Angry Birds Short Fuse Level 27-15 Walkthrough

One strategy for Angry Birds Short Fuse level 27-15 is to toss the Black bird over everything, aiming for the stone tower in the middle of the level. Next, use another Black bird to toss the pink potion toward the remaining pigs, though be careful not to overshoot them since the potion is so light. The score in the video below is 158,590.

Aim first bird at lower potion. If you’re lucky with the angle it can fly into the two bottles on the right “island.” Then all three land on the 3 pigs in the lab coat.

This sets off a chain reaction of splitting and expanding pigs that takes out all remaining ones.

I got 216,750

Chain reactions are key. I used this strategy for a score of 228k+, the chain reaction of the orange potion + the 2 tripling potions on the piggies in the lab coat caused much damage. Even so, I needed a second bird to tidy up.

used the same 1-bird strat for (almost) 247k. fun to see the screen get very crowded. could repeat the shot for 200k+ scores every few minutes. found the orange (lower) potion to be easier to control and to topple the two blue potions (bottles) with, than the pink (upper) one. probably because orange is heavier than pink (potions seem to have properties analogous to the ones of the birds of the corresponding colours?). don’t know about the difference in (collateral) damage caused by either smashing (orange) or lifting (pink); my guess would be that orange is better.

300,000-400,000 points on this level is very attainable. I’ve hit the jackpot shot twice, but iPhone 4S freezes and then closes.

Throw black bird into the pipe guarding the pink bottle on the left. The pink bottle needs to fly east and knock down the the two blue bottles onto the boss pig on right. And then the pink bottle needs to follow onto the boss pig after the blue bottles. Your screen will become completely inundated with dozens and dozens of pigs and ALL these pigs inflated and clears the level for a one-birder.

Like I mentioned before when this happens, my iPhone 4S freezes and I don’t get to see the results or record a score. If anyone else experiences this, I would like to know. However, would like to see some of you get that massive score!

By scott20 (@scott20)

As a side note, the chain reaction has to be very precise. The first pink bottle needs to fall and multiply the pigs, then the second has to follow significantly later once first round of pigs have multiplied. Then, if you’re lucky enough the pink bottle will break at the right location and right time.

Most of the time you just get one set of multiplied pigs for scores around 200,000-250,000. However, if you hit the jackpot shot, you will definitely know!

I believe the pseudo boss pig on the right can be worth at least 180,000 points if you get the blue bottles to topple correctly. 4 pigs —> 12 pigs —> 36 pigs. Not sure yet if the pigs/points accumulate (4+12+36 = 52 pigs) or just (36 pigs). So it’s either 180,000 or 260,000 points just on that boss pig. The pink bottle can puff all of them out for that one-birder. I’ve hit the shot three times now and it overloads the screen and game freezes and closes. It is quite a see with dozens of pigs puffing, I must say.

I aimed the first bird on the pink potion, trying to send it very straight ahead to the right. It pushed the blue bottles onto the rightmost pigs and then fell backwards onto the pigs in “wooden cages”. This resulted in about 275k and only one pig unpopped.

With the second bird I sent the orange potion which – very luckily – landed on the rest of the wood and got the last pig popping. With some more debris points and 3 birds unused I ended up with 322k.

This one is tricky. With the orange potion, I was unable to get past 260k, so I tried the pink potion. This one is much harder to control, but I think you need to aim for the pipe seam just to the top left of it. If it tips the potion a little bit, that can help too, but don’t wait too long before activating the bird. One bad thing too is that his level has a tendency to crash. Two times did I have tons of pink pigs all over with scores that for sure would have beaten my previous score, only to see the app crash. With orange, Isometimes got pigs stuck in the woodwork, so this leel has some issues for sure. But with pink I seem to see more potential for higher scores. Once I had 240k with 3 pigs left and could not get them all destroyed, so had they been destroyed with 4 birds remaining, it would have been around 300k. I just got all things lined up with the pink potion for a clean 320k. It takes some luck to get both blue potions to activate before the pink crashes, and causes all multiplied pigs to get activated with the potion. Lots of points here.

A score of 350k is possible. I had 295k on the first shot with three pigs left. I’d have cleaned them up with the next bird and still had an awesome score if not for the fact that one of the remaining pigs was in the wall. The only way I’ve been able to get into the 300k’s is to not have the pink or orange liquid to spill on the multiplying pigs. If it does, my iPad crashes every time I have a good multiplier.

http://angrybir.de/1dkzSoI

shows the trajectory of the 1st) and its 295130 destruction, to yield that score when combined with the 4 bonus birds. all as described above: to get a good hit rate (of the pink potion, or the small piece of wood, on the blue potion bottles), was sending the 1st to the corner pipe, activating it shortly after impact, for a straight hit. got many crashes and unreachable pigs, but in this case, the three potions hit the pigs in quick succession on their left side, and they replicated and expanded without either happening (don’t know why not in this case; didn’t see much of a pattern in the crashes other than the combination of replication and expansion). 350k looks quite possible indeed.

if the tower remains i usually don’t try to activate the orange potion on (the pigs in) it, but instead lob the 2nd bird so that it bounces into the lower part of the tower, and activate it there to destroy the tower but to also send debris flying upward and to the right hopefully taking out any remaining pigs and material on the other side of the hill. if necessary i follow the same strategy for the 2nd, and lob-and-activate-shortly-after-apex for the 3rd and 4th.

I ask because I initially played all of these when released to help narrow down 3* minimum & then switched to ABS AE. More than a month later, I am now playing all of these until I have “my” acceptable above average score & I was having A LOT of trouble here. My best was my initial 218630, until I just managed a 1-birder for 255960. I can’t even describe how it happened, as I’d looked up from the phone screen & when glancing down saw the 10k bonuses adding up & a score of 255k something … I almost restarted, but I guess my gut said “wait a minute, this is a little different.”

Hi. No probs. I got my 300k before Rovio released V4,
around the middle of Dec. I think that update was to fix some levels that were crashing after producing very high scores, well over 300k. This level was the stand-out one. Now I can’t better 260k ish but that may be just bad flinging? Maybe someone else has mananged more using V4 on iOS since? Another level that I found more difficult was 25/10 but I did actually make an improvement on it yesterday so this “theory” of mine may be rubbish!
