Now that the Curiosity Rover has landed on Mars, we can get a firsthand look at what truly is happening on the Red Planet. Angry Birds Space v1.3.0 has landed for iOS, PC, Mac, and Android via Google Play and Amazon Appstore. Don’t let the descriptions in the video confuse you: Even though Rovio reported (and continues to report) that the planet is “Coming this Fall“, apparently the seasons in Finland are a bit different than elsewhere in the world.
Attention Amazon Users: We have reports that the faultiness of Amazon versions of Angry Birds has continued. Most of our reports are from Kindle users, who are being promoted that installing the new update will remove all previous data. Proceed with caution, or hang tight, or back up your data using our complete guide.
Nonetheless, this is a very welcome surprise! This update includes:
- 20 “Red Planet” levels, featuring loads of fire, steam geysers, and more! Be careful of the geysers, as they sort of alter the gravity in those areas. Note there is another page, so 10 more levels coming soon!
- 2 “Space Egg” levels, for 3-starring each of the first two pages of “Red Planet”. There will be 1 more Space Egg level when all is said and done with the Red Planet.
- 3 “Golden Eggsteroids”, though they are actually “Golden Rovers” based on real-life Mars Rovers. If you want to be educated further on these, check out these links to the Viking, the Sojourner, and the Opportunity rovers.
- A new Astronaut Pig, who is very difficult to pop.
- One new achievement for iOS: Great Balls of Fire! Goodness Gracious! (Thanks to @PlayDBird and @Dr-Omega for this.)
Below are some helpful links:
- Red Planet 3-star walkthrough posts are live!

- Check out our brand new Space Eggs Guide for those super challenging levels!
- Enter your scores on the Space leaderboards!
how about a bonus level for feathering all levels in an episode! would be helpful cause sometimes i dont wanna feather all levels because it doesnt bring me anything! a bonuslevel would be a big motivation!
That’s a really great idea @andreas189! A bonus feather for each episode completed with all feathers. The feather can be on the same screen as the 3-star bonus level and any golden eggs.
Though the problem is, some platforms don’t have ME and/or SE.
thats not a problem! rovio also made a facebook game with unique levels!
Yes you’re right Andi :-)
I do like the idea, but Space Eagles are quite costly.
Agreed. You don’t have to pay for Facebook.
really cool update! I’ve been strugglin with levels 16 and 18. any pointers?
nevermind. finally got it.. :)
What a stunning graphics, beautiful design, graeat game play. I love it!
”Note for PC users: Most people have not been notified by the in-game updater. Instead, go to download.angrybirds.com and click on “Download Free Demo” on Space to get the newest .”
This is for the seasons version, not space
Yeah, I had no problem updating Space.
Well I had no problem with my Space, but is Back to School already on PC? If it is, then I’ve not been notified yet.
I had the same thing happen to me. I even closed and opened Seasons a few times and still no prompt for update. I just downloaded the demo version again and the new version was installed.
Between the gravity and the geysers this is a very challenging level to get your birds to go where you need them to. Add in the exploding firebomb asteroids and you’ve got an update that will keep you busy for a long time! And…no power ups! :-)
I was wondering how long it would be before someone was glad to see that there were no power ups!
Maybe they did hear the outcry and are trying to find a solution. I bet they install them eventually, as it is a revenue stream. BUT, the Space Eagle is already a built in money maker.
When we get the final 10 levels I assume there will be an additional Golden Rover level for Curiosity.
Will there be a Golden Rover for Spirit, which was a sister rover to Opportunity and landed at the same time in 2004?
And thinking a few years out, assuming we are all still playing Angry Birds, a new lander was just approved for a 2016 launch to Mars.
I just got this update via the Amazon Appstore, if anyone was wondering when it would be available there
I love those hot air geysers because they make a lot of new great puzzles and levels possible, and the new Rover levels.
Hint for PC versions: Go to {the data files}. you can see 4 rovers there, 4th being Curiosity.
Hi : Lilonow; would you please post an screen shot of the 4 Rovers. Because I do not have a PC I do have a Mac ; but I do not have ABSpace. And I am very curios of see it that thank you.
Sorry, we can’t let people post data files.
you just have fear of having material stolen from this site. u just need to make it jpgy and add the site url at the bottom right of the pic
Not true. They aren’t our files to post.
