Gravity Grove level 506: What a disastrous puzzle to throw at people when they’re still getting the hang of the utterly baffling “localized gravity” of these levels. Just getting through the previous screens in this level was a gauntlet. First time I finally made it here, I had no idea what to do, all I had left was Red, and I fired him in what looked like the right general direction, got lucky, and managed to make the boss roll to the left, fall up into the gravity well and then roll off into the pit on the bottom left of the screen. I just stared in total disbelief, not understanding how I had actually managed to win this one. I’ve gone back through a few times, trying to beat this boss the “right” way by knocking him over to the right where it looks like he’s meant to meet his demise, but he always gets stuck somewhere and I never have enough birds to do it. The only times I’ve ever actually beaten this boss were an accidental repeat of my initial feat that caused him to tumble off to the left. I’m so confused!
Gravity Grove level 513: Oh goody, another infinite loop in which the boss doesn’t collide with anything solid and you have to hit a moving target. Now with altered gravity! No thank you. Firing Terence into the lower portal seems to be your best bet, as he “orbits” differently and will hit the trunk and bounce back before sliding into the portal, letting the boss “catch up” from behind him and take nominal damage as he collides with Terence, but even then you only get a few hits before Terence vanishes, and you have to hope that’s enough to knock the boss permanently off course.
Gravity Grove level 520: Another round of pure hellish nonsense where you’re punished for not having the right birds leftover by the time you reach the final screen. You need someone who can aim straight down, and even Matilda doesn’t really help you because she can break the platform right below the boss but she can’t do anything about the bridge awaiting him below the first portal. Silver or maybe Terence are your best bet here, and with Terence it’s extremely difficult to aim exactly right so that you bounce off of the floating structure above and fall down toward the boss, without being sucked into its reverse gravity. Even when you get the first few shots right and the boss ends up in the “box” on the upper right, there’s so little at your disposal in terms of rocks and other stuff to hurt the boss with, and even that only works well if you don’t end up with something wedged between the boss and the wall (otherwise stuff flies right over the boss’s head and is completely useless). Just about everything else on the screen looks to be a total red herring, only present to disrupt your ability to guide other birds where they need to go to get the boss out of a tight spot. Put this one on my all-time Top 5 Worst Bosses list.
Gravity Grove level 526: Yet another case where the apparent solution is straightforward, but the execution of it gets hung up on minute details of the level design that don’t seem to have been intentional. Much like 506, I’ve never defeated this boss in what appears to be the expected manner. I’ve either gotten lucky and had Terence bounce back after knocking him off his balloon, and it was a hard enough hit to send him off to the left where the slingshot is and off the screen, or else I’ve gotten him stuck right below the top portal and he’s released the two boulders that keep rolling to the left and getting stuck in a mini-loop due to the gravity well pulling them upward to graze the boss who is now stuck in a corner, rolling back down into normal gravity again, and repeating the process. Any slight variation on this scenario will get the boss stuck without anything to repeatedly hurt him, and then getting him out is a huge pain.
533 and 540 aren’t so bad. Once again, the last few bosses of a level set turn out to be way easier to defeat than the first several. The sorting order of difficulty in this game is just all out of whack. If any of the above bosses had been level 540, I’d still hate it, but I’d at least understand that this one was supposed to be a real pain.
