It’s been a little while since the last update Angry Birds Space — nearly 9 months in fact. But that’s in the past. Today, Beak Impact (v2.0.0) has landed! We first announced this update on May 2nd, courtesy of a Rovio/NASA tweet. The update is currently available for iOS, PC, Mac and Android via Google Play and the Amazon Appstore!
This update includes:
- 40 new levels in the Beak Impact episode! This is the largest update ever to Space! Our walkthroughs are live if you need help.
Note: Beak Impact is split into 2 parts. To unlock Part 2, you must 3-star levels 8-1 through 8-20. If this task seems to tough, there’s a $0.99 USD in-app purchase to unlock Part 2 as well. - Four new Antenna Egg levels! As expected, there is one for levels 8-1 through 8-10, one for 8-11 through 8-20, one for 8-21 through 8-30, and one for 8-31 through 8-40.
- Two new Sardine Can levels! These are unlocked by obtaining all 20 feathers using the Space Eagle in each of Part 1 and Part 2. These walkthroughs will take us a bit more time to get to, but please be patient.
- Four NASA Spacecrafts! Find each to unlock a bonus level: Orion Crew Vehicle, OSIRIS-REx, Deep Impact, and Dawn. We will leave their locations a mystery here. But be sure to keep an eye out and check out our Complete Eggsteroids Guide
- Four new iOS achievements!
So what are you waiting for?

