Rovio has unleashed its popular Angry Birds Space game onto various platforms today, including Mac OS X. Mac gamers can download the highly anticipated title through the Mac App Store for $4.99 (or 3.99 EUR).

Angry Birds Space is the latest game in the popular puzzle series from Rovio Mobile Ltd. Featuring beefed-up birds, as well as new ones altogether, the game takes players in a strange new galaxy surrounded by space pigs.

We won’t spoil you the pleasure of finding out how the birds and their eggs ended up above the stratosphere, but you can read the plot right here on Mac App Store Preview, or find out as the game starts up on your computer - your choice.

Angry Birds Space packs 60 brand new “interstellar” levels, new super-powers, hidden bonus levels, nicely rendered backgrounds, and Space Eagles which you can earn (or buy in-app) to wreak havoc on the pigs. The game requires OS X 10.6.6 Snow Leopard to run.
