Our strategy for Surf and Turf level 30 is to fling the yellow bird at the wood beams holding the water wheel in place. This will cause the wheel to roll to the left and fall down below. Get ready and fling the bomb bird right after the wheel hits the ground below. If you penetrate the stones surrounding the wheel you should be able to blow up the mustache pig and — when the wheel unfolds — take out the rest of the pigs on the ramp. Now fling the yellow bird up at the structure where the remaining the pigs are hiding. If needed, use the bomb bird to mop things up. The score in the video below is 92,110.
Version 2022:
A couple things you can try here. It’s really nice if you can destroy that wooden arm on the right, starting with the piece that sticks directly out (in) of the wall. Lots of points when the stones hit the ground.
Yellow bird – 2 options.
Easy, and guaranteed to work, not as many points. simply take out the 5 pigs on the hill, with a nice easy throw. You don’t need too much force behind it, or the bird will bounce right over a pig or two.
Much more difficult: use King Sling to take out the arm, like I did here.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GgdNqrB2k1I
Black bird – aim for the 1 o’clock section of the wheel, killing mustache pig, and pushing the tower off to the right, and detonating TNT. If you used king sling to take out the arm, that’s great, but you will need to be lucky here, and hope that the wheel you just partially destroyed descends upon the pigs on the hill.
Shoot the sticks holding the wheel.
When it rolls down & hits the ground, toss the bomb bird into the center.
Detonate the bomb & it will unroll.
(Really creepy to see it sit there and twitch…)
Finish off the stick house with the 3rd bird.
1. Y/b Take out the Five piggies Down the Hill.
2. b/b High arc into the wheel at the 1 o’ clock Stone. Takes Out mostly everything on the Upper side.
Top Score for the Moment with 109140.
Thanks @cheetaa! Great method!
I like all the methods described here, my problem is that I can’t seem to make ’em work right. I finally crossed the 3-star threshold, so that’s enough for now, but later…..
This one did it for me – 2 tries! Thanks.
Wow! THX for a top 50 score on the 1st try!
The best method is to NOT take out the bottom pigs with the yellow bird…waste him and then try to shoot the bomb bird into the 1o clock segment of the wheel, killing the big pig and then the wheel spazzes out and destroys everything before regaining its shape as a wheel and rolling down to kill the remaining pigs! Got a score of 109400 this way.
Instead of wasting the first bird, I arced him over the wheel, accelerating through the pig into the stone. A good hit will topple the tower and take out the crane. After the 1 o’clock shot to the wheel, the wheel will usually retake its shape, roll to the left, and take out the pigs on the slope. Sometimes the wheel will roll to the right. When that happens use the final YB to take out the pigs on the slope. I’ve gotten +110K that way.
Hector’s method worked by far the best. Great job. That is how I got my score. Thanks a ton!!!
I did the same, but used a moonshot with yellow to come down on and break the crane. Scores from the stone blocks can really vary depending on just how they come down.
@burbman Thanks Burbman for the tip on the moon shot. Worked great.
@hector Thanks Hector for the strategy and a great way to complete this level. Combined with burbman’s tip it was outstanding.
Thank you both for posting.
Great strat, just started trying it and can see the potential already.
I used the moonshot “Nev Bomb” and followed this approach to get my score – it’s not the best but I’ll take it and be happy. The hard shot in this series, IMO, is the one o’clock shot with the bomb bird on the wheel. I kept hitting it at high noon, which is useless.
Thanks all :-)
I thought that I came up with an original strategy only to see that Burbman thought of it first. Near vertical launch and immediate ‘after burner’ of Yellow Bird to sever wooden crane then Black Bird onto 1:00 position of stone wheel. I seemed to get more frequent snap back of the wheel to the left if the wooden tower was intact. Concur that a lot depends on favorable fallout.
AB S/T 30, 121920 w/2 Birds..
