One strategy for Fry Me to the Moon level 3-10 is fire the Lazer bird into the small horizontal stone plank near the top of the Space Needle. This should cause the tower to topple eastward and onto the TNT. If necessary, use the Ice and Blue birds to destroy the structure on the west side. Breaking those three mushrooms on the west isn’t a bad idea either. As another alternative, the top of the Space Needle is rather unstable and occasionally will collapse on its own, so perhaps a zero-bird completion is possible.
Many episodes in Space saw incredible fights between Rat and other flingers. Fry Me To The Moon was probably one of the most ferocious battle Rat had to make. Of course, he won, but he could win only by flinging an extraordinary 158k on this level after many flinging months. You can beat his score, but can you do it in ONE day?
Fun Fact: As mentioned above, this level pays homage to the Space Needle, located in Seattle, Washington, USA.
129390 = 2 stars
130290 = 3 stars
Min 3 stars score is 130,000.
Thanks. I apologize if I don’t respond to all of your comments, but I appreciate the help.
I have downloaded angry birds space to my pc, How can I update it so I can get Fry me to the moon?
Refer to the release post
Possible no-birder here. It hasn’t happened yet, but the top of the tower has collapsed twice on me now, both in less than 5 minutes, when I got pulled away by phone calls.
I haven’t managed one either, but the textual description mentions it.
I’ve managed the 0-birder! Unfortunately I didn’t see it, I just kept the phone on the desk beside me and restarted again and again. Only 137 k though.
Also got the 0-birder by waiting only about 10 minutes. Didn’t see it either, 131420, 3 stars.
i got the 0-birder!133,205 3stars,waited about 12 mins.while i was watching tv,i heard the crashes, i wanted to film it and put it on youtube, but i got caught up in the show and missed the action.
Is this still possible? I just don’t see the tower budge at all?
Sorry, mate! Seems like Utopia upgrade killed it (already mentioned further down). I’ve been trying for a couple of days now. Got my highscore before the upgrade. 136k, however, is nothing to be ashamed of :-)
For referance, I’m on android. Could still be possible on other platforms (?)
Thanks prosperity! Still, I am ranked #68 on gamecenter and I need every point to advance farther. There are two 0 birder boards that put me out around 20k and it’s KILLING me!
I can get the tower to topple for me each time by rotating my phone around and tapping in the area around the needle tower. Will happen within 30 seconds of doing that. Really strange especially when it first happened!
Interesting. I’ve discovered that if I tap repeatedly near the base of the tower — isn’t this the “Space Needle” in Seattle where Rovio had a launch party or something? — the structure will wobble, wiggle then topple to the right. This happens for me at least 90 percent of the time. Of course, my score doesn’t reflect this super-secret, amazing find. Oh well, these Fry Me levels have left my brain a bit scrambled. Can’t wait for more! Aloha.
Yes it is Seattle’s Tower where Rovio had a launching party.
The tower will lean to the right without taping the screen.
It is called the Space Needle, and it will topple every time (as far as I can tell) within a minute or 2 without any tapping, etc.
Every time so far I have played the top of the tower falls, but it never explodes the TNT because the floating egg always covers it up. I’ll keep at it though and see what happens.
I’ve had the floating egg actually cause the TNT explosion, but so far it’s not been repeatable
@fillmore1234 – The egg is what sets the tnt off for me on almost every attempt.
Single bird -> 147,500
I shot the laser birds into the first square glass block, just above the three magical mushrooms. I did that several times and once it happend that the tower collapsed and activated the TNT.
Bingo! I was able to do the same thing. You have to wait after firing the laser bird to see if the tower collapses on its own.
Are you activating the purple bird or just shooting him into the glass block?
No activation necessary.
I could reproduce this score 3 times. But I tried maybe 50 times… :-D
Just shoot the glass block and wait until the tower collapses. This should happen within 5-10 seconds after you shot the bird. If not, just restart the level and try again. And make sure you collect all 3 mushrooms with the stones.
