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!!

Do you have to be 18+ to enter the contest?

Rank: Sling God with 32120 points

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.

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!

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.

Rank: Explosive with 2205 points
By loox (@loox)

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.

Rank: Boss Hog with 13330 points
By kathi17 (@kathi17)

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.

By Birdfan1223

Good ideas guys

Rank: DaBomb with 355 points
By Kun Parekh (@kun-parekh)

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.

Rank: DaBomb with 365 points
By birdyandrak (@birdyandrak)

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

By g196

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.

Rank: Explosive with 2070 points

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.
