Previously, even when the Sun was replaced by an Angry Birds Star Wars logo, the Egg was obtainable. However, the Angry Birds Star Wars II logo does not seem compatible.}

Scores Adding 5

Entered on March 22, 2012 10:21 am
Set a personal highscore on a level (e.g., 70,000), then click the >> (next level) button. Exit that level and return to the previous level. Nearly half the time, the highscore listed will be 5 more than when it was just set. We can't tell if this can happen on every level, but it has happened on many of them. I had it happen on at least half of the Danger Zone levels, but it is certainly not exclusive to that episode. (Can also occur by restarting a level after attaining a high score.)

Achievements Earned Offline

Entered on March 24, 2012 4:00 am
In general, if a user obtains an achievement while not connected to GameCenter, it will not show in GC even after the user reconnects. Several users have reported this, and I can confirm it (when I transferred to my iPhone, no achievements registered; when this is done in the other apps, all achievements would register over the course of the next minute or so). My speculation is that the settings file only pushes to GameCenter once (when the achievement is satisfied) but does not run any further checks.

The Score Addict achievement for Pig Bang is incorrectly listed as 1,900,000. We have had reports of users obtaining the achievement as low as 1,831,000. Also, many users have reported that the achievement has registered once they pass 1,900,000 points in Danger Zone or Cold Cuts. Further still, some users have passed 1,900,000 in Pig Bang and NOT gotten the achievement. {Update in v1.1.0: Now correctly registers when surpassing 1.9M points in Pig Bang. However, there are still reports that it can register if the user surpassed 1.9M in another episode.} {Update in v1.2.2: The achievement threshold was changed to reflect the addition of bonus levels and everything should be OK now.}
