One strategy for Ham ‘em High level 12-2 is to fire the Blue bird toward the second sombrero pig, splitting so that a bird or two topple the tower to the right. All pigs on the right side should be cleared as towers fall. Fire the Yellow bird through the first pig and into the left side of the tower beyond, finishing the level. The score in the video below is 84,270.
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 have 3 stars in the 1st level, and it will not open for the next two. It just saids Coming Soon. What do I do?
Which level are you referring to? World 14 hasn’t been released yet if that is the level you’re talking about.
I got this One in one bird a couple pieces of wood flung back and hit the 1st tower down and all of them died
90,380. Same as video but the TNT at the right exploded and the disintegration was a little better
Rank: 429
Cool, but how are people getting in the 100k’s? I can’t even get beyond 89k.
I am revisiting H E H to better my scores. I feel like I’m out in the desert all by myself. No one else is playing at this time. But I did get 92330 with a one birder that also detonated the TNT. Very lucky but I’ll take it.
I got 84180 with a single Blue Bird using the above method. if the TNT had detonated Im sure I could have improved on it.
One bird solution with releasing the Blue Bird earlier and at a lower angle than in the video. The bottom two should take out the left structure and the top one on the right. It appears harder to get the left structure to fall. Activation of the tnt seems to be the challenge on the right. Could not find a pattern for its activation. From 75k to 84k with no tnt activation. Gained 9k in points with tnt activation.
I tried a flatter release angle for the first blue bird, ang got the left towers to fall, with the upper blue bird knocking over the first tower on the right hand side. Perhaps it was little more than dumb luck on my part, but that caused a chain reaction on the right side, culminating in the detonation of the TNT, causing near total destruction, with multiple sombreros flying in the leading edge of the blast wave.
I mention that about the sombreros, not because it gained me any points, but rather because it looked cool. Also, I seem to like typing the word “sombreros,” heaven only knows why! :-)
@TruckDriver this worked great for me..ty:) sorry I bested yout score;) stop.in.the BP, I’ll buy you a sombrero ;)
@kathy – way to go!!! I’ll get back to beating your score later, I’m working on Rio, Space and Bad Piggies right now!!!! :-)
Ive been trying to stick to one at a time ;) wish I could get bad piggies though!! Good luck. ! Stop in the bp..on me? When you get a chance hint hint (( shh..shh sunshine birthday thursday the 4th..) secret surprise;)
@TruckDriver, Hello, listen if you want to score higher on this one, just work for the 1-birder that scores higher.
1) Launch Blue bird at a very high arc and split just before going over the first tower on the right so you hit that pig, that’ll generally ignite the TNT and wipe everything out on the right and flying pieces of wood take care of the left side as well. Just keep resetting ’til you get what you want, I only did it about 6 times before getting it the first time and it gave me 92k off the bat, the second time I got it I was well rewarded for my efforts.
ps. maybe it’s time you bought yourself a Sombrero, just don’t wear it when driving by the Mexican border, you may be misidentified as a Mojado then get arrested and deported to Mexico.
I haven’t even worn such a thing in 40 years. I’m not worried about seportation though, especially since DoT started a program of certifying Mexican carriers to run in the US, outside of the border area.
As for the strat, I’m sure I’ll try it in due course, as I’m finishing up Rio, and finally launching into Space, while squeezing in those Bad Piggies once in a while. Of course, once the rumored Star Wars variant gets launched, I’ll be way behind again!
@TruckDriver, please tell me it isn’t so, tell me we’re not going to be taking potshots at a Darth Vader pig or worse yet an ugly Slug pig. Will we be issued special Light Sabres for battling the evil forces of The Empire (Rovio)? Will the Force be with us, or against us as is usually the case with anything that the demented creators at Rovio come up with?
Beats me, we’ll just have to wait and see. The post mentioned nothing about specific gameplay.
@werewolf69, I had to laugh when I read your post from last fall! So, is it as terrible as you imagined?
I split the blue bird right out the gate, bottom two birds hitting second tower, top bird hitting third tower, then hope for TNT to explode and a lot of destruction otherwise on the left.
Thx To, @werewolf69, after working on his strategy many times, I can suggest a two birdie way that will be over 90 K much easier:
1. Launch the blue bird with 45-50 degree arc, split after it passes the second tower (on the left) just early before reaching the hill. This should mostly ( if not totally) the right side by detonating the TNTs. Around 43K. ( Best: 45K+ )
2. Yellow bird, just aim the head of the first pig (just over his eyes) on the first tower, and finally Y.B. should just crash the lower part of the vertical wood under the vertical stone block by causing the second tower fall on left. (90K+)
I hope that will help.
@orkun, that’s pretty good, but you’d score higher if you keep trying it my way ’til your fingers bleed. Happy Hunting!
One birder. Multiplaying little over left flap of Rock Hat ;). Left side goes left, right part – somehow lightly hitten goes to the R.
