NASA collaborated with Finnish company Rovio on the new version of Angry Birds, the popular game that has reached approximately 700 million downloads. With the new version “Angry Birds Space” players can learn about physics and space exploration in a fun way, David Weaver associate administrator for communications at NASA Headquarters in Washington said “Games are fun and entertaining, but they also can be inspirational and informative”.In this version the developers have incorporated the concepts of weightlessness of space and gravity wells of nearby planets. NASA released a video in which the astronaut Don Pettit on board the International Space Station explains microgravity, something that players will have to take into account to catapult the birds in the game.
The marketing director of Rovio, Peter Vesterbacka, said “We focused on every detail in development of Angry Birds Space to build a special experience for our fans”. Angry Birds Space is coming to IOS, Android, PC and Mac on March 22nd and it will feature 60 new levels and 6 brand new characters. A collection of 30 extra levels "danger zone" will be released as an in-app purchase.