Hope then there was no problem for me to saying it here!…
Saying it exists is fine. (We did the same thing with the Orange Bird in Space.) Just no links ;)
cool but is it coming out for the kindle fire
Coming soon.
It’s actually available for Kindle Fire now but it’s doing the same thing as last time where it’s saying you would have to reinstall the program and lose all your progress to get it.
@AMslimfordy It is available for Kindle but you have to “replace”. I think I’ll wait this time. I believe you have been on vacation so welcome back.
I finish all the levels with 3 stars =) Thanks to youtube.com/AngryBirdsNest
You know.. it’d be nice if Rovio would make levels not end before ME’s finish.. I’ve lost a lot of eagles because the level didn’t wait for my shot to finish…
Also, what the heck? I was able to get all the feathers on previous episodes very efficiently (1-2 eagles per level). Red Planet seems to be taking WAAAAAAY more. Space ME’s are becoming even more of a money grab? Bleh, disappointing choices are disappointing.
I already finished the levels 2day but this was a really awesome update i love the red planet and the golden rovers and 3 star eggs!!! Gr8 job Rovio!!!! Can u tell me wen the pink bird plush will b available??????
Sometime in October. Toywiz.com is already sold out of them, even though they are pre-order.
IMO, this was one of the best episodes in any AB game. I thought Back to School was just awful, one of the very worst updates in Rovio’s history, but they definitely regained my confidence with the Red Planet update. The lava asteroids and the geysers are fun, and you can tell that each level is very carefully designed. I’m glad that they’re still putting effort into updates for the mobile apps.
I agree. The last one and this update are both much fun.
i disagree on back to school sucking i think that update was great the worst update is that piglantis update i think that update was really awful it had no effort put in it and it had nothing to do with summer i love the red planet update but there are 3 flaws one is the name why call it red planet thats just a stupid name the second one is the lava in this update i hate lava it has been in almost evary video game theys days and the last flaw is the new eggsteroid levels i hate them they now are not based on games so i hope the next planet has a better name and adds a new bird white bird and boomerang bird
This update is really fun and interesting concept
I’m happy that they did not add the power-ups to AB Space.
Anyone else seeing inappropriate ads on Android?
If you see something like that, take screenshots and send them to Rovio.
Well, ya sometimes i see ABR canival upheaval ads, sometimes i see ABo with the ME picture beside it. But you can rid those ads by pause the game or buy the remove in app ads
And now, it’s rare. I just saw Indonesian ads
“Ads” for Angry Birds don’t count.
yes like naked women, vodka advertising etc. i saw worse.
A buddy of mine deleted Google Chrome as his browser because whenever he opened it the homepage was google.com and there were inappropiate spanish ads like those you mentioned. Luckily I dont have them :)
released for PC from the first time ?! :O Wow
When next levels will be avible? Anyone know?
seriously? there have been updates each of the last three weeks in the different AB games.
I was just checking the ABSp mobile page and I was checking the “Meet the Flockers” section and noticed there was something wrong with the bomb bird’s sprite…is it just me or did they mess up? Also, I found a glitch on ABO- On the Daily Spinner when I get King Sling, I get the lock-on powerup. And vice-versa. Is this an issue for anyone else?
1) I’m not seeing anything wrong with the Black bird’s sprite on space.angrybirds.com on PC, iPhone, or iPad.
2) This is on the Bug List already.
http://angrybir.de/NKV9zy
The stomach is grey like the ABO,ABS,and ABR sprites, and the flame is missing on his head
Seems minor, but you are welcome to contact Rovio about it. I think that’s how it’s always been.
It is minor- I agree. But and issue is still an issue- my guess is that they uploaded one of the earlier sprites of him from before the release on accident.
I’ve seen several pieces of ABSp merchandise with his gray stomach. Doesn’t really bother me.
Same- I just get a notebook for drawing and writing and noticed it after purchase. But still the flame on his head on the mobile version was shrunken. If you have The Daily: Space Guide app and look at the page showing the evolution of the new sprites, you will see the mobile image as one of the steps in beak evolution. And the final image has the red stomach and large flame on his head. I think he has the same issue as the lazer bird where he sometimes wears his cape and other times he doesnt.
I can only say congrats @ROVIO !!! The Red Planet is fabulous made and the best Epidode ever right now. I hope we get more of these surprises in future (but no Power Ups anymore). Well done really fun playing this Episode !!!
