I love waking up in the morning to see the community abuzz with news of a brand new release. Today is one of those days, as the Angry Birds Space Fry Me to the Moon (v1.1.0) update has landed on iOS and Android via Google Play and Amazon AppStore, with other platforms coming soon.
Update for PC: “Fry Me to the Moon” is now available in the Angry Birds Shop! If you are having difficulties with the in-app updater, you can manually update your app by going to download.angrybirds.com and clicking “Download Free Demo”.
Warning for Mac: Now available in the Mac App Store, but do not update!!! According to @sal9, the update both erased his previous progress AND won’t save new progress! Rovio was made aware of this issue, and encourage you to backup your progress and do not update until Rovio releases a further update. Update v1.1.1 is now available and all appears to be well again.
Update for Playbook: Now available in the App World.
This update includes new levels and a bunch of bug fixes, which we’ll delve into below:
- Fry Me to the Moon includes 10 new levels in episode 3 that have the pigs orbiting around planets!
- Looks like there is one new Eggsteroid to be found
- No sign of additional Fry Me to the Moon levels down the road, but you never know.
- 20 Free Space Eagles includes in this update
- Receive one free Space Eagle for playing each day
- When you activate the Space Eagle the “Feather Meter” now shows up in the top right hand corner of the level while playing. This means you can see you destruction progress while you play!
- Centripetal Force achievement fixed (I got it on my first show in level 3-1)
- Bug fixes, with the major ones address crashes on older devices (we will try to verify what all has been fixed)
- “Coming Soon” planet updated to show a pig eating a donut, though not sure what to make of this yet. Also includes the word, “Free”.
- No new achievements in Game Center.
- In level 3-10 you get to destroy the Space Needle!
Massive List of Bug Fixes:
- 4th-gen. Crashing Fixed: Most likely the biggest issue, 4th-gen. iPod Touch users should be in the clear now!
- Bug 38 Fixed: It correctly takes around 100 birds flung out of gravitational fields to earn the “Gravitational Escape” achievement.
- Bug 39 Fixed: Users should get credit for “Where No Birds Have Gone Before” after purchasing Danger Zone.
- Bug 40 Fixed: Achievements earned offline now register correctly upon reconnect.
- Bug 41 Fixed: This has been fixed two-fold. Foremost, the score that tallies when setting a new highscore stays your highscore. Also, all scores are multiples of 10, as they should have always been. Woot!
- Bug 42 Fixed: “Feather Picker” now registers correctly upon earning 50 feathers.
- “Centripetal Force” Fixed: While it was not added to the bug list originally, it is now pretty easy to earn this achievement.
Active Bugs:
- Bug 37 Partially Fixed: “Pig Bang Score Addict” correctly registers when surpassing 1.9M points in Pig Bang. However, there are still reports that it can register if the user surpassed 1.9M in another episode.
- Bug 43 Still Active: “Menu Popper” still does not appear to work.

Ya know,what I saw on v.1.0.0 already hat the moustache pic in that exact spot.
When will the upgrade be available for kindle fire?
Already is, via Amazon Appstore.
how do i get it i already purchased the app when it first came out, the 2.99 version (hd) so do i have to purchase again, i dont see an option for upgrade
If you go the Amazon AppStore, there should be an option to update apps (free)
Kinda sucks Rovio hasn’t yet added Danger Zone for Android
Agreed.
Probably part of the “Free for Samsung Galaxy devices for 3 months” idea.
Rovo had made angry birds space pemium for google play.its 99 cents.no ads!!!!!!
That was part of the original release.
Anyone got the Menu Popper achievement?
No. Is it still bugged?
I do
Finally the update is out! And no DZ or ME for Android. :(
Just glad that we can get a free Space Eagle each day :)
Me too, glad Rovio is hearing us out :)
Yeah! How come in the pics Danger zone is not after or before fry me to the moon?
Danger Zone was moved to “after Eggsteroids”, probably since it is not available on all platforms.
I wish this update will land on PC.
Patience.
Please don’t reply to me Slim >:(
Excuse me?
HAHA. Not a big fan of slim?
gosh, i’m trying to get past these levels, but the low framerate f my device is nervewrecking!
Anybody know “what if you purchased it on Amazon”? It only updated in the Google Play store & that would mean that I’d have to purchase it twice AND possibly/probably not have my work from the other 2 planets transfer over.
