I see scores close to and above 100k. Is that actually possible without using fuse bombbird?

Used a fusebombbird and got a113k score. But I’m unsure if this new bird is considered a power up.

I did get 10 birds for free though, while trying to 3 star this level without its help.

Yeah, I would not consider those scores valid scores. The scores should be achieved with the three standard birds in the level, which are two yellow, then one big bird. I was unable to figure out how people were scoring this high, but I have power-ups and extras disabled, so I don’t get bonus birds or anything of sorts.

curious how we’re going to keep these scores clean if people are using extra birds with higher powers. @amslimfordy, care to chime in?

I don’t believe such scores are “clean”. I will be working hard over the next few days to establish a clear threshold for what’s possible and what’s not. The scores will certainly be removed (along with all other scores in the episode of any offending user).

For anyone who (accidently or whatever) used a PU, I will be more than happy to check your data files to establish what scores are clean and what aren’t.

If you have PUs disabled (front play screen, click the gear, then click the lightning bolt), you are never prompted about PUs.

If you don’t have PUs disabled, you’ll be prompted the first time you play the level, it seems. But if you restart the level, you’ll no longer be prompted.

I know today that I got 79k without Power Ups. But my scores show me 103k. So if I go through it in a couple of weeks again, how shall I then still remember that this was a Rovio forced but still forbidden PU score?

I never used any of them since i have subscribed to ABnest (i sware!

How were you “forced” to use a PU? It’s a choice, something you can decide to use or not. In some levels, this bird is just the standard bird of the level, no other birds are there.

It’s only when you invoke this bird, or any special feature/PU, on top of the available birds that it becomes a unclean score, as you are using an extra capability not part of the intended level.

Rank: Pig Leader with 10760 points
By PdB (@playdbird)Score: 81,500

No, when I was playing the first time through I had no option to turn off the PU, other than to reset, which I did not think to do.
The use of this PU was indeed “forced” in this case, but we are not forced to use the score.
I plan on replaying until I three star it with a non PU score and then enter that.

Actually if you don’t have to PU’s off as mentioned then you do have to accept it and let him come to the sling BUT then if you had hit RESET, then you could have proceeded like normal and not have had to use him which is what I did…He will then be sitting there in the top left corner with 10…then as you play some more & it offers you 10 more. Where again he sits, un-used now with 20.
@amslimfordy – perhaps this is how you could determine if someone used one…if they haven’t then there number of PU Bomb Birds should still have 20 listed with it?

You’re right @lesleyg. I accepted the PU BB, and when the level started with BB in the sling, I reset.

@lesleyg, the problem with seeing a user has 20 PU left to determine if scores are clean or not: I keep fat fingering the reset button and accidentally clicking the PU. Side note: Gaaaaaaw, I hate where they have placed the PU spot!!!

I immediately reset (as I did when this level tried to force it on me), but my PU count keeps dropping. Not intending to use them, I wasn’t worried. I’m just saying it is not a reliable test for a clean score or not.

Why don’t people just turn the PU feature off if they want to be taken seriously here. @furfeather mentioned how much they hate the location of the reset button versus the PU button. If you turn PUs off, this never is an issue. If you turn PUs off, you never get bonus birds inserted in the game, no special PU offers… And @amslimfordy would have a lot less correcting to do.

Since we’re all pretty serious about scores here, why don’t we all turn this feature off and save ourselves a lot of hassle and distress.

1st bird horizontally into the wooden structure. Target score: around 36-37k. The first structure should be cleared except for the stone blocks.

2nd bird into the the wooden “knuckle” just to the left of the platform. This is good for 3600 points.

3d bird into the middle two vertical blocks of the stone pile.

The first shot is the most important. You can still three-star the level with only around 33k after the first shot. Getting over 35k is hard.

First of all I’m not glad with the mess with PU. It’s placed badly, generates erroneous activation. I “lost” 6 extra BBs this way with no intended use of them. One goes by the case and gives 104.580. It will be nice if Rovio made “PU Scores Cleaner” working on demand (@amslimfordy ?).

After other attempts I give a try of @f91jsw method, next I improve it a bit after discover the sense of 2nd shoot. I want to check how much point it gives.

I made this shoot number one. With some practice I can repeat 4.160 many times there. Best was close to 5K (over 4.7K or more). With maximized screen I start from turned off PU area. YB goes to cut pipe alongside, from the node to the end (sometimes made more disaster by bounce). Extra speed for YB is activated little under base of slingshot.

The best score – 84.800 / #7 (I take a PS http://angrybir.de/1im4XPa) but 1st one give 3.6K only – this shows reserve points.

2nd shoot as 1st of f91jsw. From time to time triangle bricks roll to the left, fall, cut pipe and made some points.

3rd have open way to attack the base of tall wall which bend like an arc. Bricks goes far right & made some pipe destruction too. Before 81.830, 81.550 and some 79-80K.

