Looks like Stella was released this morning. Tired to load it to my iPad from the App Store through the Search function and it did not find the game.
Then started to play AB Free and an advertisement came up […]Bird Leader wrote a new post, Angry Birds Stella is Out Now! Fling Your Way Across the Golden Island 7 years, 4 months ago
[video_embed id="xDADCXFdj5A"]
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!

@sglouk what does NaN abrreviation stand for?

As much as i can see there is only option to sign in via FB, so it is probably possible to sync progress between all devices, no matter of platform (like in ABF).

@dseufert Until he responds, I removed the score. Very likely a typo.

Thank you so much for sharing your alternate 2nd bird shot, @swelld!! The swirl didn’t seem to match up, but it didn’t take too long (or, more likely, luck) to land Terrance on that horizontal stone plank just right.

Hello, My name is Sparty83 and I have a problem.
I am addicted to Angry Birds. I play more than I should. I ignore chores that I need to do so I can play a level “just one more time”. I have ignored others to play Angry Birds. I have “canceled” activities that I once would never think of missing so I can play Angry Birds.

Sorry, couldn’t resist.. I see you edited it, but it was still funny.
