Rovio has thanked and is rewarding fans of the bird flinging series by releasing a free level pack for gamers to enjoy as well as “20 free space eagles on iOS”.
If the reader has not played, heard or not stumbled upon the phenomenon that is Angry Birds, chances are that he was either abducted by Kony during his childhood, has been living under a rock, or does not know what a Smartphone or the internet is (We only sympathize if the first is true).
The Angry Birds games have been downloaded almost a billion times across nearly every platform and by every platform we literally mean every single platform imaginable. The game is available on Smartphones, be it Android or iOS, on tablet PCs, internet browsers, home consoles, portable consoles. In essence if its electronic, has a screen and can run software then chances are that Angry Birds is available to play on that platform.
The latest instalment in the immensely popular series is titled, ‘Angry Birds Space’ and changes things up from the usual formula that gamers have come to know and love by tinkering with gravity, which makes sense seeing how the game takes place in, wait for it.... space.
The ‘Fry me to the Moon’ level pack brings in 10 new levels to the latest iteration of the series and the best bit is that gamers can download it for free. However, Rovio warned gamers that the difficulty setting has been increased for these particular maps and teased, “If you thought it was hard to pop pigs in space before, just wait till they’re orbiting around the icy planets.”
One can safely deduce that the map pack will change gameplay up a bit and add a nice new twist to the constantly evolving series.
As for the free space eagles, Rovio continued, “As a thank you to our fans for 20 million Angry Birds Space downloads in the first week, we’re also including 20 free space eagles on iOS."
Gamers will be limited to claiming one space eagle a day for 20 days but the fact that they are free should more than make up for it.
