Angry Birds Space,
the long-awaited sequel to the award-winning,
best selling iOS game of all time, is set to launch later this month. In
preparation for the event, Angry Birds developer
Rovio has been doing a lot of promotion with NASA, including sending a pair of
iPads up to the International Space Station. Their latest
marketing effort: A zero-gravity live demonstration aboard the International
Space Station.
Astronaut Don Petit stars
in the video. After shooting a plush angry bird across the length of the
station, Petit explains the concept behind weightlessness, and how planets
affect trajectories. That discussion then transitions into shots of actual Angry Birds Space
gameplay. In the game, the motion of the angry bird projectiles will change
based on the location of gravitational bodies.
We're not sure if the
folks on the ISS will be able to spare the bandwidth to get the new game when
it comes out, though we're sure they'd be glad to have something new to play
with to pass the time. For those of us who are Earthbound, Angry Birds
Space will be available for download March 22 on PC, Mac, iOS,
and Android devices.
