Angry Birds twitter.
No idea if you can install it on more than 1 PC though.
They ought to get themselves a cloud (call it a "Nest" or something) where people can store and sync their progress across platforms.

I wouldn't go that far, but it's a pretty cool game nevertheless. The first Angry Birds felt like a flash title...this one feels like something designed for iOS. Sharper graphics, cool physics, more challenging....definitely worth a purchase.

Congratulations, you really deserve it!
This game is awesome. I think any game with cool gravity elements is awesome.

Didn't spot this posted - Angry Birds Space not being published on Windows Phone :|

I want to see some download figures. According to Yahoo, they're nearing a billion downloads for the franchise and Rovio is now worth £5.6 billion.
Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit.

If nokia lumia 800 is any indicative of windows phone performance, they can crash and burn for all I care. It's horrible, mean, unintuitive, restrictive and pretty much a disaster. come on, it's like you can have full compatibility with windows/microsoft applications and yet they chose a draconian path for every single operation you have to do. Horrible

Rovio saying it's not worth the effort to support Windows Phone speaks volumes.

"Rovio has pulled no punches in its targets for the Angry Birds franchise. It no longer considers itself a game company, and hopes to grow larger than media behemoth Disney in the near future."
oh dear lord
A fad? A bubble? Angry Birds is as much of a fad as Mario. Angry Birds is one of the most popular and most significant video game franchises in existence today. And it is here to stay.
It is easily THE handheld game franchise of this era, it is to today what Tetris was to handheld gaming 20+ years ago.
For fucks sake don't tell him that the company is actually worth nine billion dollars. That could lead to an aneurysm.
I'd say Rovio has been doing pretty good job at managing the Angry Birds brand so far.
The animated series they're doing for Nickelodeon will probably be the next big thing.

Yup. Crazy they aren't even going to bother.
Well it has what, 1%-2% market share? Makes sense.

Well, it's just over two years old at this point. I think it needs to stick around for a couple years longer before people accept this as a permanent fixture in pop culture.
How is the difficulty curve on this game? I felt it was done perfectly in Angry Birds, whereas Angry Birds Season played like they had slapped together a random series of levels with no regard for difficulty (e.g. 1st level - easy, 2nd level - incredibly difficult, 3rd level - easy, etc.).
How's this one?

I respect your opinion and at the same time respectfully disagree with everything you said. iPhone to WP7 convert here.
I'm a WP7 fan and I totally understand the reasoning. The platform just doesn't have the amount of users and support for different game engines needed to make such a thing possible.

The first tier of planets is pretty easy except maybe 1 or 2, about half way through the 2nd tier and it's starting to get much harder to get 3 stars on a level. It seems to be following a natural progression.

I haven't played an Angry Birds game in a bit. What are the black eagle feathers for? Both planets show that I have 0/30 for those feathers.

It would be hilarious to see this game get an XBLA or PSN release, so the "phone game" haters could eat some delicious crow.
I think this franchise is pretty much brilliant, and this game more so than all the previous iterations. This feels like the first true sequel to the original, and it's just so polished and well thought out.
I love the gravity mechanics, and the execution just seems so intelligently done. Can't wait to see how difficult things get later on.

It'd be pretty terrible. Angry Birds isn't very fun without a touch screen.

I don't remember the PC version being all that well received.

Nice. That is a sorely needed feature.
Between 3 iDevices, I get tires of booting up the game only to find out that I started playing on something different.

There are millions of Angry Birds toys as is, wasn't the #1 most wanted toy last christmas some angry birds thing? I can't imagine how big it will blow up if the animated series takes off.
I still am suprised how huge it is with kids. I always thought it appealed to the more casual gaming adult set who play Words With Friends. I can't recall any other puzzle game being big with kids like this.

Is this game a puzzle game?
I wasn't a big fan of Angry Birds - it never clicked for me.
but I tried this new one and it seems more interesting. Only played the first 11 levels but I like the multiple body gravity mechanic.
the complex orbits you can make with the birds and multiple planets is cool.
I still don't like the noises the pigs and birds make, though. eh.

How isn't it a puzzle game? You have to figure out how to destroy a particular contraption and knock down all the pigs in it with only 3 birds. You do this with a bit of trial and error and some understanding of the physics in the game.
Boom Blox was a puzzle game wasn't it?

So Wii U, 3DS and Vita then?
I'm a WP7 user and I agree as well. Good thing I have an iPod 4g!

So what makes this different from Rio and Seasons exactly? This one certainly looks more intriguing than the other 2 "sequels"
I'm surprised Sony didnt try and get this on the Vita
Every puzzle that involves trial and error sucks. I don't see angry birds as a puzzle game.
What genre do you think it is then?
Personally, I'd say it was a 'Dynamic Action Puzzler'.
that's a ridiculous requirement.
shit, I loved portal and portal 2 puzzles. a lot of those required trial and error and experimentation with the tools provided to the player.
Most people can't work out the outcomes of multiple chain reactions in their heads before committing to an action.
I dunno, I just don't think it's a pure puzzle game. It's more than that.
Portal 1 and 2 were very logical, I never seen a puzzle there that involved trial and error, the puzzles (specially in 1) could be solved in many ways, but the logical thinking to solve them was almost the same.

Er... isn't trial and error fundamental to figuring out ANY puzzle? lol

My guess is that they want to wait for WP8 since WP8 will be based off Windows 8.

I can't even get 3 stars here.
I refuse to advance until I do so.
Edit: Minus app copies the entire folder Link..Easy sharing my ass.

Trial and error is central to puzzles though...