147,500
146,300
135,460
Same here. You just have to wait for the tower to fall and towards the right side too
What are you talking about? This produces nothing but a side wall falling on three mushrooms. Can you elaborate please?
@heathen – if you hit that glass block on the left structure just right it will totally collapse, and the shock wave (I assume) can sometimes bring down the entire space needle, and if you’re lucky the whole right side of the screen will collapse. It is a possible one bird shot – I’ve used it myself to get my current score over 140K. It’s going to take a lot of patience though – it may not happen for you for many many shots.
Got this to work on my first try! Thank you! :)
wow – incredibly lucky – good for you! :-)
Thanks PlayDBird!
The only “lucky” part was that all the pigs died on the left structure where I used my lazer bird. Stone blocks from the structure itself fell on the bottom horizontal glass block and killed the pigs there. :)
I meant you were lucky it happened for you so quickly. I threw hundreds of birds at that block to get my score. :-)
Either way, I appreciate your compliment :)
You’re quite welcome :-)
Interesting — It seems to take longer for the Space Needle to collapse if you shoot a bird than if you don’t.
This is what I have learned about this level:
1. Grrrrrrrr.
2. If you don’t get the one-bird from the first shot, 3* is still attainable with 2 birds. There has to be debris from the tower leaning on the front structure when you fire Ice Bird just above the stone plank and the structure falls left.
3. If you don’t get the one-bird, don’t bother throwing Ice Bird unless you have over 75k and have killed the pig on the far right.
4. I got my highest score with 3 birds. Lazer to small stone plank at thinnest part of tower. Ice to just above stone plank on left structure. Blue just above stone debris left over to take out remaining ice and pigs. I had 82k after first shot.
Wow! Sometimes I find myself reading my past strats and wonder how in the world I have helped anyone. Well, this time around I had someone ask for help and I have come up with a better first step than “Grrrrrrr.”
First off, since all of that self-collapse business with the space needle, they have made this sucker nearly a non-collapse. So you have to hit this thing hard and right where it counts. It also appears that the TnT is pretty hard to set off. This is what I came up with. Fully zoomed out. No Power Ups
Lazer: Just behind the sling, you will see a slope. The slope ends where Frosh’s beak is. Pull Lazer down until the bottom side of him is parallel to the slope. Release. You want to activate his boost just as he clears the first structure and you want your finger to be just to the left of the tip of the horizontal plank of wood. This should send the tower into a split scenario and you should cross your fingers the TnT goes off. If you hit this just right, Lazer will actually go through the tower and beat the egg to the TnT. If Lazer activates the TnT, you will get a bigger explosion. As soon as you take out the horizontal wood plank and you see the tower start to split, you need to aim…
Frosh: At the lower half of the lowest ice square of the first structure. If you hit it just right, the bird will break the ice square and freeze the stone plank it sits on. Then the stone square will fall and break the stone plank. Cross your fingers and hope you get all 3 mushrooms and the full structure crumbles including that elusive pig on the bottom right of the first structure.
Blues & Big T: 20k
I cleared average 4 out of 20 tries using this 2-bird method.
@rdnzlirps82 I’m the loser who asked for your help, and I greatly appreciate you taking all of the time you did to re-do this level and strat. I think this level just hates me…it’s a sham, because Seattle is one of my favorite cities. I think I may need to boycott Starbucks until I get the score I’m looking for….:(
@rdnzlirps82 Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!!!!!! I’m running to Starbucks, what would you like me to pick up for you?? ;) I went from 137k to 144610 yahoo!!!
I want you to march yourself up to your room, look at yourself in the mirror and apologize to ypurself for calling yourself a loser, young lady. Then grab your purse, drive to Starbucks and buy me a latte, please.
I knew you could do it, silly goose. You always have a way of taking my strats and doing better than me. Remember GGGL 1-3?! Great job! Great score!
@rdnzlrips82 Yes Sir!!!!!! On my way to Starbucks! :D
@rdnzlrips82 Thanks for your excellent description of the strategy for this level. It helped me raise my score by over 7k !!!
