Angry Birds Space Pig Dipper bonus level S-15 is unlocked by 3-starring levels 6-11 through 6-20 of Pig Dipper. One strategy is to send the Egg between the anchor and water on the western planet. Trigger the wormhole below the central anchor. Slowly, the boats will fall into gravitational fields and explosions. If all three boats are cleared with one shot, 3 stars should be yours! The score in the video below is 130,460.
If you have a different strategy feel free to leave a comment below; however, don't just post your score via the comments, as that's what the leaderboards are for.
Raft and Anchor Glitch
Current Version Status: v1.5.1 on iOS still allows the glitch to operate properly.
Below is a video demonstrating the “Raft and Anchor” glitch, first noted by @annach and taken a whole new level by @kinkykiwi (just check out her score!). While the video below does not yield many points, it’s a proof of concept that if the raft survives for a decent amount of time, high scores are possible. For reference in the paragraph below, I call the three boats B1 (north), B2 (east), and B3 (south). The “Raft” is attached to B1.
The glitch is a bit rare, but repeatable to some standard. Fling the Egg through the water south of the first planet, triggering the wormhole as soon as it touches the TNT. The key to the glitch occurring is having the raft shoot hard eastward, hitting an invisible wall it seems and slowly falling to the northern planetoid. The most notable way that this happens is when the anchor of B2 pulls the anchor of B1 while drifting into the northern gravitational field. Points accrue by the anchors slowly pushing on the raft. In the video below, I believe points accrue too fast, causing the raft to structurally fail very quickly. With a bit of “Kiwi Luck”, much higher scores are possible.
We encourage you to adjust the viewing settings of the video below. Since the action occurs behind the scores in the top-right corner, viewing the video in full screen and adjusting the resolution to its highest setting (720p HD) is advised. You may need to view the video directly on YouTube to change some of these settings.
Disclaimer: Any score in excess of 160,000 will require definitive proof, at least a comment and a screenshot, but possibly more at administrative request. Any score not meeting these requirements will be removed and, if abused repeatedly, the user will be blocked from the leaderboard. Any score in excess of 170,000 qualifies for the Anchors Away badge (subject to above requirements). For a list of such users and their original scores, see our list here.

Ok, appealing to the gods of the whine here. Been attempting the badge for 4 days now, I have about 5 aim spots which regularly get the pig to ‘whip’, and have set the glitch in motion about 500 times, however it never sticks. Sometimes it starts at 10 pts every 20 seconds, sometimes it’s 20 pts a second but every time so far it suddenly picks up pace, and ‘pop’.
/rant.
@mattog, I know this is hard to try. I attempted this level for over a month. Don’t worry! I know you can do it! Don’t give up!
You can check the strategy to find a good way for you to get higher score.
I know the feeling! I share your pain!
Finally got it to stick today. FWIW the shot was north of the first planet, just skimming the water, then exploded the egg on impact with the TNT. Didn’t let it run for ages, just enough to get the badge.
@AMslimfordy : Here’s the ending screen proof.
Thanks Muchly!!
Help, how do I get this thing to stop, I’m at 175000 and counting. I have several screen shots, do I need a video?
My app stopped and went back to the previously recorded score, all I have is screen shots. Are there instructions on this somewhere to tell me what my options are?
To qualify for the badge, you would need to complete the level.
Sorry, this is all a little confusing, I thought once I hit 170000 I’d get my level complete. I should have read all of the comments first, they would have resolved my confusion. Back to the drawing board.
@joey29 there’s methods for ending the level for both scenarios (i.e. the glitch happens at the top planet, or the bottom) I’d practice the shots a bit (especially the lower one). Basically:
Top planet: Aim to JUST miss the north side of the rocky planet with no atmosphere. The egg will be pulled into the atmosphere of the upper planet and kill the pig.
Lower planet: You need to fling one of the ice-asteroids down onto the lower planet. It’s tough, and it usually misses, but it’s possible. Other than that, you just have to wait.
A word of caution; don’t use the third egg. The level usually times out before the pig is killed.
Good luck.
Thank you, hopefully I can do it again, no luck so far, but I’ll be ready this time.
Yes! Finally! From the confines on my sick bed (with the dreaded Norovirus) I finally got the glitch and went past 170k! Just! I missed with the first shot to end it but the Piggie kindly committed suicide for me! 173k

I think I’ve caught up here: @yuriyiglokin @MattOG @andy2510
Thanks @amslimfordy
ta slim
congrats @andy2510 and @yuriyigolkin
Thanks @MattOG – and congrats to yourself as well.
