Angry Birds Space Cold Cuts Level 2-17 Walkthrough

Top score proof (actually, double top score proof in a single pic): https://www.angrybirdsnest.com/members/sglouk/album/picture/16829/

I wasted several hours by performing a high second shot through wooden square block of 2nd tower. Terrence passes easily through tower and gets rid of pig pile to the right, however, the tower base is never significantly damaged by infalling upper part of tower, so that score above 110k are rare, and even exceedingly rare above 112k.

Then, I read more carefully @swelld‘s comment, are realized that he was recommending to aim at stone base of tower, which seemed to me a priori impossible to destroy in this way. I tried, however, and quickly realized that indeed the base of tower was far more brittle than I expected. The hard part for this 2nd shot is aiming. However, if you play on a computer, you will easily use the moonrock below sling as an aiming device since your mouse pointer will be above it (I noted carefully where the “wrist” of the pointer shoud be positionned with respect to some background craters for both shots, allowing a close to perfect repeatability).

Terrence very easily completely collapses 2nd tower once you have found the appropriate aiming point. The annoying part of the story is that perfect vertical crumbling of tower is fairly common, leaving you with a frustrating 90k+ score, and 3 surviving pigs + 1 extra bird, i.e., a score that would have been in the 115k range should something had been sent to the right of the tower. Another, less common, possibility is a tumbling of the tower, which then inefficiently collapses, but gets rids of the pigs, for a score around 113k.

And then, from time to time (once every two hours, I would say, provided you aim well every time), you get the magic combination of a perfect crumble of tower plus something (usually the drawbridge-like wooden part) that takes care of the pigs. This gives you scores above 115k. I was not recording my 117450 top score run (which I obtained in two hours once my aiming point for 2nd shot was settled, together two 113k scores), but spent two hours more to get another almost perfect shot, above @swelld‘s previous top score:

My recollection of my top score shot is that I had 43.5k after 1st shot, with 5 parts from the first tower remaining (plus one part from 2nd tower after 2nd shot), which clearly leaves the possibiliy of an extra 2 or 3k improvement for dedicated flingers who would reset if 1st shot is not perfect, i.e. at 46k or above (but train well for 2nd in any case, as it is not easy).