Wow this is a huge update!! 50 levels!! Niiiiiiice
The Main theme has now changed, but they still have the slash theme in Pig Dipper
@bad-piggies-2 Glad they left it in somewhere. I like Slash and I like Hammond organs. :P
The levels are much more puzzle-style than the SW2 update which were generally blow up & clean up. A number of new items that can be set off gives you more things to think about. Wormhole and boss levels also require new strategies to conquer. Interesting update. 3-starred first set of levels pretty easy, second set seems to be a little tougher, but I don’t have enough time to work through to 3 stars at the moment.
Android users, are there still crashing issue? I still have such disgusting error…
Mine (on Nexus 7) now crashes every time on launch. Contacted rovio, they suggested backing up, uninstall/reinstall the game, then restoring the backed up progress. However, on Jellybean this requires rooting the device, which I have not done. They also said they are getting other reports of it and that they are working on a solution – they had this issue on some other games a couple times, must have made the same goof again. sigh.
I also contacted Rovio. With me, the update isn’t even installing on top of AB Space 1.6.9. premium. (HTC One X with Android 4.0.3) I’ll try a fresh install when I have Wi-Fi later today.
My problem is fixed. I uninstalled/ reinstalled, played one level and then copied my old highscores.lua file into the game. (I’m still missing my old Eagle + power-up count, but I’ll look into that later. For now I just want to play the update :-)
@burpie : If you keep your “eaglepurchase.lua” when you have a big number, you can restore your space eagle count.
For example, I have 645 bonuses space eagle in the infinity
@grimmjow Thanks for the tip!
Reinstall still not working, sad my collected daily reward is gone.
@dh-kim
Yep, managed to play 7 levels throughout my working day today on my Sony Xperia z2 tablet (kitkat v4.4.2), was looking forward to playing more levels after work but just keep getting an error message (“unfortunately angry birds has stopped working”) when I try to open the app now, regardless of whether I’m on or offline. Have also tried backup, uninstall/reinstall and restoring the app as suggested herein but this has been to no avail. I hope Rovio can get to the bottom of the problem and get it fixed soon.
now i have black screen too here :(
In my case the problem had to do with file permissions. For some reason the backup program changed the file permissions to 175. After doing a restore and manually setting the permissions back to 666 everything worked.
I can’t explain as I’ve been using the same backup program for awhile now and haven’t had this issue in the past.
@Chirpy43 — So your problem was solved? OMG but what on earth is that permission things :o
That’s how Linux/UNIX file permissions work.
You may need root to change the permissions.
Are others still having issues with the Android version? It continues to crash immediately upon opening on my Samsung Galaxy S3. I’ve tried uninstalling and reinstalling. The game then starts normally, but as soon as I restore my backup file, it goes back to crashing again. This seems to be some sort of issue with the user data created by the old version causing a crash in the new version. Any workaround or news of an update to fix it?
I haven’t been able to open space since the update (device: Nexus 4). I contacted Rovio about a week ago, and they said they are working on a fix. I don’t want to delete and reinstall and risk loosing all my scores, so I guess waiting and hoping is the only option!
Thanks for the info. Hopefully that fix comes soon!
Got version 2.0.1 today, and the problem is fixed!
Yep, fixed for me as well!
Omg, this is like possible the best update ever c:
@AMslimfordy Youdon´t have to three-star the antenna levels to unlock part 2
Thanks.
No more free power ups and Eagle :(
@AMslimfordy dont get how to do level E15?
You are supposed to defend the space eggs by shooting out bomb bird from the cannon. When he is near a asteroid he explodes.
@bad-piggies-2 i know that, but there are always more asteroids coming :P dont have enough birds :P
Don´t care about the eggs at the left side, only the once on the right. it´s much easier then
@Josm We’ll get there eventually :)
@amslimfordy @josm I’ve three starred both of E-15 and S-22. Ignore the asteroid eggs on the left and protect the ones on the right- you’ll have enough asteroid eggs and birds left to get the required three star score.
@bad-piggies-2 and @spacemaster thanks!
I was looking forward to this update but now the app is no longer compatible with my device. Wow…
Same for me:( I got 1.6.0 and it works fine but when I go to the Play Store it says my device is not compatible. Maybe side-loading the apk will help if I can find it somewhere.
While this update is fun, I’m disappointed that you have to pay or 3-star all levels in Part 1 before you can play Part 2.
…Then again, I don’t need to worry about it too much yet because I haven’t completed Pt 1 yet (although I’m close too). Although the new main theme is nice and fits with the new episode, I still prefer the older one as it fits best with the older episodes. Overall though, it’s a pretty cool update.
I got a free power-up and Eagle. “Sponsored by…” the sponsor. It’s a way of sneaking in unobtrusive ads.
Anyone notice the separate power-up score column for all episodes on the title screen? That’s new, right?
@Kelani That’s been there since PUs were introduced in AB:Space.
Ah, thanks. I rarely play on iOS, so I must have never noticed that.
@amslimfordy
Any reports of the danger zone episide being unlocked with this update please?
I noticed that the levels didnt have the padlock as in previous versions upon first opening the app, tried clicking on level 2 but this just resulted in a whirling circle (no Internet access at the time) and subsequently I had to force stop the app; now that I have Internet access, the app just crashes, so cant check it.
@leggy I think Level 1 was always free; beyond is paid.
@leggy Level 1 was always offered as a trial- I remember being able to play it when Space was first released.
Thanks for responses @amslimfordy @spacemaster
Yes, I remember level 1 being available as a trial prior to buying the episode, but what I also remember is that levels 2+ had padlocks on them. Since the beak impact update those padlocks are no longer there, I’ve not paid to unlock the episode, so I thought perhaps Rovio had implemented an ‘unlock after 3* so many episodes/levels’ system as they’ve done in Absw….?
I have checked every level twice, but I cannot find Orion. Where is it?
@chriss I will update the guide within the hour.
Can’t wait to play this update! It’s so huge! This will keep me busy for a while!
@AMSlimFordy All those @mentions in BI are min 3* scores I confirmed. If you don’t want to be mentioned, just let me know.
Something looks different about Mighty Eagle. Wonder why.
In honor of Buzz Aldrin.
Thanks for the update Rovio… and a good one!
However.. my distaste continues. Nine months of development, and those that play for free get it first.. while those of us that have paid to play, have to wait. Delete this post if you want AMS.. or BL… but it grinds me to the core having to pay more for my platform, and be last in line.
I’ve lost track of how many times we’ve explained why PC/Mac updates take longer.
I haven’t been here that long, so I likely missed all of your explanations. So for @Morph416 ‘s benefit, here’s a link to one of your recent ones.
https://www.angrybirdsnest.com/forums/topic/has-rovio-abandoned-pc/#post-51688
I never needed an explanation.. I’ve seen them all. I play the tiny free Android versions.. but I prefer the ones I paid for.
Played the first 20 levels and this update is fun. Like the new effects and the subtle gravity fields. In addition, the backgrounds seem to have a bit more depth and the shades of blue are rich in color. It is nice to have another update in Space soon after CC.
Have they removed the daily rewards? Because I didn´t get one today…
@bad-piggies-2 yea the rewards were removed :(
@joeyba @daboid @AMSlimfordy — Are the free daily rewards really gone? DaBoid got some, not sure how that happened. I don’t seem to be getting any. : (
I don’t get Daily Rewards, with the spinning roulette wheel graphic. Instead, a little notice pops up telling me I have a Space Eagle courtesy of… (insert sponsor name).
It’s happened a few times so far.
Same, I just got an Eagle courtesy of Angry Birds Go. Imagine that.
@DaBoid @Kelani — Well, HUMPF — I haven’t gotten anything. What device did you get these on?
@mvnla2 I did not get any reward also! Nothing !!!
@mvnla2 on ipad. Maybe it’s like Rio now: really infrequent.
i won a space egg today and yesterday :) sponserd by juicy cubes and ab friends =D
Where does it come up? In the shop or in a level?
I’ve gotten one almost every day on iOS. A little popup appears when you first open the app that day.
Angry Birds Japan twitter:
Epic will launch worldwide June 12!
https://twitter.com/AngryBirds_JP/status/474755066088271873
@AMslimfordy
probably only japan :(
I hope global launch. SW2 then Space then Epic : Good Job Rovio, but it is better to organize and to display the dates of releases.
Later for Epic, I am not going to complain, I am already rather impatient since march.
I translated (http://www.angrybirds.jp/2014/%E3%82%A2%E3%83%B3%E3%82%B0%E3%83%AA%E3%83%BC%E3%83%90%E3%83%BC%E3%83%89%E6%96%B0%E4%BD%9C%E3%82%B2%E3%83%BC%E3%83%A0%E3%80%8Eangry-birds-epic%E3%80%8F%E6%97%A5%E6%9C%AC%E9%99%90%E5%AE%9A%EF%BC%81/) that page and it seems to only be in Japan.
They seem to have a exclusive for red:

@grimmjow @bad-piggies-2 @AMslimfordy http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tnEwvXu-LUg worldwide launch in 3 days! June 12 confirmed
Seriously ? Worlwide ? Just amazing !!!
@grimmjow yes worldwide!

The PC version of Space 2.0.0. is also out…
Thanks! Post updated, log updated, social media pinged!
Note: in PC version there is no way to pay for the 2nd part, so you need to 3-star all the levels in part 1
Great – at least I can play it on the PC while I wait for them to fix the crash problems on the android version!
Fortunately, it’s well worth the time investment.
In v2.0.0 Rovio has removed the ability on PC to free-resize the screen when playing in windowed mode. You can still resize it a bit, but it only allows sizes that match 4:3 and 16:9. The lowest you can go is 800×600. Not really a big deal, except now you can’t resize the screen to weird sizes e.g. 200×800, 1366×300 to see things that are normally offscreen, which is useful for the offscreen structure on Pig Bang 1-17, and the planet on the Anchors Aweigh level.
Level 21 is the same configuration
