One strategy for Trick or Treat level 1-10 is to vertically launch a Yellow bird just past the initial tower and onto the Helmet pig. Bomb the left side of the remaining structure with a White bird, then snipe any remaining pigs with another Yellow bird. The score in the video below is 106,650.
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.
First two birds do their job but next two wasted by being off by a pixel or two. Very frustrating
As they say, it’s a game of pixels :)
2 tries later 103,000. Complaint magic!
It’s easier to shoot the first bird through the lowest vertical piece of wood. It has to be a clean shot, all the way through the helmeted pig, but that collapses the left side, usually with more points than the high-shot alternative. 39-40k isn’t unusual. After that, it’s the same as in the video. I got 114,130, which I’m pretty sure required three birds, though all the tries sort of blend together after a while.
Good tactics, thanks. It seems impossible to do it with 2 birds.
Thanks for the strategy @snoid, got it in a few tries.
About the 2-birder, it seems to be possible, but very hard to achieve. With luck, stone debris from the second shot could knock out the far right pig, while breaking through the one under the roof. Must’ve been how the top scorer got his score.
Yeah, the first shot down low was much more obvious to me, too. The far-right pig is a real pain; I didn’t seem to have the talent to get the rebounding carcass of the white bird to hit the stone cleanly, so I had to make do with letting the debris fall such that the third shot would disrupt the plank the pig was sitting on, causing the pig to roll left and tip the plank over.
@kartflyer and @austinrhl. Your comments got me to try this level again, and I just couldn’t get above 110k with three birds, and I usually got around 104k (on those times that I succeeded, naturally), so I thought maybe I had done it with two originally. I tried lobbing the WB up high, and it came down a little beyond where I wanted it to (i.e., just in front of the remaining structure), but somehow it managed to penetrate the low chamber and kill all the pigs except that far-right one. However, it had nothing holding it down and a very, very slight roll to the right. So I put my computer down to do something else, and after about a minute, I heard the birds cheering, and sure enough, I had done it in two while raising my score by more than 3k! It still didn’t put me at the top of this level, but it moved me up enough that I jumped by two places on the Trick or Treat, which has been my best world in any AB game so far. I wish that I’d taken a screen shot while that pig was rolling. I took one after the score was posted, but it’s really too dark to see exactly where I detonated the WB. I’ll be happy to post it or send you a copy if you’d like, but you’ll probably do just as well by trying it for yourself. (I haven’t been able to duplicate the shot after about 50 tries, and I know roughly where I shot it.)
Walkthrough really helped me on this one. It was the last one I had to get to achieve the 3* in all levels. Got it with 110620.
More or less followed the video, except I send the first white bird on the same trajectory as the first yellow bird, dropping the egg near the ground and bouncing into the remaining structure. In my case the left hand column fell after the first shot, making it easier to send the second yellow bird in for the final kill/debris clean up.
Again current score doesn’t match the video I made in 2011, but I think after my crash at the end of 2011, I didn’t record my progress in the levels I lost. So all I have to show is a video of a 3 birder with the same score as the video on top, 106k
I came in from below hitting the wood of the bottom structure, making the bottom part collaps. Second bird came with a lob releasing the egg at the last moment on to the right structure, making room for the yellow bird to cut thru the rest.
Here is my video.
I followed the same strategy with some lucky hits:
I got 110,170