Likewise with the y/b a notch off vertical with an almost spontaneous screen tap hopefully taking out the the crane and any misc collateral.. The now famous “1 o’clock” blk/b plus a very twitchy snake-like-thing (broken wheel) going over the edge and rolling over those helpless pigs finally (!!) gave a good score.
A fun level w/o “Power Ups”. Save our game, boycott ROVIO’s scheme!
thx..
Boo, had a potential 127k but had to waste my third bird on the lone pig sitting at the left on the bottom.
Thanks Hector … that worked perfectly! 102,400
TY @hector and @burbman, used a combo of both strats and gained around 30k!
Yep. Just as jwgardenwiz. Thought I had a new strat and was keen to post!! It works though.
140400 !!!!
With slightly different start.
First to get the 5 bottom pigs
Second 1 o’clock shot
On average there is less point but once in a while the wheel jumps to the right causing serious damage.
wow! WTG, nice score!
Holy cow, I was wondering how your total score jumped so much lol, very nice.
Nice score manu, I updated your comment to reflect the alt. strat. highlight ;)
Wow, managed to replicate exactly what you described with a lot of destruction (I thought) still 16.5k behind you! How much of the wheel was destroyed Manu?
@eweber
I think the wheel was pretty much crushed. Everything happened pretty fast but I think it broke in half while taking the crane and both pieces landed in the area where the stone from the crane also landed causing major damage. I want to say that the score was already above 100k before the landing and the point kept coming.
Good deal, thanks bud. Will keep on tryin!
Just to be clear, I’m not asking you to prove your score, just saying it would have been cool to see how much destruction you had. That’s what I would have done for a score so much above the rest of the field.
No issue I would be suspicious too ;)
https://www.angrybirdsnest.com/members/eweber/album/picture/875/
@eweber, I have to be honest and say I have been very curious about this score. I have tried your method and n/a’s method hundreds of times and can’t even crack into the 120k range as many others have. When I reached my score, there was not much left, but I could possibly see another 10k in potential damage, so i figured i just needed a bit more luck. Seeing a single high score 15k above everybody else generally causes suspicion, but I have to trust you being honest here. Since you’re on iPad, it would have been cool if you had taken a quick screen shot, at the last moment of destruction, to show how little was left.
Wow! what a destruction and it went real fast.
Exactly as manu said…
The wheel split in two, the two parts jumping to the right on the crane and almost everything was destroyed.
Here is the highscore screenshot: http://angrybir.de/15OX257
I finally broke in the 120k range here, wheel cracked in half, went flying all over the place. I could see some more left for points. I think the 140k however was a complete exception, as I have hit the exact sequence hundreds of times and generally only score just over 100.
@eweber, I think you misunderstood me as far as screen shot goes. I did not need to see a screen print of the score, as screen prints now are meaningless with PUs around. I just said it would have been cool had you been able to snap a shot of the destruction right at the point where the wheel was crumbled, to show how much was even left. I sometimes do this on the iPad, just when I think my score will be a high core that my stand.
Congrats – this score will have everyone changing their approach…
Tried the @eweber (Manu) strat and after many tries got lucky – I hit it, but not for nearly as many points as him. Got just under 128K – good for third place at the moment.
Manu Malin — thanks for the insight. I saw the same violent movement to the right but I was executing the strategy described by n/a. Having cleared the tower with my first bird with that strategy, the jerk to the right of the wheel did no additional damage and it left the pigs below safe. This happened several times and I only saw it as a problem. You saw it as a potential solution. After I go fishing this morning, I’ll settle down with a cold beer and try to match your results. Who needs Power Ups to have fun?
Manu Malin – Update — after many many attempts, I could only replicate your effect a few times but at much lower scores. Highest was 121,070 — just short of my posted high. I could consistantly score between 95k and 105k and did perfect my 1 o’clock shot. My recommendation for others is to obtain a high score using an alternative method and then try to increase it with Manu’s method when you have time. Clearly Manu’s experience shows that there is potential for high score. You just need favorable fallout and that takes a lot of tries. Hope that your fortune is better than mine.