@rdnzlrips82 thank you Ripsy, getting the lazer bird to the TNT first really seemed to help. I’m not sure how everything managed to collapse so completely, but I was barely above average before.
Your strats are always helpful, even when the 1st step is “grrrr”. I’ll gladly go on a Starbuck’s run for you anytime :)
@karen68 No problem. I see I have another happy customer that managed to destroy my score. *scoffs* I really need to stop sharing my strats if I am ever going to make it in this world. :D
Just kidding. Nice shooting there. Always happy to help you and anyone else. And I will take a Venti Iced Vanilla Latte. No Fat. Light Ice. Could I possibly get a Cran-Orange Muffin, too?
Well, nearly 2 years later, had to come back and complete a mission to open Brass Hogs levels. Thank you so much @rdnzlrips82! Did a variation on your awesome strategy, since I couldn’t get the top of the Space Needle to topple as you described. I followed your trajectory to line up LB to the slope and targeted the weakest part of the tower, then quickly launched Frosh into the lower ice block. With a lot of luck (and fingers crossed), got to improve by 10K!
Here is my video
Tower collapses but doesn’t kill all pigs
This is so frustrating. Looks like I will be stuck at 131k for quite a while. I don’t even know how many times I have played this level and I have not even gotten the slightest wiggle out of the needle much less a collapse. To quote Alton Brown, “Your patience will be rewarded” but boy would it be nice to see that needle come down at least once. Not asking for a high score or even a 1 birder (yet), just fall over for pete’s sake!
And if you are wondering if I am re-starting too soon, I set my screen timeout to 10 minutes. I fire the first bird at the hollow ice make sure all piggies are dead there and then set the phone down. When the screen times out, I check it. Nothing, nada, bubkiss. Restart and try again.
Hello, @sparty83. I am rdnzlrips82. I figured I would introduce myself, since we are in the same boat. I see where the structure offsets in the middle, but it never falls. Oh well, at least we know we got our scores by skill and determination. :| Right? I’m not really buying it either.
I don’t think I have even seen the offset in the middle.
I got 131K using 2 birds before I read the tips here. Basically first bird at the top of the needle, fell over and took out right side. second bird into the left structure. It fell over but did not take out any of mushrooms. After I saw that i figured 140k was a snap. Haven’t even come close.
I am using an iPad and have found that the tower always collapses on its own ONLY if I do nothing first. I don’t even touch the screen. If I do fire the first bird into the glass block, the tower NEVER collapses. I’ve found that even if I pull laser back and aim while I wait for the collapse it never happens. 131200 with 2-bird strategy. Really want to get the 1-birder to work.
Same here, that needle stands rock solid. By now I have even figured out a couple of ways to hit the top platform without causing any collapse at all… I wonder whether it’s an Android vs iOS thing?
@crazyHobbes, I would like to think that, but some of the people who have mentioned the collapse are using android. I am also an Android but still no collapse so I gave up on it for a bit and was able to increase my score to 141k
First bird at the top of the needle. Got lucky and had debris take out right side and 2 of the 3 left piggies. Score after first bird, approx 87k
Second bird into the hollow ice taking out remaining pig and structure fell over taking out the 3 mushrooms. 121k plus 2 bird 20k bonus.
Good work, @sparty83! I’ve had the same thing happen, just not the score. I’ll keep grinding on this one.
Finally got above average! Although, I’m not quite sure it was patience. More like “Luck of the Fall.”
I am losing patience quickly I have been at this for days…maybe over a week I ca.t even 3 star it…this level and 3-7 maybe the end of space carreer ..I am a very patient person..but this is ridiculous :(!
Well the ” whine factor ” worked well 3 stars, above average and the Space Needle Falls! :)
:l now I have to go whine on 3-7! :(
@kathy – fire lazer in a gentle arch toward the base of the tower, then redirect to the bottom of the tower to topple it to the right, if everything works right debris will fall on the TNT and clear the right side of the level. As the tower is falling shoot Ice through the hollow ice block just above the mushrooms. Falling debris might clear the level at this point, or you will be able to clean up with the blues.
