Utopia bonus level S-8 is unlocked by 3-starring levels 4-1 through 4-10 of Utopia. Our strategy is to fling the first space egg at the top of the bottom left flower, detonating above it. This should take out the top pig and likely the top right pig. Now fire one more space egg above the fat pig and detonate to the left stem of the far bottom right flower, pulling it down and popping the fat pig’s bubble.
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.
I prefer the top route. And you need to get the popcorn under the pig for max points.
I got my high by following the video. Only took a few tries. You have to get most of the popcorn to get a high score.
did the same as you 83k.
I followed my first shot like the video, then repeated it for the right side. Got 78k even.
To do this in 2, I found it easier to detonate the 1st egg under the top left flower, this takes out lower left & the big pig. Detonate the 2nd egg under the top right flower to clear.
I got my best score (79k) using all 3 eggs. Followed the video, but 1st shot failed to take out top right flower (as usual for me). 2nd shot like the video, then used 3rd egg to destroy top right flower. I didn’t get all the popcorn either, so there were more points to be had.
Thanks all, I swear for some nutty reason this has been the hardest for me. I gotten 3 stars on all the games I can do on a PC, and now I’ve followed the videos, and have cleared this level in 2 shots quite a few times, but never, have gotten the minimum score for 3 stars.
I can’t tell what to get rid of—do you try to pop all the corn so there are lots of popped corn (that didn’t seem to work)? I just can’t find what they want. Very frustrating.

Key to the level is to get maximum impact by activating the egg very close to the flower. I can get first shot scores between 17k and 42k with pretty much identical destruction, just the 42k score had an almost explosive impact, where the 17k popped the corn at a much more leisurly pace. Nonetheless, I am still having issues putting a quality second shot together when I get a good first one. Crazy level seems to have my number for now.
Does anyone with a score of 80K and up have some insight into how they got their score?
I’m stuck at 76K and can’t even get back to that.
I’m curious if the high scores were done via one birders or some other approach.
I’ve tried the N/S first shot and the S/N first shot – it doesn’t seem to matter.
Any advice would be appreciated!
LOL – not five tries after I posted this I hit for 80.8K.
Egg at first bird at the bottom left flower, which took it north, and this also took out the upper two.
Something went south and took out big pig.
I shot the second egg quickly at the furthest flower, which had broken loose and started to drift.
The magic of a whine strikes again!
I’ve been whining for weeks and can’t get off of 79K for this one… Arrgh@
Yay!!! I just got Top score here ;-) Sorry to @sal9 for bumping your Top score, lol..Let’s see how long it last before I get bumped!
New strat for above average scores and pretty repeatable:
Aim first “egg” just slightly above horizontal so that it hits the doughnut in the middle and bounces off of it to land on the RIGHT side of the left bottom “flower” pig. Explode egg which takes out this bottom left pig and it pulls it right and gets bottom fat pig, some popcorn and one of the wooden balls will go on to hit far bottom right flower/pig which will either kill this pig too or in my high score case, it broke it away from it’s base and started floating upwards towards the top right.
Second shot was to the far upper right so that it landed between the top right pig and the now floating up bottom right pig. I ignited it in between them. This causes them to smash together and destroys them both.
Third shot to finish for the top left remaining pig.
If your first shot kills the far bottom right pig you can just send the second egg in to the far top right pig to land on it’s left side to pull it towards the top left pig which should cause then to collide and take those two out, or you can go the opposite and aim for top right pig on it’s bottom right side to go right and take out top right pig.
I’ve got several scores from 76K to my current high of 88170. GL
Thanks @lesleyg! Up by 5k. No where near your score but I can walk away now!!
@jlz-666 You’re welcome! I’m glad it was able to help you ;-)
@jlz-666 same here, this has been a nightmare for me, I’ve tried every method…while working with @lesleyg ‘s, kaboom….it finally happened, and I’m walking away!!! ;). (Farewell level!)
@sunshine – I’m glad you got the “Kaboom” you were looking for!!! I know you probably don’t agree but I loved most of the Egg Bonus levels…I found it very fun to try and figure out where to tap them so that they pulled stuff together ;-)
Ewwww,this level gave me fits @sunshine I’ve not returned to it since and don’t intend to try ever again;) I see the top score is now up at 97k yikes!! I thought @lesleyg score was unattainable so I can forget attempting 90+ ;)
@jlz-666 this was the first of the bonus level I try, ( probably should have started from the beginning, not here) I hated it from my first fling!!! (Plus, not being a fan of Utopia, didn’t help either lol)
Nice shooting AA, my top scores never last very long :P
@lesleyg I used your first shot combined with a different second.
The second one I bumped of center towards the northwest pig, so it would fly straight east. Almost got 90k with a 2-birder, I popped the corn of northeast, but the pig somehow survived…. Since all debris was pulled into the northeast corner I just had to put the 3rd egg in between to get close to 90k on a 3birder.
Had 78k + bonusegg and a lot of debris, so just fired it in northeast corner. 12k points and a 90k score, thanks @lesleyg
Nice job @z0z0!!! I had also tried bouncing it off the doughnut for the second shot too, but I was pretty happy with my score at the time so I moved on..I may have to come back and try some more ;-)
Thanks @Sal9…Mine didn’t last too much longer after I posted, lol ;-) That always happens.
Wow! These quasi “black hole” sucker-eggs take some getting used to. Reminds me of isotropes in trigonometry (yes, isotRopes… the “black holes” between wave cycles). Also calculus with its upper and lower end limits. Who’s the math-whiz that invented these “sucker-eggs?” :)
In lay terms, the first egg will produce a random, static outcome over time but dynamic while still in motion. That is, the launch and activation of each egg will produce at least a slightly different scenario for the aiming and launch of the next egg; a repeatable strategy is probably nearly impossible, which may explain why there are so few comments and strat-posts here :) Kudos to the Rovio-geniuses who invented “sucker-eggs!” What a way to silence comments on ABN! Hehehe….
For AB Nesters, the “sucker-egg” bonus levels seem to be… well… just that: bonuses. The “S” factor (“skill”) and “L” factor (“luck”) seem to be an even 50/50 with a slight edge to the “house.” Pay attention: the bonus levels are your final exams.
muK :)
Wow! Just by chance got all with first egg! Grr…score 69680.
Thanks Karen68…..I did it your way and finally 3 starred it!
I tried all of the suggestions here and was getting close to the 3 star. This has been the hardest of any of the scenarios for me. But I finally got it and I’m not entirely sure how. With 2 birds, the best I could get was just under 70k. Popped all the pigs, popped all the corn I could see, had one egg left. WTF? So I went back at it after reading the tips here. I got to 74k and 3 stars but here’s the thing — what did I do to get that additional 6k? It has something to do with speed — but not just getting all the popcorn. Getting all the pigs and all the popcorn won’t do it. There’s something else … investigating.
There is a lot of damage points around. Variations in scores should be expected.