@eweber AWSOME score manu ,that wheel is alive ,I keep expecting it to throw the birds back at the sling ..well done
That wheel has done some…very strange things.
It’s hurled itself right, left, and it’s laid flat on the stone shelf twisting and convulsing in ways that are a bit disturbing.
I have seen that wheel self-destruct and completely fly apart, but it is rare. If the tension becomes too great, it will do that on rare occasions, and it will disintegrate 4 or 5 more stone blocks.
The twisting wheel has happened to me before. Maybe a physics bug.
@manu malin Wow, you weren’t kidding about the wheel jumping. Lol. After the blast, the wheel flexed out, spasmed, and when it rebounded, it leapt up over everything and crashed onto the mess on the right.
Great strategy…..how in the world do you find a strategy like tis one?
I know these posts are a few months old @eweber and i hate to bother you:( but if you could just give me an aiming point, or point of start to get bomb bird at 1:00 i can’t seem to get past noon and if i to i just end up in tower, I’m not a top shooter like the others in this thread i need a little more detailed and guidance..again sorry to bother you…ty for all your past help:)
Great score btw !!!
OMG right after i posted this i hit the 1:00 spot lol;)
That doesn’t mean i don’t still need help though;) ;) thanks if you can..
@eweber your not human, you can’t be!! ;) Amazing score and Thank you for posting your strat which helped me gain 30+k in points!! I certainally wish you’d have pity on us mere humans in the nest and post your strats more often, however I’m super thankful you took pity on us this time and posted this one!!!
As an aside it is incredibly disconcerting to watch the wheel toss itself around as if in it’s death throws, I believe someone above said creepy and that’s an eerily apt description! It’s a thing of nightmares but great at giving you good scores as it goes about it’s final death toll. Bleck!!!
108570/2
great @eweber
no luck with the second
here my video:
https://youtu.be/2MAfHNG6ztQ
its funny too see how the pigs will get chrushed by the giant wheel
@eweber i think you may have just gotten a 1/100,000 shot. It is truly a golden score. Of all the facebook players, with/without power ups, nobody has gotten a shot like you. congratulations.
Make that a 1/1,000,000 shot I guess!
Oh Lord won’t you buy me an Apple iPad. My friends all have Androids I must make amends. Spent all
my life on a small screened iphone… sorry Janice. I just want a Pad to make scores like the the boy Malin. Well done mate. Awesome score.
lol I would like an IPad as well! would make it a lot easer to count those pixels
Yepyepyep (As the boy in the local Asian food store says). Am I the only Brit on here? Just wondering!
Well Yes and No. I think it’s more difficult to carry out Slim’s strat but each to their own.
You’ve got a great score @steviep147 – which approach did you use? I’ve got mine by going for the crane with the moon shot and then the 1:00 shot on the wheel. Did you do something like that or did you try Manu’s shot? Or something else entirely?
Exactly as Manu actually. Been trying off and on for days. My first decent score was the
moon shoot then saw what Manu had done. The wheel just goes over to the right and the score appears! Weird but wonderful!!