Let me know how it goes.
edit – redirect to the underside of the top part of tower to make it topple.
@Burbman ty for your help…I really dint have much luck aiming at the bottom of needle, lazee. bird dindnt mix well with stone:( he crashed pretty hard..he was so mad he turned 3 darker shades of purple…I ended up going for plank on top and made average ( barely) ty for your advice though:) what say we go have a drink at the Bloated Pig? just going to stop in 3-7 for about a half hour..then heading over for a good string Pig Killer:)
As I mentioned above, it takes longer to collapse if you fire bird first. Right now it doesn’t seem to be collapsing at all after 1st bird!
Hey all I think it was said in other posts that the tower is unstable. i believe that maybe after you have shot the purple bird into the ice the tower ‘MAY’ fall. It also may fall if you just do nothing for your first shot and just leave the phone alone until you see the tower fall. It does not always happen though.
I have had it happen 6xs today and still I could not get higher than 133*
Can anyone let me know if they’ve gotten over 140K WITHOUT one birding this level? I’m at 136K and that was with a lucky one birder. I can’t see how to go over 140K without one birding….
I have been at 135k with only one bird left.
I’m currently at 141k with 2 birds. See my description above.
On mine tower free falla a lot . But has yet to blow anything up
There appears to be a weak spot about halfway up the tower. I’ve hit it with the purple bird and had the tower break in two, falling to the left, which then causes all sorts of debris and sets off the TNT – though you have to be patient. It doesn’t happen every time, maybe 1 out of 10 tries. Anyhow, it takes out everything to right and sometimes one on left. Then use next bird to finish the left block tower. Got 141 that way. You just have to keep trying and it eventually works.
Can you list the levels that have a 0 bird solution? I enjoy watching the destruction. I remember playing several, but the only one I have retained is Ham Em High 14 4.
Thanks
There is a discussion thread in forum regarding self-destructive and unstable levels. Can someone with html skills post a link for @wandrews1944?
Check out the forum. A list has been compiled there.
That’s kind of scary @amslimfordy. We both mentioned that at the same time.
Found the list on the forum. Thanks for your response!
While this level can be completed without birds or with one bird, I find that with two birds it is the easiest to get above 140k. I do this by firing the purple bird to the top of the tower ie, the three horizontal woods. Then without waiting for the collapse to complete, I fire the ice bird into the ice block on the left structure. The merit of doing this is to allow the left structure (after turning into ice) to be crushed by any falling debris. With this way, I got numerous times above 140k, though I believe ultimately the high score should be obtained by 0-birder.
Did anyone manage a zero birder? The gravity pull is pretty weak to cause any serious damage to the left structure.
I did manage once, but the score is only 13.6k. Part of the reason is the three mushrooms remained intact. I have tried like 50 times already, and have pretty much given up on further trials. But I guess given enough number of times, there might be a lucky instance when the structure crashes well by itself.
This level is driving me nuts…I can’t improve on my current score of 136K, despite the suggestions here and some other videos on youtube. Any other suggestions? I’ve tried shooting the glass block on left structure with the first bird..that works sometimes. I’ve tried taking out the tower first…sometimes that works. But I can’t get to 140 which is my goal. Any suggestions would be welcome…thanks.
Typical to the nest – I ask for help then I get what I need almost immediately. One birder, shot to the glass block on the left structure…everything collapsed just right. Thanks, Nest!
haha, it’s strange how that happens sometimes – I wish it would happen to me occasionally, lol! My score’s a pitiful 130k ATM! :)
Wish I could offer more than “just keep at it” but that’s what happened to me….
Check out what @Andy has to say above – that’s what worked for me…
I’ve been trying that, and so many times there’s one pig left! Oh well, I’ll keep at it! :)
And bingo! 141k – finally the whining pays off, lol! :)
LOL – the Nest was smiling on us both today :-)
Indeed! Still a few below average, but I’m working on them! :)
Well, I’m on Ipad and my tower is yet to fall or even sway for that matter so here I am…attempting the “whine” factor. I have only gotten high score of 136310 which is above average but not good enough seeing as so many others have gotten the 0 birdie or at the very least a one birdie with sending bird in at ice square, It gets the first piglets but the tower still doesn’t fall…still no collapse…Whine, Whine, Whine, lol ;-)
I have achieved a zero birder one time as well. Score was just barely above the leaderboard average at 137,930.
