, how long we should wait, Slim? And will the birds be fried in the moon? Or the pigs will fry the eggs in the moon? I can’t wait anymore, I should ask Vesterbacka about this.

so the update wont come before 11th april? is the next planet the forth? do eggsteroids and danger zone count? cause then its the 5th? or both dont count and they need a name for the over next planet?

Rank: Champion with 3295 points
By Laurence (@laurence)

It’s to name the fourth FREE planet, and as DZ is not free, and eggsteroids are more bonuses than a planet, it will be the fourth. Fry me to the moon will be the third, and there’s no timescale on that, although given the game’s only been out for two weeks, I doubt we’ll see it quite yet, lol! :)

We don’t know the precise date of the udpate.

The numbering goes 1-Pig Bang, 2-Cold Cuts, 3-Fry Me to the Moon, …, D-Danger Zone, E-Eggsteroids.

By qJ

I know nobody knows the answer but I’m just curious if there is any speculation on if any further levels will be added to Danger Zone or another planet in the Danger Zone series (either included with the original purchase or subsequent purchases) of if it was a one time buy and done?

Rank: Gold Flinger with 9830 points
By Chris (@chriss)

In Game Center, Danger Zone is labelled “Danger Zone 1”. That’s why I think there will be a second Danger Zone.

There is speculation that more levels will be added.

why isn’t frequent crashings for space in bugs? i’ve heard a huge amount of complaints from people in my school, myself, and posts on ABS’s itunes page complaining about this frequent crashing, specified by some (and observed by myself at times) by simply clicking the pause menu. i have also found playing boss 1’s level makes mine crash faster too.

completely irrelevant question, but what is fat pig? i’m assuming its the pig frozen in one of the planets in cold cuts, but is it something anyone ever interacts with?

Rank: Sling God with 32120 points
By AMslimfordy (@amslimfordy)

1) It is indeed a bug, but since it is so well-known, we don’t feel the need to include it. This is likely priority-one for Rovio’s next update.

2) That’s exactly it; he also appears in Cold Cuts 2-20.

By Oobgular

I emailed Rovio about them and they told me that it was just my itouch. So I’m not sure I’d they know about it.

will the trend continue of all the platforms getting the update simultaneously on the same day or are they reverting back to what they were doing before(ios frist, amazon next, android and then PC)

Rank: Sling God with 32120 points
By AMslimfordy (@amslimfordy)

The idea is tht the update is usually launched on all platforms close to simultaneously, but then approval process can vary.

Yeah can’t wait….wonder why they called fry me to the moon….

By Bombbird

I guess they changed “Fly me to the moon” into that. Maybe because of the pigs that you can fry. :D

By Dominic

They called it that beacause the Pigs might fry the eggs and they are on the Moon

By Ethan

I Honestly think “Fly Me Too The Moon” would be better because the main characters are the Birds but Fry Me Too the Moon is OK too.

They are using it as the internal reference for now.

Not to revisit an old subject, but it is very interesting to look at the URLs associated to that page. I hate to say it, but avid gamers have seen Rovio’s consistent inconsistency:

(Listed below as “App: URL-reference // downloader-reference)
Original: ABO // abc
Rio: ABR // rio
Seasons: ABS // ssn
Space: ABP // spc

Dry humor for those who understand the typical obsessiveness of programmers.
