Just last week, the Samsung Mobile Youtube channel posted the
first true gameplay video of Angry Birds Space, the highly anticipated
sequel to the smash hit (pun alert!) mobile game Angry Birds.
If we are to just take whatever the video has shown, nothing much has
changed in terms of objectives: You still have to fling a bird out of a
slingshot and cause as much wanton destruction on those pesky green
pigs. But it seems that Finnish developer Rovio has pushed the gameplay
even further by adding a few more obstacles, physics, and mechanics that
will provide a new challenge even for seasoned players, who pretty much
have three-star marks in their playthroughs of the series' previous
games.
The level featured, which was set to be a
Samsung Galaxy exclusive, showed much of the game's restructured
dynamics that added more to the previous' simple, yet enormously
addictive, smash-'em-up gameplay. As we all know, the setting is in
outer space, so the in-game physics are now greatly different. For one,
gravity is now dictated by moons/planets that hover around the
playfield, which requires to player to explore different trajectories to
get that coveted one-shot finish.
The bird used
was something that resembled the shape of what the fans know as the
Yellow Bird (only, in this case, it looked purple). Players will
remember that the Yellow Bird had a triggerable rush that required a
well-timed click or touch to hit its mark. Now, as seen in the video,
the rush ability has a targeting function that homes-in on where the
player wants. One can say that the new feature lessens the challenge
factor experienced in the first game. But given the new environmental
physics, it could just be a welcome addition to even out the playfield.
