Angry Birds Space Pig Bang Level 1-14 Walkthrough

Counter-intuition is the best strategy for Pig Bang level 1-14. In this level, it is best to use all three Black birds, so long as you send them into stone diamonds. Launch the first bird into the diamond next to the moustachioed pigs. If only one pigs remains, fire the next bird into stones not near it. Then clear the level with the last bird.

74945 – obtaining 3 stars is very challenging here. Can manage a one birder but big scores come with destroying as many blocks as possible. Have tried shooting from each side to contain the blocks and stop them from drifting into space but the challenge is then to avoid floating asteroids to aim the last shot.

Finally managed 3 stars with 82130. Thanks magickal.kitten your comment helped. Realised that after destroying pigs with first shot, then aimed bb 2 and 3 to centre of clusters of bricks before detonating, destroying bricks rather than just pushing them out of the way – produced much larger score.

77280 – kept knocking everything out with one bird for low score. Finally aimed away from the pigs entirely, focusing on the stones & wood and knocking them into the ice.

By Blueliner

Trick is to take out as many blocks as possible, even after the pigs are gone.

By David Lynch

81630 – if you pop all the pigs on your 2nd bird, if you’re quick, you can still shoot your 3rd bird into some stones to build your score before it tallies out.

Only 4 of the Top 50 are playing on a PC ~ BUT ~ the 109,550 High Score is a PC platform score so I’m not sure what to think. The next highest PC score is currently at Rank #38 so go figure……

I do not recall what was in the video that was deleted. The current score was obtained by hitting the lower left most stone and activate when between the next two stones and do the same for the top with the second bird. Then waited for a good stone cluster in the upper area and then released the third bird. There is a lot of luck but did break 100k a few times. Current score about 5k more than the previous score.

I was sending him in way too soon and just waiting a little bit really helped me alot. I know it’s not much of a huge tip but hope it helps at least one person.

I’m currently in second place but I don’t have much to add. First shot goes to the near bottom bricks, second to the near top bricks, and third to the far top bricks – in an attempt to slam as many bricks as possible into the glass. I can get the occasional 100k score but it tons of tries to advance beyond 104k.

By HappyShake (@happyshake)

not sure whether anybody is still interested in this level, but here’s a few facts that could help to get +100k.

1st shot: aim down at top left corner of left-most concrete block. Do not shoot anything up into the top left concrete blocks.
2nd shot: wait a second or two until the concrete blocks in the middle have drifted north-east a bit. All pigs should be gone now. If you have less than 60k points at this point – reload. 63-65k is good, 67 was the most I ever had.
3rd shot: shooting in the middle and sending debris everywhere doesn’t help you. If the stars align you will have a clear shot to the top right concrete blocks. They will have moved and some wood will be around too. Avoid the wood blocks and let the bomb self ignite. Best results are if the explosion takes place when there’s about 1 block “air” between bomb and several concrete blocks. You dont want to smash them, you want to push them down into the ice-blocks below and the wood above.

@HappyShake, since you’re on sabbatical deep in Africa, I’ll attempt to answer @Kelani‘s question for you. Feel free to correct me if I’m wrong.

Mr. Shake is not saying never shoot at the top left blocks. On the contrary, he’s saying if hit correctly, nothing will travel “into” the top left blocks from Shot #1. If it does, reset. You want a pristine set of blocks to shoot at on Shot #2. And, yes, you want to shoot at the top left blocks on Shot #2. BTW, Shot #1 and Shot #2 are reversible.

One bit of advice from the Rat. I think the most important word in Mr. Skake’s post was “air”. Pay heed to leaving space between your egg and the blocks on your third shot. It also doesn’t hurt to have an internal clock to know how long you can wait after the last pig dies. It takes time for the blocks to travel to the right and group up for Shot #3.

Please forgive me if I stepped on your toes Mr. Shake, but @Kelani couldn’t wait. He’s on a mission to oust us from our comfy perches in Space as soon as possible.

Let’s face it, the strategies on this level aren’t overly descriptive, and one of the videos everyone seemed to love is no longer available. I had a horrible time my first time through this level, and promised myself one day I’d make sure nobody else has to go through that.

So, here’s my interpretation of @happyshake‘s strategy. Just to give you a general idea. In this video, the strategy only got me 93k on PC, but the same shots gave me 102.050 on iOS. There are definitely more points to be had with a little fine-tuning.

