Our strategy for Ham ‘em High level 12-11 is to launch the first Yellow bird into the left side of the tall horse, popping both pigs on that side. Loft the next Yellow bird, accelerating through the left side of the second horse. Spin the Boomerang bird into as many of the remaining pigs as possible, then use the White bird to bomb any scraps. The score in the video below is 73,330.
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.
Method #2 yields 78,150 using 3 out of 5 birds. Fire the first Yellow bird into the small stone block atop the tall horse, thereby popping the three pigs at the extreme right. Launch the next Yellow bird into the left side of the tall horse, popping both pigs on that side. Then spin the Boomerang bird into the only remaining pig.
I got this one by combining both of the methods above.
Take down the first structure as in method 2, then go over the top through the neck of the big horse to take out the horseback pig on the slightly smaller horse while aiming to hit the blocks on the smaller horse so they fall and kill the 2 small pigs on the right as well, then take out the piggy under the big horse with the boomerang bird, got me 83,030 and only used the 3 birds, it did take me about 20 goes to get it though.
Thanks for the suggestions. I got 79540 with three birds, using the method you described.
This method gave me an extra 4,000 pts.
TY TMH@TMH for strategy got me 80210
Believe it or not, after only three tries I got this one with only two birds, netting 90830 points.
I figured I needed to take out the two pigs under the big horse first, but I got lucky on a bad aim and tipped the entire big horse TOWARD the rest of the birds. It demolished all the other horses, killed all of those pigs, and left only one of the original target birds (under the big horse). The second bird took care of him easily, and caused some destruction to boot.
I got 88160 using one bird. I aimed very low on the “horses” leg to kill the first 2 pigs, and had a lot of unstable boards etc laying on the bird. Once he vaporized, everything fell to the right and caused a chain reaction. The other birds were just bonus points (obviously)
Similar to msgelter above except that the original 2 he was aiming for died.
My apologies for doubting this method, but I find it impossible to come anywhere close to duplicating what you’re describing. No matter where I shot the yellow bird into the left leg the rest of the structure collapsed to the left and all the debris was destroyed with nothing resting on the bird. Even if there is any wood left there’s not enough to fall over to the right and take out the rest of all the pigs. Did you by chance use a power-up to achieve your one-birder? I’m wondering if anyone else has been able to do it with one bird akso.
@SweetP Eric’s comment long predates Power Ups. Further below, I see @wrw01 left a useful comment that also references Eric’s strategy.
Ah, ok didn’t see that. Thanks for the clarification @amslimfordy! Love this community and all the help that we can get from your videos and others’ comments.
Definitly like the 2nd method better. The 3 bird scores are needed to crack into the 80k range.
Used Method #2 above and gained 9k in points. If the first yellow bird hits the area of the solid middle left wood block and hollow block above points should be close to 30k.
Used the one bird method of the yellow bird hitting low on the horses legs and the right side bottom 3 blocks and plank fell to the right and damaged the other 3 horses. Could not obtain the high scores of msgelter and Eric but it is very possible. Have to hit the low hollow block and the the solid wood block in the middle seem to form a wedge and pushes the right side of the horse to the right.
The method by TMH also worked very well.
Method 2 netted me another 6k. The damage caused by simply knocking over the stone was quite impressive, in terms of its overall usefulness. Shot 2 went in place of the first shot in the other method, to the lower leg of the horse, with damage as expected. This left the green bird to take out the pig under the next rightward horse,, with white and yellow as bonus points.
Used the strategy in the first video, if lucky the 2 wood squares and the horizontal wooden piece on the bottom right of the first structure will tip to the right and push the rest of the level to the right. One birder is possible but I need a second bird to clean up the bird in the second horse.
Woo hoo. @thetoddman23 q little patience and luck pays off..ty for your post
I tried all methods mentioned but the same thing..so I tried video and just waited for the ‘L’ factor:)
* carefully places ‘L factor back on shelf for another’s use*
Had 50k after first bird. Had last pigged been killed, would have been a new top score. Just takes luck it seems like to get that final pig. Have seen 92k to 95k possibilities, never seem to get that final pig.
Got them all with one bird, just didn’t get enough destruction. Best place to hit the first bird at he bottom of the leftmost square, between the two long boards. The goal would be for the bird to break the square and the bottom board, lodging itself against the upright piece of wood in the middle of the long boards. Like this, the chance of the right of the structure falling to the right and pushing everything over is greater. I think there is are a lot more points to be gained here with the right amount of luck.