@MattOG , @AMslimfordy Thanks a lot!
Yesssss here my New Screenshot. The Device doesnt Crash this time :-)
http://angrybir.de/12plCd6
@cc-jolly That’ll move you up a few spots ;-)
How long did it run for, and did it complete by itself?
@burpie
I tried it altogether 5 times. For me personally it was only reachable on iPad. On iPhone i never find the lucky shot. The first 2 times my device (iPad) crashed. It was really frustrated :-( I think the reason was that the Internet runs in Background and i always get Messages etc. I activate the “Flight Modus” and the “Do Not Desturb” Bottom! So you have really a higher chance. In the 3rd try i Shot the second bird after 166k to reach the Badge. In the 4th try the biggie dies itself after 851 k and 20k for two left birds. And the 5th try i Shot the second bird after 1 Million 756k. I was able to get higher but it was too great a risk for me and i stoped it. For this latest Score my device runs about 2 Days! I hope it helps you a little bit ;-) So my flinging friend. Have fun and a nice day to you ;-)
… Yes you’re right it moves me up some steps but i don’t think Admins will change/update the list :-(
@burpie
Now i have the Score also on iPhone. I transfered the files to device :-)
WOW! Your hard-work really impressed me! I think 166k is enough to me, but you never give up. Now you prove that it is worth to do it. Congrats!
Thanks @luke-thai for comment. Yes but that was my last try. But i see your Score is also great. Congrats !!!
Well luck was with me as I managed to hit the glitch again. Please award Anchors Away badge, screen shot link attached.
http://angrybir.de/YMsE37
@Jonstad — Congrats!
Nice job, @jonstad! Congrats!
Thank you for the congrats, this one was particularly irritating.
@amslimfordy please award Anchors away badge, screen shot link http://angrybir.de/YMsE37. Thank you @jonstad
Ah geez, I guess I missed the boat on this one. I noticed the glitch discussion right after I updated to the Slash theme song version, and it looks like they have removed the glitch :-) Oh well, I got 146k without the glitch (but with the glitch video strategy), at least it’s enough to beat the average!
@amslimfordy @birdleader Is it true that the glitch is gone after the Slash update? I just found out about the glitch and the badge but I may be too late to get if if the glitch is gone. Thanks for the great site.
The glitch still works.
Oh lol I guess I did it wrong then. Or I got the glitch for a little bit but din’t notice… sry for false info.
Are you sure? Every time I get the raft to “hit the wall” it gets smashed up within a few seconds as the anchors circle the planet.
Another question – why are people worried about getting a phone call during the level and it quitting? Surely the AB app just pauses when that happens, and you can continue from the “play arrow” on the pause screen? (As long as you don’t launch enough other apps in the mean time to force it out of memory.)
That later reason is precisely it. Especially on phones, the amount of RAM is a bit risky.
I did it! Finally! After trying for hours, days, weeks, months, (ok, not years), I finally qualified for Anchors Away! I can’t claim skill. I managed to get the pig on a raft to settle down more times than I care to count only to see it die with a score no higher than 140,000. It was pure dumb luck that it landed in a position where it could push the anchors round and round without dying. Here’s the link to the screenshots proving the score. http://www.angrybirdsnest.com/members/puddley/album/
Congrats, @puddley! This is really high!
WTG @puddley
I did it, although I didn’t get to 170000. Honestly, it would’ve taken too long and I really needed the iPad. Here is my photo @amslimfordy.
http://angrybir.de/YDxAuy
The only advice I can offer is extreme patience. I did this with the newest version with the slash bird.
Good luck all.
Ok, I’ve been trying for weeks. I finally decided to stop using my iPhone 5 and try my iPad. Within the first 10 tries I got it! It’s going on the planet to the right and over 261k. I threw the 2nd egg to the ice, but it didn’t pop the pig. So now I am stick. It’s already been over 9 hours. How long will this take? Also, has anyone else found that it works better on the iPad than the iphone? Thanks :)
hang on in there, @cali_mom! I know it’s a bit late to tell you this, but I found that practicing this second shot’s invaluable. Now you’ll have to let the game finish itself (as it did for me after 25 hours) or fling your last bird and get the shot :)
25 hours! Yeah, I should’ve practiced the shot for the second egg. Thanks!
@hinarei I am at 36 hours now and 1.46 million. Will it actually stop or do I need to start over since I messed up the second shot? Thanks!
