I had a really weird glitch occur today at the worst possible time. I was down to one bird with two pigs left on the final screen of a 5 or 6-stage level. That bird was the bomb. I detonated it within range of the two pigs, saw both of them pop, and a split second later the game pulled up the “No More Cards” screen. Never mind that there was still debris falling that could have potentially earned me enough points to get another card. I finished the freakin’ level and didn’t get credit for it!

In general I’ve noticed that the game has a weird sense of timing when trying to detect whether everything has finished falling/breaking after you’ve either destroyed all the pigs or run out of birds. I feel like it should wait until all motion has stopped, period. Only exception should be if it’s perpetual motion like in that one boss level where the boss can keep flying through the portals and never hit anything, Pigsyland where the magician pig sometimes bounces straight up and down on a trampoline, or the Snotting Hill levels where a pig could get caught in the slime loop and never pop. Other than that, let me get all my points before you tell me I’ve lost.

The “check your internet connection” bug has been annoying me too. As others have noted, it sometimes happens when my wifi signal is otherwise fine. If this indicates a problem on the other end with the Rovio server that is supposed to provide me with information, at least tell me that’s where the problem is instead of making me think it’s my problem. I’ve noticed that sometimes the menu screen can take forever to load up after finishing a level, and this is often because it’s trying to download that “special deal” for 340 gems that I get offered like 5 times a day. (On a related note, sometimes I’ll get to the menu screen and the icons and other options don’t show up because this notice fails to download, so I’m stuck on that screen and can’t select any levels. It’s really maddening when an offer I don’t care about anyway prevents me from playing the actual game.)

Finally – and I’m not sure if this is even is a bug – I’ve noticed that sometimes in the random generation of levels, a piece will be missing from a structure and it will topple before I’ve even done anything. I’m not necessarily complaining about this. It’s like getting a free bird. But it is a bit odd that in some of those rare cases, I can clear an entire room without firing a bird, and I don’t get the “Strike” bonus when this happens – so it can be annoying during an attempt to three-star a level.