Wow! Crazy level with so many various outcomes!!! The “Wheel” has a mind of it’s own and it seems it acts differently almost every time. Let me say thank you to Rovio for making such an interesting level…not that it makes up for the PU disappointment however, they are very talented over there and this level is a fine example and very creative indeed ;)
Now let me give a big thank you to @cheetaa for coming up with the two glorious shots , the YB to the bottom piglets and the now “Famous” 1 o’clock shot! Also a big thank you to @eweber (Manu) who took the time to share and validate with us that these two shots are the best way to go so that the rest of us know (as there are many good strats posted). I for one appreciate knowing this one has the best potential. With that said…we,already addicted AB players,will play this level over and over…and over in hopes of having the same outcome with the highly likely chance that we will not (lol)…but we will keep coming back just to try again, and again and again so thank you to both of you for sharing ;-)
Hi @kathy. I see that you are one of many who got a successful “1 o’clock” shot here. I’m currently trying to improve some of my lowest ABO scores and this one is driving me nuts. I can’t even break 100k, let alone get anywhere near my original 112k. I know it was ages ago, but can you remember how often you got the wheel to break as described? I’ve played more than 200 shots straight now, and not once has the wheel broken. It just splints and bends and that’s it. I’m even wondering if it’s been nobbled by Rovio to make it more difficult. Any help you can give would be much appreciated! 🐇
Hey There @peejaydee27 🐣 fancy seeing you here, lol, I’m doing the same thing to improve some of my ABO scores and get feathers, the AngryBirdsGodess only knows Why!!
Unfortunately I don’t remember How I managed the shot, or even which bird I used! But I tried it a couple times and I think I used Manu Malin strat with YB first taking out the pigs on the bottom, Then Bomb bird to try and hit the stone block just over the top right ceneter of the wheel¿ I’ll give it a couple more flings But It is possible that Rovio has ‘fixed’ the app since and the wheel just doesn’t break as it used to! I know I didn’t get the Whole wheel to collapse as others have mentioned, that i would remember.
The only other thing I can think of is the wheel falling and slowly bouncing around, I’ll give it a try. no promises 🐣
Well @peejaydee27 I managed to make the shot, but in taking the screenshot I lost the game lol, so I didn’t see what, if anything, happened next, but I got the screenshot hope it helps, possibly with a little adjustment? I’ll try again but for now
Screenshot_2019-11-15-22-04-40.png
I took out the bottom pigs with YB, then bomb bird as shown..@peejaydee27
bomb fell into the wheel, dropped in between the 12:00 and 1 o’clock spokes, that’s all i know lol!
Perhaps Rovio turned their clocks back, or ahead depending on the time of year, knowing them they got it mixed up 😂
Thanks so much for the feedback @kathy. I can only assume that Rovio have indeed made this more difficult – I’ve lost count now how many times I’ve made the one o’clock shot just like in your screenshot, but the wheel never breaks. Could just be my bad luck on the other hand. It would be interesting to see what kind of success others would have now if this was offered as a daily challenge maybe!?
I love tufr and Surf levels 16-30. For the first time after I started playing Angry Birds I have above average on all levels. Yep! I am getting better and better. At first I just wanted to pass level better than just one star and after getting three stars I never checked other players results. I was very satisfied with my scores. Now, mostly thanks to Angry Birds Nest I am giving this game an other level – try to achieve above avarage.
This site is the best gaming community on the world. Thank you people out there.
Well, since I was bored and had nothing to do, I broke down and did a PAT for those wondering exactly how to break average on this level. I was fully zoomed in and used NO POWER UPS.
1st Bird – Pull back and up to aim down the hill. If you see daylight between the two Yi sling straps, pull down until there isn’t. Release and watch the bird take out the pigs down the hill. You should get 25,700 every time.
2nd Bird – Pull straight down and left until there is a space between the bird and the sling base equal to the width of a spoke of the wheel. This shot takes the most precision so you will have to adjust. There is no give on the 1 o’clock shot. Let Bomb fall on his own and watch the wheel act like a fish out of water. Let the level end on its own. I had it go for about 5 minutes while the wheel bounced around once. The possibilities are endless. But don’t expect a high score the first try. You have to earn this one.
@rdnzlrips82 thank you so much:) i kept thinking everyone meant 10:00 lol
I got it kinda now that’s a pretty precise shot i can’t thank you enough:)
Happy Valentines Day hope your day was special:)
I did it this way. I hit the TNT box and a piece of wood got stuck inside of the circle. Then I hit the circle of rocks (still at the top) which fell and killed the pigs at the bottom. 140k? And I thought I had 1st place. Wow. I’ll try to get the last few stars on those levels.
