YMMV / Angry Birds Space

• Awesome Music:
  • The main theme of the game is fairly enjoyable, as it sets the tone for the game well.
  • The boss theme, which is considered one of the best themes from the series.
  • The Pig Dipper menu theme, featuring an Epic Riff that fits perfectly with the chapter.
• Badass Decay: The Space Eagle is certainly not as "mighty" as he was in the original, as he only destroys a small part of the level, as opposed to completely demolishing the entire level.
• Funny Moments:
  • The entirety of the trailer:
    • Red putting little hats onto the eggs is pretty adorable, yet funny at the same time.
    • Bomb’s face when Ice Bird crashes into the earth.
    • The birds (including Terence) scream in a hilariously over the top way when the hats they put on the eggs fall out of the vortex.
    • The birds glitching into their space counterparts while in the vortex, which leaves them completely in shock (except for Terence, who is unfazed, and Jay, Jake, and Jim, who are lovin’ it).
  • The Fat Pig boss fight could be considered this, since he’s so much of a Fat Bastard that he has to be fed inedible objects to be defeated, which consist of birds, asteroids, and burnt popcorn.
    • The cutscene immediately after features said pig shrunk back to normal size, with the birds giving him a collective Death Glare.
  • The environments for Pig Dipper. Not only are they sentient space fish, but they actually react whenever something hits them.
• Game-Breaker: The Wingman, who previously appeared in Angry Birds Friends, reappears in this game having the same abilities as his earth counterpart (as well as Terence in this game) but also having his own gravitational field.
• Heartwarming Moments: In the trailer, whenever the bird’s eggs are accidentally stolen when a space pig was stealing Ice Bird’s eggsteroid, the birds immediately go into the vortex to get the eggs back.
• Nightmare Fuel:
  • An unseen pig’s Evil Laugh whenever he uses his claw to steal Ice Bird and the main birds’s eggs in the trailer.
  • Depending on who you ask, the Space Pig from Cosmic Crystals could be considered Uncanny Valley.
• They Wasted a Perfectly Good Character: In December 2023, there was a massive leak of old and unreleased apps from Apple's TestFlight service, including older pre-release versions of Angry Birds Space. The characters removed from the game are as follows: a blue bird (that many people have initially mistaken for Hal) with an orange and yellow drill for a beak, a magenta egg-shaped bird with an antenna that can attractobjects, and a white version of Bomb that resembles a snowball (an early design for Ice Bird). Why they never made the final cut is unknown to this day.
  • As for pre-existing characters, it is questionable why Matilda and Hal (and Stella a few months after the game's release) never joined the flock in their epic intergalactic battle. Some theorize that is was because their powers needed gravity to function properly, which couldn't work in the game's anti-gravity physics. They eventually get Space-themed designs in Angry Birds Reloaded... as customizable skins - they never appear in the Space level remakes.
