Removal from the app stores
In 2019, all remaining Angry Birds games that were released before Angry Birds Transformers (aside from Angry Birds Friends), including Angry Birds Space, were removed from the App Store and Google Play in every country except Zimbabwe.

Story
During a hot day on Piggy Island, the birds task The Blues to take care of the eggs while they have some rest. However, the Blues aren't told to do what they were asked and instead disturbing Bomb with noises. Red and Chuck then get angry because the Blues aren't taking care of the eggs though they are relieved that the eggs are safe. They then remember about the sun protection and then put some hats on the eggs. The Blues purpose giving the eggs some clothing which makes Red annoyed. Suddenly, a warp hole appears from the sky and an alien bird called Ice Bird falls with an eggsteroid. He leaves a crater on the ground by impact. He then returns to his senses and grabs his eggsteroid when all of a sudden an evil laugh is heard and a metallic claw lands grabbing a chunk of soil with the Ice Bird and the Angry Birds' eggs. Furious, Ice Bird goes on the slingshot and passes through the warp hole to retrieve his egg. Soon after, the Angry Birds find out that their eggs were stolen too and they use the slingshot to go through the warp hole and the hole gives the birds special transformations.

The Basics
Gameplay wise, it is almost identical to the previous instalments, but one thing that it introduces Gravitational Fields, which would attract any object and characters to it's center. Think of it as the games' equivalent to the general atmosphere physics.

Space Eagle
Much like Mighty Eagle in the original, you have to purchase him with real money (only 0.99 cents fyi..). However, he doesn't pop all pigs, he is limited use and his way of attack is very different as instead of flying in, he appears from a wormhole and destroys the level after you throw the sardine.

Power-Ups
In later versions of the game, power-ups that can be used to enhance the birds to attack hard-to-reach pigs were added into the game, the types of power-ups includes:


 * A bird multiplier that multiplies your target bird by five.
 * A potion that causes the pig to blow up to the death
 * An egg with the ability to create black holes
 * Green Terence as a superhero