Extra thanks to @Rat9 for using his Space Wisdom to explain the strategy to me earlier in this walkthrough. If you’re having trouble, check his post for some useful breadcrumbs.

@kelani

I think you have to shoot a bit lower so that the second block of the upper left diagonal goes straight up and hits the above stone group so as to flatten it. This makes (I think) the second shot more efficient (if you wait a little bit for it).

As for the third shot, I think it is better to wait that the blocks from the previous shots helped to clear the way.

Unless there is a magical trick that has eluded me (and this is definitiely possible), be prepared to have to wait a long time before getting an acceptable score.

I’ve been flinging the 2nd shot lower, just under the leftmost stone on the upper structure. The 3rd shot is the one driving me crazy, it’s so hard to find the right spot to aim into & when to detonate. At least it got me to 102k.
Thanks to @happyshake for the original details.

@karen68 The video was just a rough example, the fine-tuning that Rat and happyshake mention makes a big difference. oddly enough. for me shot 3 is the easiest. I got to where I could tell how far Bomb would penetrate into the pile, and detonated as needed so he’d fling as much debris as possible toward the ice blocks below. That’s what’s most likely to break :)

@kelani (and others)

Some time ago, a respected ABN member had asked me my method for this level. I just had spent some time on it recently, so that my recollection of the procedure was still precise. Here is what I had written then. Hope this can help.

—-

Basically, a good scoring is: 27k + pigs for the first shot, 27k again for the second, and then between 35k and 40 for the last. These are upper values, in the sense that what you get for one shot is gone for the next ones. I think I only once got 69k after two shots, however, the figure does not say much as after the second shot it is more important to aim quickly than looking at the score.

First shot: aim at left most stone of lower left stone group. I aim specifically on its upper horizontal side, between the stone upper left corner, and the lower left corner of the stone above it. I then detonate manually. The goal is that one of the stone of this group is expelled almost vertically and hits the upper left stone group. In the meantime, stones are expelled to the right, but either ESE or ENE, so that the glass blocks are not scattered by the stones. Usually the middle pig is gone, but either the upper or the lower one can survive (it is better if it is the upper one as you are sure to kill it after).

Second shot is a bit more random as it depends on how things have been scattered. Upper left stone group is likely to be flattened by the stone that was expelled vertically with first shot (which was partially designed for this purpose). Usually sending bird along elongated axis of this stone group is fine, but only if it is not too elongated. Also, how early one must detonate depends on the flattening (the more flattened, the later, I would say). An important point is that one must not scatter the ice blocks east of the level as those have to be close to their initial state for the last shot. In some occasions, it is better to send bird close to the upper wooden group instead of left of elongated stone group, but it is quite rare, and not much rewarding.

Now, the most difficult shot. It everything goes well, you have all pigs dead, 67 or 68k, and a clear view between sling and upper right stone group. You have to send bird on the upper left quadrant of the block so that as much stones as possible are expelled toward ice blocks. If too close to the stone, they are destroyed without much expelled debris, if too far, they are expelled without much momentum. Precise detonation point is crucial here.

Having the rightmost wooden group pushed by stone after first (possibly second) shot is the key here as breaking bottom ice block group in addition to upper one is the key to very high scores. Usually shot is made unsatisfactory by the facts that either there are wooden block (from upper group) between sling and where you want to aim, or the upper right stone group has already been too much scattered. When this is not the case, precise trajectory is quite obvious (I use star background for this as time is running out if all pigs are dead).

In the end, I would say that I get >100k twice per hour, but it rarely go above 103k. My impression is that the second shot is still made by myself too much randomly. There may be a recipe that gives larger odds to have a clean third shot, but I have not found it. I

I see now where I went wrong back then. .I forgot to use the Whine factor! !whinneee

@sglouk thanks for sharing your strat:) it’s the second shot that is messing me up:/ should i shoot Above the flattened elongated pile that the top turns into or directly in the middle ? I don’t seem to be getting the wood to break up and get out of the way..

OK, is it just me or did I completely misread the walkthrough?

The walkthrough says to shoot first to the diamond next to the mustachioed pig, who is in the center. This can get you a cleared level with one bird, but you won’t score high and 1 star is all I ever was able to manage.

But the video shows the shot going into the near north east diamond.

Using the video I was able to get three stars on the second try (sometimes it’s a matter of where the bricks congregate for best effect). But I think the narrative needs updating.
