Rovio's space-bound bird-flinging strategy game downloaded millions of times over since debut last Thursday.
Rovio's new game Angry Birds Space blasted off last Thursday, and in just three days, the physics-based strategy game tallied a sky-high 10 million downloads.
The official Angry Birds Twitter account revealed the news today, saying, "10 million Angry Birds Space downloads in less than 3 days! Thanks to our fans, stay tuned for more!"
Angry Birds Space is the sequel to 2009's Angry Birds, which has been downloaded more than 700 million times. The new game boasts a fresh setting and new birds and launched on Friday for the PC, Mac, iOS, and Android.

@razgriz_101 Next you'll say you SOMEtimes don't play games and instead stream Netflix or HBOGO on your consoles! What will the so-called hardcore think of THAT? For what it's worth, I agree. Most all gaming is fun, no matter if it means 2 minutes or 2 hours of gaming.
@DrKill09 Its a great game to pass time, much better then everything that came after the original. But they should have waited until they fixed the crashing bug. I'm guessing you're a closed minded hardcore xbox fps gamer. So i don't know why you even clicked on this. Just to bash it?
I downloaded it because I like free stuff. It was fun for the few hours I played. Then it was whatever.
its fun pick up and play, find it hilarious these so called self proclaimed hardcore gamers refuse to pick up the game and bashing it essentially.Sure its simple but its a fun game on a commute and that is why it sells, its simple to pick up and play here and there. Its a fun game who cares.
10 million soccer mom's enjoying Anrgy Birds Space. Sure why not, This is "Artillary" just with birds. A simple concept which Rovio has managed to make a go of.
Hype does miracles right? Just like Justin Bieber, with the right help from the press a few pretty looks you can be famous even being worthless. @Reuwsaat Snake>Angry Birds
at first i thought that this game was pretty decent but then i finish the 2 worlds in the game and click on the 3rd world and they ask me to PAY?!? i payed for the game and they ask me to pay for more if i want to continue and for some reason the 4th world is locked......this is a ripoff,all the birds have the same powers and just look's different.....Rovio are just greedy pigs
1/5 of walmart is angry birds crap. More angry birds crap than mario crap. That's just crappy.
Ahhh bird!! KIll it!! ITS EVIL. One of my favorite lines in the game. But you cant go wrong with.... SPAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACCCCCCCCCCCCCEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Most of those people who downloaded it probably only played it for 10 mimutes but act like they're already played it for a year.
Must...resist...Portal 2....Space...reference...dammit... SSSSSSSSSSSPPPPPPPPPAAAAAAAAACCCCCCCCCEEEEE!!!!!! I'm so sorry.
Hey this was the best way to kill time after i got dragged to hunger games. Rovio saved me from all those siainde pills they call Twilight movies. Their heros for saving us men from fates worse then death.
And now Rovio is once again going to think they are the coolest thing since sliced bread because millions of people downloaded their $1 (or for some people, free) game about flinging stuff at other stuff to play while they take a deuce or sit in class bored. Fantastic.
I download it because it's hip to download Angry Birds and tweet about it. Doesn't mean I've played it for more than 5 minutes.
It's free... Why wouldn't I download it? Doesn't mean I'm a fan, it means I like free stuff.
Rovio's bird-flinging portable super-game franchise reaches new download milestone following March launch of Angry Birds Space.
