If you thought Rovio was running out of ideas for Angry Birds, think again. Rovio recently teamed up with NASA to offer Angry Birds fans, a Curiosity Rover-themed episode of Angry Birds Space. Players will be thrown into Mars where they will launch birds at pigs while learning more about Curiosity and its mission on the Martian landscape.

Gamers will have 20 levels to play around with, but those levels do not include taking Curiosity for a spin on Martian soil. 

Android and iOS users can jump right into the Curiosity-themed Angry Birds Space game after the update, which is available for download now. Windows Phone users have been left out of the festivities.
