Our strategy for Danger Above level 7-11 is very direct. Fire the first White bird just above the helmet pig, bombing as late as possible. Fire the next two White birds head-on into the structure, keeping the birds as low as possible. If necessary, use the last White bird to target any remaining pigs. The score in the video below is 103,190.
Fun fact: This levels celebrates Keke Rosberg, a Finish racing driver who won the 1982 Formula One World Championship.
Slim, thanks for the fun fact, it adds to the game. :)
This seems to be unstable, compared to what I remember. Just keep inching along and you will get there. You should have a bonus bird left.
On the first shot, toss the white bird to hit the front wall. Do NOT release the egg. This shot leads to high scores.
Did the same thing (not intentionally, white bird isn’t my friend, I’m frequently to late with releasing the egg). Make sure you clear out the ‘1’. Making way for the second bird to take out the next section. Don’t make the structure topple with the first 2 birds, that way the third bird can take out the last section. Got lucky my third bird cleared all the piggies, got 118630!
Here is my video
@e-star, don’t blame yourself when you fail to release the egg, the game does it on purpose to frustrate you so you’ll play more.
That’s SO true, @werewolf69! Sure does make it more interesting, too!! LOL.
@kartflyer Thanks Kart for the tip on the first bird. It worked great. Gained 2k in points.
Thanks @kartflyer. Following your advice and bloating the first bird added 10K to my score.
@kartflyer, that’s a great discovery you made about not releasing the egg on the first shot, I was able to raise my old score by 6k+ following your recommendation, thank you very much!
@kartflyer I was having trouble getting above average your tip made the difference thank you.
Oh my … I can’t do this to save my life!!! ARGH!
Stick with it @Jennifer Cooke-Rabig , it took me over 100 hundred tries, but following the video finally paid off.
I just scored 118k using all four birds here. I got an excellent collapse from the first two birds (I think it was 64k with four pigs surviving). I was afraid of crashing the third bird uselessly into the structure like I usually do under pressure, so I ended up dropping the egg a little early, which left the last digit teetering but standing. It was set up perfectly for a late drop into its side, and I was quite surprised when the score counter kept on going well beyond my previous best of 111k. So the upshot seems to be that you don’t have to try to be perfect on your third bird.
Thanks @austinrhl for this good strategy.
I hated this level with all my guts when I first played it over a year ago and every single time I’ve replayed it since then, and today is no exception, darned little swine just won’t die. I’m trying it today only because it’s on the Challenge, but things are still the same and I can’t for the life of me make my old score budge even 10 points. No challenge for me today, maybe tomorrow.
Thanks for the motivation @werewolf69 I don’t really like this level either but I only had 106,000 so I figured I could at least get above average which I did at 107 something last night. Then I saw your 110,510 score down here today and decided to try again. I got within 200 points of you and that was enough to make me try yet again. I probably shouldn’t post this because you will probably also try again and get higher, and I really don’t want to play this level any more today.
@stocktoad, trying again on this level is the furthest thing on my mind, just looking at the higher scores posted above tells me to hang it up and forget about it. Heck, I could probably bribe Rovio and still not come within 15k of any of those scores. Good Luck my Friend.
Okay, I lied, sorry @stocktoad, but you awakened the competitive spirit within me and I was unable to resist the challenge.
Congratulations @werewolf69 you not only beat me you stomped me underfoot and did unmentionable things to me. Oh well. I’ll see if I can get revenge tomorrow.
@stocktoad, if I didn’t know better, I’d swear you’re accusing me of rape. No, really now, next time follow your own advice and don’t tell me of your plans for global domination…It only makes my German-Spanish blood boil with anticipation of greater things to come.
If it weren’t for the competition we would all be happy with 3 stars. En Garde!!!!!
@WereWolf69 @Stocktoad….ditto guys. If all levels were like this, I would be back playing solitaire. I am just waiting for it to go away and never show it’s face again! :D
@waimea, I remember that practically all the levels in Danger Above were a giant pain in the as….., that episode should be relegated to ancient history and totally forgotten about. Happy Hunting!
Yup. This is one level that I never thought I would play again. Spent forever getting a good score. Only played today because it was the challenge.
Congrats on your score @myselfandme, WTG!!!
