A popular app on both the Apple Appstore and the Android Marketplace (now Google Play), Angry Birds has become a cultural icon for phone games, spawning massive fanbases wearing anti-pig T-shirts and the small fluffy red things.
The newest entry into the series, Angry Birds Space, launched a few weeks ago, and surprisingly didn't contain too many levels. The new mechanics, however, are stunning. The game forces the player to utilize unorthodox methods for destroying their forever-nemisis pigs. Gravity, a key component of Angry Birds, is altered and in some areas completely removed from the game. While it may seem totally representative of "space combat", the birds still succumb to friction when flying through space, with their velocities strangely slowing down despite the total lack of atmosphere.
The game shouldn't take the average player too long to beat, having only two main chapters, with an additional five levels marked "hidden" where the player unlocks them by finding golden eggs hidden in the level. In total, there's somewhere around 50 levels, which is surprisingly lacking considering the average few hundred or so in the other three games. The other games have been available for quite some time though, so expect some additions to Angry Birds Space in the near future.
Have a download link, it's on the interwebz. (It'll cost you about a dollar on the Apple store...or whatever it's called, (sorry!))
