@Karen68 – good to know I’m not alone, thanks for your comment ;-))) It is a shame that our devices are becoming out of date already, lol ;) I mean geeshh…I think I got mine only 3 or 4 years ago. I still love […]

@admins – I just wanted to let you know that those of us that have the original iPad can not download the new Stella game. I tried and it said it is incompatible with my device because it requires you to have a […]

@cosmo2503 I would think that using a Telepod would avoid you having to spend coins, but it’s possible this has changed or there is a bug. Do the Telepods unlock different costumes in the scrapbook?

@jet22 Those are how many stars you need to unlock those birds in your line up. I was confused at first too, but if you watch closely you’ll see the total star counter in the top right simply flashes when the bubbles pop and the bird is revealed.

Thanks @josm. Added it to the post.

It’s similar to ABSW II @chriss. The hammer is completely different, so no, those scores aren’t allowed.
Bird Leader commented on the post, Angry Birds Stella is Out Now! Fling Your Way Across the Golden Island 7 years, 4 months ago
This must refer to the coins the float up when you destroy certain pigs, as well as those earned after completing the Wall of Pigs levels.

You can definitely come back later @dseufert.
Bird Leader commented on the post, Angry Birds Stella is Out Now! Fling Your Way Across the Golden Island 7 years, 4 months ago
@leggy I don’t believe costumes change the bird’s ability. The Golden Flower level is level 61, so you have a ways to go yet.
Regarding the scores not showing. I have confirmation that this WILL be addressed […]

I’ve played the game today. It IS fun! Definitely appealing for all ages and genders, even though the cast is mainly female (same can be said with Sailor Moon). Might take some getting used to, but hey!

The wait is finally over — Angry Birds Stella is out now for iOS and Android via Google Play, NOOK, and Blackberry 10 with Windows Phone coming soon! Download the app now and join Stella and her friends Dahlia, Poppy, Willow and Luca in their battle to defend the Golden Island from Gale and her band of portly pigs.
Important! Currently, your score is ONLY shown when you complete the level. In other words, it’s not shown in the top right of the screen like normal. Until this is fixed, I recommend you note your score and grab a screenshot before the level exits. We have informed Rovio of this, so hopefully it is changed.• • •
Let’s jump right into it shall we!
At this time we aren’t exactly sure how many levels there are, but Stella is broken down into two main episodes. In the first episode each batch of levels introduces a new bird and is finished off with a super fun “Wall of Pigs” level. At the end of the first episode there is “Giant Gold Flower” bonus level.
All told, episode one contains sixty normal levels, five Wall of Pigs, and one bonus level — so 66 levels in all. Wow! We will update this as we know more about episode 2, which is Beach Day.
While Stella gameplay is familiar, there are a number of things that take some getting used to. The fact that your highscore is NOT displayed while playing a level is by far the biggest (how do I improve my score or compete against my friends?). I just can’t imagine that was intentional. Anyhow, I digress. The other big difference is that you don’t just tap to trigger a bird’s ability, rather you tap AND hold. While this takes some getting used to — especially with Dahlia and Willow — it’s actually really cool and I find it quite helpful.
It goes without saying, but Angry Birds Stella is story driven, so it follows a more linear path than the other Angry Birds flinger apps. As you progress through episode one each area reveals a new character and their house. Let’s break those down.
Birds + Abilities (in order of appearance)
Stella | Superpower: Pink Flash
She will ricochet off various types of materials, but not all (e.g. glass).
Poppy | Superpower: Tornado Dive
Unlocked after level 12. She goes wild and spins straight down through most types of blocks, but better through wood and glass.
Luca | Superpower: Soundwave Shock
Unlocked after level 23. His sonic blast shatters glass and goes through wood effectively. It doesn’t travel through stone.
Willow | Superpower: Vortex Spin
Unlocked after level 34. As you tap and hold she pivots and upon release she saws through wood and glass like a knife through butter, but they will alter her trajectory. Definitely a bit tricky to get used to.
Dahlia | Superpower: Science-Fu
Unlocked after level 47. This is a neat ability, but also tricky to master at first. The key here is to remember that she will teleport in the direction she is headed. Tap and hold and then release when she’s where you want her.Now that we have Stella and friends out of the way let’s figure out some ways to master the actual gameplay.
Gameplay Tips- As I mentioned above, when triggering a bird’s ability you can now tap and HOLD for a certain amount of time. This allows you to aim more precisely and get an idea of the bird’s trajectory and final destination.
- The total number of stars you’ve accumulated is shown in the top left corner. Earning stars is important as the extra birds in your line-up are unlocked when you achieve a certain number. Without these extra birds you don’t get your 10,000 point bonuses.
- You can bounce off large drums and still use the birds’ ability afterwards.
- Look for sparkling flowers and try to destroy them, as they will earn you 3,000 points each.
Other Useful Info
- At this time we are unsure if there are any hidden items to collect (ala, Golden Eggs).
- The scrapbook allows you to access the characters and costumes you’ve unlocked
- There is a hammer Power Up that is first unlocked on level 13. After using it it takes a certain amount of time for it to recharge or you can spend coins and use it immediately.
- As you enter new areas a smoke screen comes up that forces you to either wait a certain amount of time or spend coins to proceed. See screenshot below.
- Certain pigs release floating coins. Either tap them or simply wait for the bubble to pop.
- Your earn bonus coins each time you beat a Wall of Pigs level. The amount varies by level.
- Starting with level 5 the scores required to earn 1, 2, and 3 stars are revealed and the line up of birds is set.
- No Rovio Accounts option … yet.
- You can connect to Facebook and compete against your friends; however, currently your scores are only shown upon completing a level.
- Game Center support with achievements and leaderboards.
- Let us know if you find any other mini-games, such as the one in the credits that we revealed here.

So there we have it! Angry Birds Stella definitely doesn’t disappoint. It’s a fun new adventure that offers enjoyable gameplay and an immersive story. My only real gripe is that I want it to be easier to see my scores so I can improve them and compete with others! I’m sure you will all agree.
Now it’s your turn. Share your thoughts below? Did we miss something? We want to know that too!

@cosmo2503 I saw this available to download in the Finnish iTunes App Store today. My guess is it’s not yet available worldwide. If you happen to see it pop up please let us know.