Thanks for the subtle tip about firing the ice bird right away HKG. I tend to admire my first shot until after everything falls but when firing the ice bird right away, I also get many scores above 140k. I still send the first bird to the joint in the column.
This works really well and ought to be shaded blue as alternate strat. Got 144K. Amazing that it really does seem to make a difference if you firs the ice bird right away.
Has anyone got the 0 bird or even the 1 bird solution on Android? I’ve played over 100 times and never get either. Best score at present is 134,560 using the video strat.
No.
Android user here, not even the sightest wobble in the needle. Will keep working on this level but not expecting it to fall.
Considering that I can destoy the lower portion of the tower and have the top remain suspended in air on my Kindle, I would say the zero bird solution is not likely on an android device.
Just for info. I am now up to 250 attempts on my Samsung Droid and not a flicker of movement from tower. When I reach 300 it’ll be time to move on :)
After all this it must be a miracle of how that egg didn’t break… Or maybe that’s it super-power after it entered the wormhole!
Ha!, I am thinking after surviving a direct hit explosion from a box of TNT it must be hard boiled!
Finally! 141,720! 2 Birds. 1st into the horizontal wood at the top of the needle and immediately firing the ice bird into the hollow ice block on left. Still didn’t crack the egg though.
i was able to make the tower fall without tapping or using a bird
After numerous attempts to do it with 0 or 1 bird (that involved waiting for the tower to fall) and not getting above 140k, I finally got my best score (148560) with two birds and without waiting. Close to the video, except with the lazer bird I hit that spot of the tower where it normally breaks on its own, and fired the ice bird fast, before the tower fell. This resulted in a lot of destruction. I find this 2-bird strategy the most reliable giving above 140k score more often than other (0 or 1 bird) strategies.
Wow. 134k to 144k in minutes, versus hours with all other methods.
I’ve got my best score with the same methods
This is a nice method, reliable, and fun. I had grown weary of this level, trying to improve my score and nothing working. I would recommend this for anyone trying to break into the 140’s. A very consistent solution…
@annach Great Strategy annach! I also could not get above 140k. Just to clarify that the “spot of the tower where it normally breaks on its own” I assumed it to be where the small grey stone horizontal plank meets the vertical wood and ice supports underneath the Space Needle’s deck structure. If that is the same area you referenced it worked great. Second bird as you described.
In the future you may want to consider placing a “check mark” in the alternate strategy box below.
@wrw01 – thanks, I am glad this strategy worked for you too. As for checking the alternate stratrgy box, I tried but it did not work, my finger hit “Post comment” instead. Either this box is located inconveniently or my finger is very clumsy, but it happend twice to me already, most recently when I posted a comment for one of the Rio “trophy room” levels.
I was never able to get a very good score with the collapse. This is the strategy that I found most helpful. In fact, when I came back to this level to improve my score a bit (from 141K), this worked like a charm. I got my current score on my first attempt
143610 as a no birder. Just waited for the tower to topple on its own. Took everything out
Well I finally got the no-birder! I couldn’t believe the damage! The tower falls pretty much every time I restart this level but it usually doesn’t set off the TNT. This time it did and even threw a couple if pieces up to take out some of the snow at the top of the cliff! ! !
That’ll change the playing field for the rest of us! Good (non) shooting!
wow, that’s a great score! but bad news for the rest of us, now that we know it’s possible.. ;)
Wow, that’s a really nice score! I know what I’ll be doing now! :D
Holy destruction, Birdman!! Congratulations @fdslady. Feel free to join us at The Bloated Pig in the forum for celebratory drinks. The first one is on me.
Wow! How many tries did it take?
