2012-03-23
hello and welcome to tap that app i'm jason parker and this is the show we talk about the hottest apps in the mobile space just about everyone who has a smartphone knows about Rovio's Angry Birds the game where you slingshot birds to destroy structures and try to take out the mean old pigs the game has enjoyed huge success at the iTunes App Store sitting in the top 10 of the paid apps category ever since its launch in two thousand nine today rovio released Angry Birds Space a game that takes the same winning concept but adds interesting twists with gravity fields asteroids and new birds to experiment with in an entirely outer space environment the game starts you off easy so you can get used to the new concept of gravity fields now when you fire a bird towards a planet or asteroid the bird will go into orbit around the object within the gravity field sometimes giving you several chances to hit your targets as you progress through the game the levels get significantly more difficult with multiple gravity fields asteroids that block your path and other interesting objects and obstacles that require some thought before you fling your bird there are 60 levels to play through and some will definitely have you hitting the reset button numerous times to get that perfect shot fortunately on particularly difficult levels you have the option to use the new space eagle the ultra powerful eagle in the original angry birds game is pretty much meant you could beat any level but this new space eagle creates a black hole once you tap the screen and has the explosive power to take out a large area of the level it's still possible to miss some pigs though depending on where you place the space eagle just like the original Angry Birds you can get up to 3 stars based on how efficiently you can take out all the pigs so it's still important to try to get them all in one shot another new addition comes in the form of bonus levels that are nod to classic video games hitting a randomly placed hidden golden egg steroid causes a wormhole that sends you to a special level the level I encountered seemed to resemble classic super mario games once cleared you'll take the wormhole right back to where you left off it's important to note that unlike spin-offs angry birds rio and angry birds seasons well fun we're mostly about putting a new theme in some extra levels on the original angry birds space is a completely new game with new birds new levels to figure out and some secret levels you can warp 2 it's easy to recommend everyone tap this app immediately angry birds space goes for 99 cents for the phone versions on both iOS and Android and 299 for the HD version on both as well that's it for today's show we have any suggestions you would like me to try send them to my Twitter account at Jay Parker Cena i'm jason parker thanks for watching