@lesleyg voiced my sentiments. This is a fun level and one I will return to in pursuit of a higher score. So far my highest of 114k was accomplished with moon shot & the 1’oclock. Very entertaining level. Good luck to all and have fun :-)
After much grief and many attempts, 100070 on 4 birds! Combination of several strategies here with one variation.
1) Yellow bird, very high arc to take out the arm holding the bricks.
2) Bomb bird, penetrate the wheel at 11 o’clock position and detonate next to the pig.
3) Yellow bird, take out the planks under the wheel and let it roll left (takes out the pigs after it lands and rolls down).
4) Bomb bird to take out the structure and remaining pigs. :)
Can only manage 111,850 via the Manu method despite 100+ successfull 1 o’clock a hits. That darn wheel simply will not break right… yet.
I’ll attempt the n/a hector method…
After a dozen or so attempts via the n/a hector method, slightly improved my score over Manu method that took me hundreds of attempts. 112,070 for now, will return to this one another day…
I’m back! Five months after my last stop here, and after only four attempts using the Manu Method, that darn wheel finally broke right!
One great thing about the wheel breaking right, I don’t have to watch that gross thrashing of the wheel. In future attempts, if the wheel gets snagged on the platform, I’ll reset immediately. When the wheel broke right for me, it did so very rapidly, first jumping straight up, then cleanly off to the right.
Aiming tips for those like me who get motion sickness working zoomed in (or also like me, too lazy to keep swiping the screen):
1st bird: Have Yellow Bird sit on the top of that palm tree in the background.
2nd bird: Line up with the base of the same palm tree. Minor adjustments may be required for both.
Thanks to @eweber, @dollarbill2208 and everyone else who contributed to this thread.
Wow.I thought I was one of the first to discover the bomb-to-1-o’clock strat.This level is somewhat reminiscent of the final Treasure Level of Siege Hero/Fortress Age.(I got over 80K on that one–ask those who play SH if that’s possible)One bomb dropped onto that bridge and the train bends upon itself,fishtails and destroys everything. Just leaving this here.
THANK YOU THANK YOU – cheeta took your way and did it on 3rd attempt – only 106180 but still 3 stars – cool!!
Congrats to @eweber / manu malin and all others who got past 120k. I think 135k or more is possible if you are very lucky, even my 116,970 is nothing impressive. I used @dollarbill2208‘s method, for the first bird, eliminate the bottom five pigs and then black bird as Bill stated in his comment.
It seems that this level has been changed in one of the past updates. After the one-o’clock shot the wheel wobbles a bit but nothing else happens.
Yep it doesn’t do it any more as far as I can tell. Shame because it was a fun level.
Glad I finally got to the bottom,i hit that darn wheel at 1:00 a hundred times and it doesn’t spaz any more.
I’ll have to.live with a low non spaz score I guess.
If you have trouble with yellow bouncing over pigs, just hit the slanted platform in front without activating and he bounces into pig 1 and slowly rolls down the hill, taking then all out
Only slightly different than video, finally broke average even though the wheel doesn’t whack out anymore it seems.
First bird through the wood planks holding the wheel
Hit the wheel mid air, went through the pig and blasted the other side,splitting it in two, right half took out some of crane thing
Took the safe third shot to the base of the upper tower, falling left and pulling the substructure with it, TNT blew some stone back right for a little more damage
92 raw with 10k bonus for 102+
My 10k improved the average, shot again to get 103+
More points are there, few pointers
First bird, throw so it only breaks two boards and follows the other down through the hole and they take out the two lowest pigs
Get the second ready, perfectly horizontal then up and sling-jag so he is ever so slightly downward. Try to get him to break the stone 180 degrees from where the wheel breaks on impact and fall onto big pig
Third I to base of upper tower and hope the TNT blows enough stuff around
124630 using @eweber strategy and an old version of angry birds. Method no longer works on newer versions.