Patience. It will arrive on Amazon soon.
Thanks, Slim. I was just nervous that it wouldn’t go to Amazon.
@concretebrunette I guess that Amazon users get to wait since we got the Rio updates a bit early. It is hard to wait, isn’t it? I keep refreshing my apps, and everything else needs to update, but not Space so far :(. I still need about 35k for Danger Addict, so at least I have something to do while I wait. Hang in there!
All right, this is what i’ve got:
1: 36040 = 3*
2: 63310 = 3*
3: 43050 = 3*
4: 85990 =3*
5: 46050 = 2*
6: 57640 = 3*
7: 120250 = 1* (monster level)
8: 44770 = 1*
9: 105330 = 2*
10: 130280 = 3*
Thanks! I’m working on posts now; leaderboard next.
Also, the new eggsteroid is labelled 6 so I guess the galaxy note is not considered 6 anymore.
that one is now labelled E-S
we were doing some more on this: https://www.angrybirdsnest.com/forum/discussion/1009/angry-birds-unconfirmed-three-star-minimums
111560 is 3 stars for 9…
139430 is 3 stars, 127000 is 2 stars
Sorry, for level 7. Level 8, 51570 is 2 stars
60520 is 3 stars for 8
I already finished all .. But I stucked on one star my score on this level is 79 540 ??? Any advice … Please a I Ned help!!!
Check the walkthrough pages.
Hi….!!! Never mind I Got it 3 stars on all 10 new levels …!!! … but !!! Even that the green notice on the bottom right come in up and said this ” 3 stars Achivement Gained ” . I went to check on GC. To Achievements does not listened!!! It is normal or I am missing that ; even on the Leaderboards on GC is not listened too.!!! So I am missing that… !!! Dear Slim if you see this posting or anybody that knows this happenstance ; let me know ,,, okay. Thank you.. At first I am very happy . 3 starred en finished.
Perhaps it grabbed an old achievement. There were no new ones in this update.
It seems to be a nice mini-episode! I´m looking forward to the pc release of it.
I really wonder what they do with the “Coming Soon” planet. I personally dream of a leveleditor so that you can share levels with other players.
That’s correct. It’s the moon that belongs to the planet Cold Cuts (same layout, same background etc.) Maybe the other planets will also receive such mini moon episodes?
Yay! Just updated on Google Play, ready to tackle the new levels. No new achievements provably because they fixed 1 or 2 of them.
Just curious, which platform(s) do you play AB on?
I thought you switched from pc to ipad.
The Feather Meter is really a nice improvement.
Another “extra”: on the level selection menus, a feather will be attached to the levels on which you used space eagle and the size of the feather is proportional to the percentage of destruction achieved ( 100% full size; 95% slightly smally ans so forth )
Hrm… I’m not convinced this is a good plan. Seems confusing, if you consider 99 vs 100.
It is already confusing a few, me included.
It’s work in progress, Rovio got some heat with SE pricing.
At least they try to improve things where they can, we can give them that.
ps: this new feature is part of this update btw.
To illustrate: Screen Shot ( 1,2 and 5 100%; 4 99% )
Small correction: It seems that there are only two sizes. Full size feather for completion and one smaller size for incompletes.
Hrm… Again, not sure how much confusion this is going to cause, but interesting concept.
I cannot confirm this. I have used some Space Eagles in different levels where I have not earned the feather yet. But on the level select screen there is no smaller feather.
Really? There is for me (not that I have that many feathers or attempts) but those where I haven’t yet got 100% I have a smaller feather. I’m not convinced they’re proportional though, I think it might be size bands, perhaps 0-48, 50-99, 100 or something.
Sorry, now I see the small feather as well. I can confirm that there are only two sizes of feathers. Big feather for 100%, small feather for 1-99%.
This “extra” did confuse me when viewed the initial time.
It gave the impression that a full feather was earned.
Had to go back into the level to verify if it was 100% or less.
The size factor was not pronounced but noticeable upon further review.
Does anybody know the sense of those small feathers?
As in the reason? No, I’m not sure.
Yes I mean the reason. The small feather does not help at all. For me it’s completely useless.
Where is new golden eggsteroid?
3-10, right below the slingshot. Fling and redirect Laser Bird.
