  • Angry Birds Friends 2015 Valentine’s Day Tournament Level 6 Week 143 Walkthrough I'm on board with others who think Rovio screwed the pooch with this one. With all the reaction and reflex games that exist to amuse preschoolers and the older ones who enjoy shooting fast-moving bouncy objects.Rovio, shape up!!!
  • Angry Birds Bugs & Glitches I have PC version of Rio High Dive. My system has 32GB RAM. I have experienced lockups in levels 9 and 19 in High Dive. Also, play often becomes sluggish in these levels as well as 7 and 8. I suspect a memory leak.I have been unable to 3 star level 19 because no matter how clean the shot and immediate the upward acceleration, yellow bird never gets higher than vase at top of right platform.
  • Angry Birds Short Fuse Level 27-7 Walkthrough As I said in last comment, I've abandoned the idea of trying to high score this level, but I noticed the huge range of possible scores for clearing all the pigs. I came up with another objective, trying to get the lowest score. My best (worst) was 81,200.Here's a few hints for anyone who wants to try for less points:1) It will have to be a one star score.2) It's hard to get below 100,000.3) You'll probably have to waste one or more birds.4) Any bonus points will doom the effort. What this means is the yellow bird will have to be your last shot, and it will have to destroy at least one pig.5) Try to break as few bottles as possible.How low can you go? Playing for lowest score assumes that scores are reported honestly. There's no way to prove them after the fact.
  • Angry Birds Birdday Party Cake 4 Level 8 Walkthrough There's an invisible line that separates amusement and torture. At best this level straddles the line, and in all likelihood is firmly rooted on the torture side.These comments concern the PC version. It's hard to tell what the unused bird bonus should be because it's computed before the 'dust' has settled. I've had two scores of 155K+ that left me doubting the bonus arithmetic. These were both two birders that left only a small piece of plank and the bottom layer of the TNT cakes. More than once I had what looked like perfect trajectories out of the sling with the yellow (2nd) bird, and clicking on the mouse either failed to accelerate the bird or paused the level. In the latter case, continuing the level guaranteed the bird would be wasted. Please don't suggest my system or its drivers are the problem. They aren't!
  • Angry Birds Short Fuse Level 27-7 Walkthrough This level was trivial to 3 star. I was so proud of myself, I was going to post my 189,620 score; then I read about the much higher ones. For some reason this brought out my competitive instinct - big mistake! Several hours and at least 150 tries later, I had accumulated over a dozen 190K scores and probably half a dozen over 200K. I think I've given myself a carpal tunnel injury, and my best was only 252,660. I wish I'd never read the comments!I could make a fairly long list of what has been proven not to work for this level. Maybe I will when it no longer hurts to type.
  • Angry Birds Star Wars 2 Battle of Naboo Level B3-18 Walkthrough I'm sure this level has been 3 starred by some people, but I'm not one of them. What stinks is following two very good video walkthroughs dozens upon dozens of times and seeing what look like perfect shots fall short of the mark. Obviously, two things are required, a dead-on shot and LUCK!IMHO, when one is at the mercy of a random number generator, the games become less fun to play. I first noticed this in Seasons (Trick or Treat 3-3). It must have taken two dozen seemingly identical shots before all the pumpkins were destroyed. I'm seeing more levels like this in the recent Rovio updates. In my view this crosses the line between challenge and aggravation
  • Angry Birds Star Wars 2 Escape to Tatooine Level P2-S4 Walkthrough I share the frustration of the others. I'm still working on 3 star score. After a fair number of 1 pig shots that cleared all the birds, I'm convinced that only a 1 pig shot will 3 star, and only if the top TNT falls to the right of magnet, explodes at near ground level, and the other TNT blows up too. I'm at about my 50th try, with at least 10 scores of 69,000+ using video and alternate method. Despite what logic might suggest, having a heavy magnet drop on right hand TNT will not detonate it.I placed an acetate overlay on my screen and marked best known trajectory and trigger point. After seeing a number of ostensibly identical shots produce wildly varying scores, I'm convinced that outcomes are up to a pseudorandom generator rather than skill. This would mean that a high percentage of attempts are preordained to fail - death by 100 cuts!
  • Angry Birds Rio Rocket Rumble Walkthrough Level #17 True that, Galgaron! It's bad enough that you have to do countless tries to have the plank fall right. (It must decapitate 1 of the 2 mushrooms in the opening.) What's even worse is that you can eventually nail it with first two birds and still fall short of 3 star score (mine 128,410). It's more obvious than ever that skill is losing importance to a pseudo-random number generator.
  • Angry Birds Rio Rocket Rumble Walkthrough Level #9 To grab a few extra points, fire first shot through blue lantern. Don't hit the tree! You'll be able to pick up monkey from top of middle tower just like in the video. Make second shot a little flatter than in video and accelerate through wood block on left of remaining tower.
  • Angry Birds Star Wars 2 Battle of Naboo Level P3-7 Walkthrough Some suggestions for this level piqued my curiosity, so instead of moving on with a 98K+ score, I decide to play test alternate approaches. Here's a tip of the hat to Haugen, who not only came up with something very different from video, but effective as well. I played Haugen's way five times. It took me three blown tries to get the range and angle right, but then I got 2 scores of 101k+.
