Angry Birds Space Cosmic Crystals Level 7-5 Walkthrough

I must be missing something here. Using every strategy on this page, I knock between 2 and 4 pairs of maces to surface. Planet explodes. Debris blows out into space. RARELY one pig gets popped by a stray shard. Max points ~65k

It doesn’t help that these descriptions of which target are confusing:

1.the two left most maces – two leftmost PAIRS or maces on the same chain? If pairs, then there’s three of those that qualify as leftmost.

2. First bird pushes two of the top spikes – Huh? The top/12:00 ones aren’t hittable. And again, two maces on same chain, or two pairs? I have no idea.

For those who use the “knock down 3rd and 4th pairs from the top with blue, then bump in 5th and 6th with red” technique, how are you getting 5&6 into the field so fast? When I try it, even if I insta-fire red bird at the earliest it allows me, the two pairs blue knocked in land and explode the sphere before 5&6 get far enough inside the field to matter. All they do is fly back into space.

Don’t mean to sound gripey at anyone’s posts, it’s just this level irritates me greatly, and all the ambiguous descriptions of maces/pairs/locations are really confusing :)

I just had something cool happen on this level. Using @rat9 ‘s great strategy, I failed horribly as usual, but the bottom right mace (I mean mace-chain-mace) wound up on the right planet and killed the middle and right pig. It then seemed to forget the wood and stone blocks were attached to it. The mace ball would try to fall down through a block, and the block would vanish and reappear half-submerged beneath the planet surface, pushing it’s way up, while the mace bounced on it. Once the block hit the surface, the mace would continue bouncing on it while it kept appearing on the outer rim of the mace ball, and inside/overlapping the mace ball. It’d do this for about 10-15 seconds, walking slowly to the left, then stop for a few minutes. Eventually, it sandwiched the left pig against the mountain and stayed there for 30 min repeating the bounce cycle. Occasionally, the other attached mace would bounce on one of its stone blocks for some points. It then started walking back to the right a little bit, then reversed direction and nestled up against the pig again. It took about an hour before the pig finally died.

The neat thing? all that bouncing gave me 10,800 damage points! Nothing ever broke, and the pig dying was what ended the level. My awful first shot meant another sub-average score, but this seems like the kind of opportunity that gets those 90k+ scorers doing a happy dance. :)