I have no idea but it was a bunch. I played the level for a half a day at the most I think.
Playing this level for the first time on my kindle and found the opposite of the self collapsing tower. I froze the foundation of the space needle and the lower portion of the tower collapsed leaving the top portion that usually falls in ios hanging in midair. Kind of funny!
Took a picture of the screen and emailed it to Rovio. We will see If I hear anything back.
I also have had the middle part of the tower just hanging in mid air. I think I got it by knocking the top off, tnt blowing out the bottom and the middle just hanging there. Thought it was wierd. (android phone version)
Added this to list of self-destroying and unstable levels. Haven’t seen total destruction, despite MANY tries. Strange thing just happened: top of Space Needle fell onto mustached pig, but didn’t break bubble, so it just stayed there resting on bubble!!
That has happened to me many times. I have only gotten the total collapse once, and the score was not very high. I did see at least one person record a really high score on a collapse though, so this definately belongs on the list.
Bored today, so playing this level over and over looking for a zero birder. Just got one that only got 124k and two stars. Talk about a let down!
@orangebird09 How did you get your top score?
In looking at the leaderboards, I would say it is safe to say @orangebird09 has figured something out that carries across many of the levels, as their scores are consistently way above the second place when they have the top score, but they are not even up to the average on more than half of the other levels. So far they have not opted to share the secret, so I guess it is up to the rest of us to track it down.
I question the legitimacy of these scores for precisely the reason you provide.
Has anyone else noticed that if you are going for the zero-birder and the TNT does NOT blow, that the score is always exactly 27240? I have had the TNT blow many times but no zero-birder yet. I hate the light gravity model… So painful watching things fall slowly.
most of the time
but not always there are lots of variations for what happens when tnt explode
good luck
I never expected a no birder. I was trying to better my score by letting it start off and it just happened.
Been playing this level a lot today, and have had many instances where the TNT did not explode, but none of them had that exact score. I have been anywhere from 19,800 to 30,120 in that situation.
0 birder is crazy in this level
i wish i had one (-:
my tower falls all the time but not even close to clean everything
@fidslady — How did you get your high score? Help would be appreciated. Thanks
It a no birder so there’s no stragety, sorry to say. All I did was keep letting it explode on its own while working on my score and it just happened.
what system was that on, I myself play on iphons 3GS Iphone 4S and Ipad 2, when doing these no-birder stages I align my scores and wait on all 3 at the same time, however, this has pointed out that other devices have other self-destructions.
The best example is level cold cuts 2-18 i was playing this on iphone 4s it would collapse every time (+50) and give me exactly 71120 points every time (except 1 time).
When I got home and tried it on my ipad it didn’t collapse once the first 10 tries. On my 3GS it collapsed but gave other scores. My 4S kept giving 71120 every time. Now I’m no statistician, but that looks more than coïncidence.
So my question is on which device was this no birder?
What is the shiny, simmering golden thing on the outside of the base?
Try clicking on the Golden Eggsteroid Alert ;)
I think the utopia update killed the wobbly tower. Now it never falls.
i think you are right , spent my dinner break in work helping a friend improve her scores and not once did it fall !!!!
You can always tell when it’s about to fall when the little pig gets scared, and he got scared every time I’d restart the level but it never fell. Looks like I’m pretty much stuck with this score… :(
You can get up to at least 146 k with the two birds tactic ( hit the joint of tower and immediately let frost go through the bottom ice block)
Definitely the best way to get +146k. No matter if the pig on the floor is not destroyed with your second bird. Some debris from the tower can get him when tnt explodes.
Oh wow!!! THANKS!!!!! Just improved my score up to 143460! Thanks!
Yea, seems that way. I have had tons of 143k+ scores now ibut can’t seem to crack 146k.
Yes, I noticed after upgrading the tower is not so shaky.
Correct. They fixed it. The tower does not fall any more.
Lots of comments saying tower no longer collapses on its own. Has anyone see it fall, with or without total destruction since latest Utopia update?
Curious to know what highest score is with the update (i.e., tower doesn’t move).