Thanx. Got it.
I am working on updating the Eggsteroid guide now.
About the only new Eggsteroid in this update, it’s based on Pong! I wonder why they used 04-01 on that Eggsteroid?
i already beat it, i wish there were more levels for “fry me to the moon”
This was definately a nice surprise to wake up to. Hey @amslimfordy. Is there any word yet about what exactly happens to the free DZ for Samsung users?
I know you’re busy right now. So feel free to postpone your response.
Tip: Sometimes two pigs will have an antenna cap. If one of the pigs is moving around, when you pop the matching pig it will fall out of the sky.
The content of this update caught me off guard, and I can’t say I’m very happy with it. If I want to try to hit moving targets, I’ll play some game other than Angry Birds. Hopefully this particular aspect doesn’t become a staple of future updates; I’m tolerant of the occasional level with moving pigs, but whole episodes of it are not enjoyable to me.
That’s what I also thought at the beginning, but after trying to 3-star every level I realized that the “moving targets” just add more puzzle complexity. In the majority of the levels the optimal solution is to throw your bird at very specific angle and exact moment. If you try to randomly hit moving targets you are doing something wrong.
That said I really enjoyed this update even if it was a bit small! :-)
Oh, I certainly agree that there are clear strategies to devise in these levels. The main issue for me is that I don’t like having to time my shot; I really prefer being able to take time to scope out the puzzle and get the aim just right. That’s especially true when there are, for example, a couple of pigs moving out of sync with each other, and their optimal alignment comes twenty seconds after the level begins. That’s very annoying to me.
Destroy the space needle? And just when it was turning 50!
I can confirm that the “where no bird has gone before” bug is fixed. I purchased DZ some time ago and did not have the achievement but it is there as of today’s update.
Thanks @PlayDBird. Before I mark it as confirmed, can I ask you a follow-up question? Were you affected by the “Offline Achievements” bug to your knowledge?
Could you describe it Slim? Not sure I know what it is?
I am rarely offline while playing AB so I’m not sure I’ll be able to help, but I’ll try.
OK, equivalent question: Do you know which achievements popped up basically immediately after you updated your app?
I’m sorry – I noticed some did, but I did not pay attention.
Was it a big list, or only about maybe 1 2 or 3.
Just a few – three tops – that I can confirm.
I can say that all the achievments that are listed are the ones I’d expect, as are the ones that are missing (yet to be achieved by me). The only one that’s mystifying me is the menu popper or whatever it’s called. I know I’ve popped a lot of pigs on the various menus so I thought I’d have that but I don’t even see it.
@AMslimfordy I dont know if this is relevant to your question or not , but I had the “Centripetal Force” achievement pop up as soon as I updated
OK, thanks DBird. Hopefully we have a few other people confirm this as well :)
Thanks kevin, we have that one listed.
Hey Slim, I was affected by the “Offline Achievements” bug. As soon as I opened the game, 24 achievements popped up from the bottom right corner.
How can I update Angry Birds Space? I don’t see any update button :/
what platform are you on? :)
PC
Oh I read it isn’t out for PC yet :(
Now that’s what I call a birthday present, although a little late sine since yesterday was my birthday, but a present nonetheless!
I love that you now get a space eagle for free every day. :)
Did anyone saw, that you save an egg with an antenna, at the end of the update. Watch it in 3-10. Could this be a new playable character in next update?
The Episode Selection planet is smaller than Danger Zone and it only has 10 levels… I wonder if this is the first in a mini-series
makes sense why there are few levels…moons are smaller right?
also i think that Rovio is toning it down with the # of levels right?
Well, this stinks for me since my device isn’t compatible with Google Play.
When does Space will be available for symbian devices…?
Rovio has not confirmed Space will even be out for Symbian, but it may, since AB:Space recently came to the Playbook.
Rovio has not said IF it will be available for Symbian, so WHEN is a different question.
Finaly.This is awesome!!!
Looks to me like they fixed the “quick count” issue that I had been having on some levels of space. Now we just need to add the fast forward option that ABO has so when there are obviously no more points to be gained the user can skip right to the level complete screen.
thank god they fixed crashing on ipod touch 4g. i am so relieved!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I know! Finally, I can actually play for more than 5 minutes without a crash!
Mine still crashes every once in a while – do you see this?
