The Daily - Birds in Space
On March 14, 2012, The Daily uploaded a free app that acts as an official companion to the game. The guide contains detailed information on the creation of the game, new characters and other information.
A THIN LINE
March 14, 2012 also saw the press release of a new collaboration between MTV's A THIN LINE anti-cyber-bullying campaign and Angry Birds Space. Once the game is launched on March 22, 2012, players who post a positive message to the Draw Your Line app will receive a hint as to where to get a code that opens a secret golden egg level. Additionally, an anti-cyber-bullying PSA featuring the Birds will be released that day. [2]
Story
From The Daily - Birds in Space guide, a rough overview of the story was revealed:
One day, the birds were taking care of the eggs and a mechanical claw grabs the Birds' eggs and they follow it through a wormhole to arrive in the world of Space. There, some gain new powers or equipment. They meet Ice Bird, convinced he can help them get home, but Ice Bird is only concerned about saving his world from the Space Pigs and retrieving the Eggsteroid.
Space Pigs are the Bad Piggies, outfitted with new equipment allowing them to survive in Space and brandishing new challenges to the Flock, including the Space King's UFO (which houses the aforementioned claw) and the enormous Fat Pig.
Gameplay
The game features a new Gravitational Field that will alter the Bird's direction when shot, making the game more difficult. However, there are small "dots" portruding from the Bird on the slingshot showing which direction the Bird will go depending on the altitude and power of the shot.

Characters
For more information on the characters from Angry Birds Space, see: Space Characters
- Super Red Bird (Red Bird)
- Lightning Bird (Blue Birds)
- Lazer Bird (Yellow Bird)
- Bomb Bird (Black Bird)
- Terence (Big Brother Bird)
- Atom Bird (Orange Bird ) (Updated July 26, 2012)

Episodes
Fact 1: Excluding Eggsteroids and the Danger Zone, all the episodes have BLUE gravitational force fields.
Fact 2: Like Angry Birds & Angry Birds Seasons, you get a special item based on the episode in a bubble when you get 3 stars on ALL the levels of an episode. Unlike Angry Birds & Angry Birds Seasons, you get another special item, which is 3 feathers in a bubble, from an episode when you get 100% Space Eagle Destruction on ALL the levels of an episode. Behind the feathers will be a glowing colored background. Unlike the bubbles containing carrots, beats (raddishes), and pigs, Special Item Bubbles sparkle when they are popped.
Fact 3: In the newest update in Angry Birds Space on July 26, 2012, your special item bubbles that you've obtained by getting three stars on all the levels of an episode (excluding the Danger Zone) have disappeared. To get them back, you must have 3 three stars on all the levels PLUS you must get 3 stars on all the Space Egg Bonus Levels in an episode as well. Therefore the number of stars required to get the special item bubble for the Story Episodes have been changed. Good luck, you'll need it, because those Space Egg bonus levels are going to be very tricky to get 3 Stars.
(Note: There are no special item bubbles in the Eggsteroids Episode)

Trivia
- The pigs have their Google Chrome sprites, with a few added frames.
- In Angry Birds Facebook, one golden egg is based on Angry Birds Space.
- Angry Birds Space is the only Angry Birds game to have more than one interactive screen. In both the menu and the title screen, you have the option to pop pigs, and other objects such as ice balls.
- The Birds are based on DC and Marvel superheroes
- In Angry Birds Space, the game devolpers created the Pigs to become more responsive to certain reactions and death and near experiences such as: acting frightened when falling blocks or a bird comes near, a eating animation (added in Utopia update), and sleeping along with, yawning when the birds don't approach the Bad Piggies. This even happens when you first start a level(and occasional giggling).
- In Angry Birds Space V. 1.2.2, the backgrounds of the levels have been changed a bit.