Okay, now this is weird. I just updated Space on my Kindle Fire. I figured I would lose my progress, but I hadn’t gotten very far since the last update wiped out my progress anyway :). I now have the Red Planet, but the Space Eagle is gone. Anyone else have this happen on their Kindle Fire?
@burbman, when you get a chance, would you let me know if you still have the Space Eagle? Thanks :).
@wanda – play through the first part of Pig Bang again. Remember, the space eagle does not show up until about level 10 I think?? When it resets all your scores, you have to re-earn the eagle as well.
You’re right, I forgot the Space Eagle wasn’t instantly available. The good news is that I am getting really good at Pig Bang. :). I also enjoy traveling through the wormholes to the eggsteroid levels!
Thanks for the quick reply, @burbman!
Nice update, the trailer was funny and creepy at the same time.
On a side note, I dislike the fact admins remove some useful things (such are the golden rovers locations by @ncisgrabert) just because “we want to keep them hidden and make players find them themselves”. We’re not a community of “find-out-yourself” players.
That’s not at all what I said. I said in case users want to find them themselves. And there are plenty of users who play that way, myself included.
The comment didn’t point that you were saying that sentence, nor it was a quote.
Quote or paraphrase, it doesn’t matter. You misrepresented my position. I’m simply defending what I said.
The tutorial for Rover 3 is having a problem, the page results in a “Rio” message.
I’ll check this out. Thanks for the report
Should be fixed. Thanks. Had a bad URL in there.
Brilliant. I love Angry Birds AND Sapce! Nice to see the rovers in the game!
The only thing missing from this episode is the bonus 10 SE after 3 starring all the levels. I can always use more SE.
But you haven’t 3-starred the entire episode yet. Only 2/3 of it.
I don’t notified about this update on my game :/ I have the PC version.
Maybe the instructions in this post can help you.
Yes! Thank you so much :)
I was listening the Angry Birds Space sounds in the data of my game and I found a ”boomerang_activate” ”boomerang_select” and ”boomerang_wish”.
These audios sounds like the Green Bird, maybe he will come in the next update of ABS?
Sorry for my bad english.
I don’t think so, but it’s possible, if you look in the data files of AB original you found a sound theme from Pigini beach, and pictures of the ME
yeah it is possible.gr8 observation
That could be true.
If the boomerang bird has come to the ABSp, it will be a little bit tricky to control
Maybe the bird change his power like Yellow Bird did in Space.
But this is only a rumor.
Maybe, but two birds with same power?
When I mentioned the Yellow Bird was an example, again, sorry for my bad english lol
Don’t worry, i’m not great in english too
Green should have a different power like flamethrower? because they’re on mars. The white birds should lay fire eggs or the black hole egg.
This is probably the fifth time I’ve said this, but those sounds are only there because ABSp is a heavily edited and modified version of AB.
Sorry, I did not know that, thanks for the information!
I agree with @angrybirdsfanguy438 , becouse on my Data Files of Angry Birds Space on Mac, I can hear the original sounds of the birds AND the space ones.
Was there something different in the GFX file for the birds? (INGAME_*****.png) Such as new unseen GFX?
I have only one thing that bugs me here: the name. I mean, Red Planet? You could’ve at least called it “Mars” or “Magma Inferno” or something else. And I don’t really know this, but I think most people caught up in these updates forgot about the new AB Philadelphia Eagles game. I almost forgot about it because there were no “Teasers” or “Sneak Peeks” or whatever.
We remember, but haven’t had anything to report really.
Mars and Red Planet are synonyms. Why should the first name be better?
Yeah, the second name is more creative. Anyway, if you look at the mars, it looks red. That’s why it called red planet
Well, yes, but they could come out with a new planet based off an Earthly planet. Would you like it to be called Blue Planet? Or Soggy Hog?
Ok, I’m ready now for a Danger Zone update.
Agreed!!
As it was a ‘paid for extra’, I would hate for it to be left at the existing levels only as I would be left wondering why charge extra just for that.
Game Center has the current achievements listed as Danger Zone 1, so I suspect that in the future there will be an extension to the current Danger zone- either a whole other planet or a separation between DZ1 and DZ2 in the same planet.
Update available on Amazon appstore, but wipes out previous progress (Android 2.3), so I’m waiting until they fix this again.
