Whoops, I should have clarified that I bought the Mighty Eagle in a few of the old games, not because I needed the help beating levels, but basically because it added an entirely different challenge to all of the existing levels. I’m generally OK with paying once for something I can use infinitely, which is why I liked the old “buy the game once and play it as much as you like” business model way more than the new “get the game allegedly for free and the be constantly pestered to buy stuff” model.
I too would pay for an ad-free AB2. I’ve noticed that the ads have worked their way into AB Seasons now, which is disappointing. At least I no longer have to worry about app crashes. But now there’s a new wrinkle, because I’m new to the iPhone and I have to remember to tell these apps to not use cellular data when I’m not on wifi. It would really irritate me to go over my data limit because of all the stupid ads these games had to download.
I thought Bad Piggies was absolutely brilliant when I first got it. The puzzles took a lot more ingenuity to solve than in any of the AB games, because you had to build rather than destroy. But the most recent level sets that take place in the dark, I’ll be honest, I haven’t enjoyed those at all. And I never bothered with the speed runs because my reflexes just aren’t quick enough for that sort of thing.
I never replayed levels in the old AB. Just once to 3-star (and only on rare occasions would I skip one and come back to it if I’d only 2-starred it), and once again to get 100% Eagle.
In AB2, when replaying through the game, if I fail a level twice in a row, especially if it’s one of those where I can tell it’s almost always going to be stacked against me, I usually just skip it and move on. Usually that’s just a handful of the six-room levels and a few of the more annoying bosses where the only viable strategy is “just hope you can hit him hard enough to keep him from bouncing right back into the same debris pile”. With that said, there have been a few that were a huge pain the first time around, and yet upon going back to them, they typically haven’t been too much trouble.
I could probably come up with some good candidates for your difficult 6-room level in the 200s, if only I could open the app at all right now. My hunch is it involves one of the following early in the level, when you just have to hope you start out with the right birds:
* The Bamboo Forest room where you have to fire up and over a tree to hit a low structure on the other side, and there’s almost always a floating obstacle in the way requiring you to waste a bird.
* The Cobalt Plateau room where you need two flowers to spit your birds up to the top two structures, the bottom structure blocks the first flower, and there’s almost always a pig at the very bottom of that structure, where he’s hard to hit even with Silver.
* One of the many Pigsyland rooms where there’s a structure high up on the right side of the screen that is nearly impossible to hit with any bird other than Chuck or Matilda. (These always do me in whenever they show up in the Arena.)