@cali_mom Keep going and hope that is doesn’t crash n start again. If you have to fling the 3rd egg just be careful that the game doesn’t time out b4 you kill the pig. Best of luck to ya :-)
hi again @cali_mom! If you messed up the second shot, then don’t worry. So long as you have nerves of steel, you’re OK :) You can choose to fling the egg to kill the pig of you really need to use your device, or you can wait it out. It should stop, if my experience of the level is anything to go by, but it might be some time!
best of luck to you! :D
For @cali_mom:
In my opinion, it should depends on your mind.
If you feel really tired and want to end the game. Or if you afraid of ending the game unexpectedly. Choose ending the game. Just shoot a egg straightly, and you will get the score.
But if you want to break the amazing score, just wait! And you can get the highest score in the world!
Think about it twice. I always on your side.
Best of luck to you, @cali_mom! ^_^
I did finally need my iPad back and was close to 2million points, so I flung the egg and grabbed the ice which landed right on the pig. But before the pig could die, the level said game over. This was really frustrating, Because I made the perfect shot to end the level and still failed.
So, I’m back at it again. I’m not going to let it rack up too high this time, just going to throw the second egg as soon as I hit 170k. Last time I was over two days into it and I don’t think that pig would have ever died :(.
For @cali_mom:
Well… Don’t be so sad. Actually I died 3 times with 1000000+ score. Just don’t give up! You do it once, and I believe you can do it again. I always on your side.
Best of luck to you! ^_^
I echo those sentiments, and am sorry for you, @cali_mom :( Like Luke though, I failed spectacularly several times before getting the score I managed, and I was crushed that the level completed/decided to end itself before the 1m mark! Keep plugging away, but only if you can be sure you can leave your iPad running for ages :) Best of luck!
wanted to go for a million in points, but after spending 90 min to finally get the glitch to work properly I really don’t wanna do it again:P used the method of skipping the watter on the north side of the first planet btw. the pig poped on it’s own during the night, still got a decent score of 473,930:)
My Screen Shot
@AMslimfordy
I think I’m caught up: @puddley @jonstad @Donkey-er
A 1.5.1 update for Angry Birds Space is now available, I wonder if it “fixes” this glitch. Can anyone who’s secure in managing this try it out and let us others know if we should wait with the update if we want the badge?
The post has already been updated for v1.5.1.
Sorry, I’d missed that.
No worries!
@amslimfordy – I checked the Update page a while ago and although there is a post link that says it is for AB Space v1.5.1 the link goes to the v1.5.0 update with no mention of what bug was fixed in the 1.5.1 release….
This post. See (way) up.
Thanks @amslimfordy. I see it at the top of this page in the area that describes the ‘glich’. Is it even certain that this is a glitch or is actually part of the designed possibilities on S-15?
It would certainly be a glitch, in that the piece of wood should only be able to withstand 500 points worth of damage before failing.
For @amslimfordy:
This glitch is still allow in v1.5.1 in Android too.
Hope it helps.
Hi @amslimfordy
why can i doesnt see the Anschors Away Badge on my Profile?
It’s there, I see it – Clear your browser cache, that should help.
It’s certainly there.
Please only ask your question once. There is no need to open a forum thread as well.
OMG! Finally! I can’t tell you how many times my heart broke on this level. I was finally able to finish the level with the second egg without screwing up.
http://i642.photobucket.com/albums/uu146/cali_mom_97/image-3.jpg
My proof @amslimfordy!
Um, there’s currently 64 people with a 170k score on the leader board vs. 62 names in the Google doc. Should we get INTERPOL on the case?
I’ll take a look @burpie.
Yes, INTERPOL would be too good for those scoundrels. I like the way you think!
@burpie We don’t have access to Interpol, but InterBird determined who didn’t match and it has been rectified.
hope this works as proof, got this score shortly after pig dipper release, did not seem to hard at the time but
thats how finging works for me luck or in most casses no luck

@amslimfordy
I couldn’t figure out what you were trying to describe with the mentioned glitch until it happened to me. The raft broke after about two circuits for me and I didn’t even beat my legitimate high score. So apparently this glitch exists for Nook Color too. Personally, I don’t really consider it to be a glitch, just a quirk.
and I want my next car to be made out of the same metal as those anchors! The damn things are nearly impossible to destroy!!
Finally! http://angrybir.de/16EOujk
Sorry for falling behind so badly: @mudslinger @kai92
I challenge number of times Raft and Anchor glitch more than 1,000 times, but cannot be yet accomplished.
My score of the present was beyond 150K, but must challenge it still more!
SC20130610-151146.png
Accomplished all of you are worried about how much number of times whether it was challenged.