Finally managed 82K + with 1 birdie. YB angled slightly upwards to hit right on the corner point, exactly where rock and wood join. If you hit the wood only, everything will disintegrate but wall won’t fall. If you hit rock only, it wobbles and not very much else happens. It is a hard shot and most times, even when you get it right, grandpa pig survives and ruins everything. I have tried to post a screenshot of the trajectory to help but am not sure how to do it properly. Hope I got it right. By the way, when it does work the wall is fairly slow to fall so wait a bit before resetting.

86110/3 using that terrence likes edges of stones covered by wood:
1st) through middle such that horizontal woods fall on top of each other without breaking;
2nd) topple the tower by a medium high arc, speeding up on descent, toward first vertical stone from top;
3rd) to said edge of leftmost vertical stone on platform covered by wood (roughly 1/3th wood, 2/3th stone). this should make terrence slice through in its usual spectacular fashion, clearing the platform. if you’re lucky debris is sent flying all the way to the pipes.

this is quite repeatable (literally, got 86110 twice :-( ), up to terrence being finicky as usual. if everything comes together this has 90k potential i think (three bird strategies in general; there probably are other ways to make terrence slice through).

up to 88790/3 with the above strategy. for my previous best scores either terrence ended up below (after clearing the platform) or the pipes to the right were damaged. here both were the case, as shown in:

Also, several scores in Angry Birds Fuse I have entered 2 days ago, e.g. 26-12, 26-14, do not show up yet from the outside. Everything is fine when logged in. It seems to affect scores by others as well, since e.g. in the Angry Birds Short Fuse Leaderboard, for this level (25-3) ihatepork’s score is listed as top score whereas your comment below vindicated tns’s higher score. Similarly, in the comments for level 25-12 it appears that grimbley’s score is higher than the listed top score of listed top scorer communistpride.

@amslimfordy: rereading your question i think you probably meant within Angry Birds itself or ABN (not within an ABN app…). sorry for that (and for the ungrammaticalities in the comment and the one above, 1/3th instead of 1/3rd). anyway, the answer is clear i hope, and i also hope the issue can be resolved (should be easy, if it is a real problem at all).

Some details of ABN will run “cached” when logged-in to your account. This is because many features of ABN are only available for registered users. Due to this increased stream of information, some things may appear slightly outdated based on a previous viewing of the site.

“Hard refresh” will force your computer to ignore all cached information on your hard drive. On most browsers, Ctrl+F5 will hard refresh.

thank you for the reply which unfortunately don’t understand exactly. i feel i should, have a degree in cs, but don’t bother and not so relevant as it looks to be ok (up to date) now. although i do think it was a caching issue, i don’t think it was a local one; i make a habit out of clearing caches, cookies, histories etc. and had checked the outdated info persisted even using different devices and different browsers.

@bonneypattycat & @vuelva, even after reading thru all of the above i cannot break 80,000. Bonneypattycat you thank vuelva but i see no strat listed from that user. i know it was a ways back but….any advice? also, i think scoring may have changed after updates!?! crazy making! thanks in advance for any tips you can bestow.

@mars805: although not so prominent (in grey) usernames are present in the comments. mine (@vuelva) is as well, but in my case it’s different from my nickname (to mock a mockingbird), but that nick in turn corresponds well to my avatar (should be to the left of this reply), which shows a mockingbird and pictures are easy to search for.

breaking 80k with my strategy described above is fairly easy, but you will have to repeat until the 3rd slices through (will know what that means when it happens).

For the first bird, when you say to shoot through the middle so that the horizontal woods fall on top of one another without breaking, does that mean the first two horizontal, parallel woods or both sets of parallel woods? I can’t seem to get the shot of all 4 horizontal woods staying in tact. Any suggestions? Thank you for any input you have!! :)

@vuelva Thank you for your brilliant observation that “terrence likes edges of stones covered by wood”! I have never noticed exactly what makes Terrence occasionally slice through, myself – I just thought of it as hitting an undefined sweet spot. Very helpful strat, gave me 88k.

Also have to add my thanks to @vuelva for the excellent description. Terence is definitely uncooperative at times but at least I know where to aim.
I used a fairly flat shot with the 2nd yellow to knock down the tower, and got a bit lucky when a piece of stone was blasted by the TNT over to damage some pipe on the left.

Just a note from the staff.

Current top score from @tns747 of 87,520 is clean. Data files were submitted and confirmed.

Impressive!

@amslimfordy: what about the current top three (88990-89010)? could certainly be legit, but it would somehow surprise me if all three are. in any case, would be interested to know how these have been obtained.

If you run the yellow bird through the pigs above the grey blocks first, it opens up the whole brick wall so you don’t have to be so precise with the yellow bird hitting the ammo boxes.

Just got 90,990 with @vuelva‘s method! Aimed second Chuck a little flatter and Terrence a little higher, and he sliced right through the remaining concrete.

The leaderboard cap is prohibiting me from entering it, though. Here’s a pic of the score:

@admins – Why was my score removed when I had provided a legitimate screenshot? I went ahead and entered it again with no problem; I just hope I can keep it.

Looks like you beat me by ten points, @nikosb! I don’t see a comment from you here, so would you care to share your strat?
