As the countdown to the launch of Angry Birds Star Wars II continues, now with only six days to go, Rovio wants to ensure that all Jedis have proper training before delving into the prequel trilogy. We first reported this forthcoming update two months ago via Sandbox mode in GameCenter. Today, Angry Birds Space Cosmic Crystals (v1.6.0) has for iOS, Mac, PC, and Android , with more platforms coming soon.
This update includes:
30 new levels in the Cosmic Crystals episode!
One new Eggsteroid! For now, we will leave its location a mystery, but be sure to keep an eye out and check out our Complete Eggsteroids Guide, which will be updated soon.
Three new Antenna Egg levels! As expected, there is one for levels 7-1 through 7-10, one for 7-11 through 7-20, and one for 7-21 through 7-30.
One new Sardine Can level! This is unlocked by obtaining all 30 feathers using the Space Eagle. This walkthrough will take us a bit more time to get to, but please be patient.
Second Tip! Crystal planets can explode, causing massive destruction! See the trailer above for a first look.
Third Tip! Look for triggers and chain reactions, since they may be key in 3-starring some levels.
It’s significant to note that Space Races, which appeared in our “sleuth” post a couple months ago, seem to have been done away with. Whether this is good or bad, only Rovio can say. Perhaps their original plan was to use Space Races to tease Angry Birds Go, perhaps there was implementation issues on some platforms, who knows. Just noting here that it’s not here. Personally, I’m happy with the classics.
