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:
- 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.
- 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.
- Will the majority of bugs be fixed in this update?
- 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!!

Why does this look a lot like cold cuts? Isn’t there supposed to be a new theme? Well I hope there is a new theme throughout the game.
Yup your right it dose.Mabe next update will be a lava place?:()
Or a planet filled with exotic fruit! giant watermelons! golden apples! so much more stuff!
Lots of people don’t like that you have to buy the danger Zone. Lots of people Rated on star because of the bugs and that you have to buy Danger Zone.Mabe you guys should make the Danger Zone free but I like the game a lot. :) :()
We are only a fan site. We have nothing todos it’s the pricing or development of the app.
That said, I completely support the pricing of Danger Zone. Those levels are extremely difficult and are not part of normal gameplay.
Your right but I don’t know if they r hard?
But I did get Angry birds space for free at free my apps so I guess I can buy it.:/
You should be careful about using unofficial app stores.
No, I looked up Free My Apps and it’s just promo codes for the iTunes store, so not a trojan.
I also think Danger Zone should be $0.99 to separate the beginners (who get the app for free) from the experts. And if Rovio chooses to release “Danger Zone 2”, it should also be $0.99 or free to people who already bought DZ.
You can look at the video walkthroughs for Danger Zone for a sneak peek. :)
Sounds like stealing, that app.
What, Free My Apps? Seems like a lot of work to me… (download 10 or so free apps for a free $1 app) but definitely not stealing… several apps in the iTunes app store offer free gift cards for watching videos/downloading apps.
Sorry if this has been asked and answered already:
Does anyone know how the connection between game center and AB updates follow a steadfast rule?
Specifically, is there a set time between the appearance of new achievemtmts in Game Center ( provided they are not maxed out, like AB Seasons) and the update to the game?
For example, AB Space does not show new achievements at the moment. Does this mean there is a minimum of X hours before an update is released?
GameCenter must update before the app is updated assuming something changes (either new achievements, new leaderboards, or a new logo). However the timeframe is not definitive. All it means is that Rovio has submitted the app to Apple to go through QA and be approved.
Any new news on this upcoming update?
no not yet
Do you know how many Egssteroids will be available in this update? (I’m sure that at least there’s one)
That’s not clear. Probably 2 or 3, if the release is 30 levels. The more interesting question is: Will the “Samsung” Eggsteroid have its numbering as “#6” removed?
yes it’s interesting! I would like Rovio to add it to the other platforms…
That would be weird for other users… no #6… or maybe 6A, 6B? Probably the number will be changed to Bonus or Samsung or something.
Or maybe it becomes available for all users, and keeps its number 6. Crossing fingers!
“Come fry with me,come fry let’s fry today!”
Really?
It’s a parody of song lyrics.
Yeah I know Slim (I believe written by Jimmy Van Heusen and Sammy Cahn and most famously performed by Sinatra and Bublé), I just thought @BBinMiami was saying it was coming today.
I love your play on the lyrics! Have had the actual song in my head since I saw this post this morning!
This is getting very boring. I wish they hadn’t told us about this so early so we wouldn’t be so anxious.
Being anxious is the whole point my friend! :-)
14 days since this came out… sure it wasn’t a false alarm?
How would it be a false alarm? Rovio gave no ETA for this update. Just said what the title would be.
And actually the waiting time is not unusually large but, let’s say, normal. For the Year of the Dragon update we waited ~19 days after the announcement.
Usually we have a estimated release date: for seasons the levels usually come out a couple days before the holiday, and Birdday Party was released on Birdday…
That was not the argument you originally made.
Taking sooooooo long because of bug fixes
Yes, I can’t three star levels because every time I mess up and restart it it crashes. Can’t wait till the update
I can three stars all level (*except the danger zone) even though the app crashes most of the time I restart the level. Your argument is invalid :P
is there new birds and when its going to come out
Nothing that we know of.
Fry Me To The Moon is the next of the Eggsteroid Planet? My friend says it’s Earth.Bigger than all of the planets.
It’s the gift-wrapped planet.
the wait is making too long! Do you have an idea about how much time remains for ths update? It looks great!
come on we have been waiting for. 16 days now u am so eager like a reguler 10 year old would be
Are you saying you’re 10?
If we knew the date of the release, we would say so.
If he’s 10, he’s not old enough to post here. ;-) On another note, I think we should all relax. I am anxious as well, but it is what it is, and wishing it otherwise doesn’t “Make it So.” :-)
{duplicate}
i
am not 10 i am. 18
Oops, Slim, think I “replied” to the wrong post. Sorry.
I agree with both points. I’m waiting patiently. In fact, this time has allowed us to push GE social feature faster.
And I know we all appreciate that. Now…bugging you.. can you check my Danger Zone Badge? JUST KIDDING! I know you’ll get to it.
We all need to understand that patience, although a virtue, is sometimes, well, a PI**. :0) (tried to keep it clean, here)
I had already awarded you that badge.
I guess I didn’t see it until after I posted this. Sorry!
And, thank you (meant to say that in first post)!
Weird. Had comments/replies, now none. Strange.
What do you mean?
My mistake, BL. Didn’t scroll quite far enough. Apologies.
This one is gonna fly me to the moon!!!
Hope the update is coming next week!
how I can put a picture in my profile???
Look here or when you are on your profile site you click: Profile >> Change Avatar. There you have to find a picture and crop it. Completed!
I have 3 stars in danger zone spurs01 and you?
Yes, why do you ask?
thank you @mufc!
@angry-rojas Please use the Reply button to keep threads intact.
hello whats up?
this is a long wait probably because (if you guys remember) Rovio is planning to release non-Angry Bird apps… like about 4 more.
I think they’re only releasing 3 new games this year, and I think that some of them will be angry birds.
Nah… I was meaning to say 5 in total, and the first one is ABSp. The other 4 apps they’re planning/making are not related to Angry Birds. As said from This post from last month
Why don’t the dates that the comments were posted appear with the comments?
They do if you have a account here – if you go to the top right of the page, it will give you the opportunity to register/login, and then the comment dates will show :)
Oh my word! Where is this update?!
The logo just refreshed again in GC, but no new achievements or leaderboards. Could just be a red herring, nothing seemed to come of the last time it refreshed, but it could be a bug fix update…..!
might or might not have something to do with unattainable achievements… gonna check iPhone to see…
Good eyes. Last time only SD updated, but this time both SD & HD did. We actually suspect that either Rovio withdrew their previous version or Apple rejected it. (More likely the 1st one.)
As you said, no new achievements or leaderboards, so it is likely just (many) bug fixes.
Its here, and a free gift!!
the update is out now its so awesome
Really? for PC too?
not yet…iOS devices & Android only
hope coming soon right?
You now get free Space Eagle every day!
But why no new achievements???
What about the bug fixes?
You can now earn the achievement centripetal force
Yep, I got the centripetal force with the first bird on the first level
It’s out on the Android Market/Google play!!! :D
But it’s only 10 levels.
Yes, and I already 3-starred them all, but sorry to say, the new levels are more disappointing than expected.
Ok…..all jokes aside, the levels are exciting. Orbiting pigs!!!! But no update for PC. :(
If you try the space eagle, there is now a a meter to tell you if you destroyed enough structure to get the feather
And on main screen on the Android Market/Gogle Play versoin there are a “Buy the ad-free version”!
Also, I bet no one saw this one. I was playing on my iPhone. If the pig is still in its bubble, and you sent him off the screen with a big boom or whatever, just zoom out. The pig will go out to the edge of the screen, it will stop, then it will pop and you will get the points. I was on level 3-8
