Search Results for 'slingshot'

That’s @dh-kim’s seedway kart. Kim did all the screenshots in the (soon!) upcoming guide because my device is horrible at taking screenshots and would often hang while doing so.

Lol! @ the finish game sans kart thing. I found that my friends commenting on the pigs rolling here and there after an “epig” first-corner crash after race start quite hilarious. You can dismount opponents by deliberately firing your slingshot into/over their line of departure. Sometimes you land hard enough that the opponent gets dismounted. This usually happens in the normal races with many many piglets. Champions are always a bit stronger and harder to ram out of line/disable.

I think I have all (or most, haven’t opened all the packages!) the Telepods by now but haven’t purchased the Jenga set. I would love to as a friend of mine wants the unlock code.

Also have you tried looking for the shortcuts in Seedway?

Seedway 1 – you can ‘commit suicide’ by driving off the side of the broken bridge in a normal race (or champion chase, if it has no course limitation and allows you to take the ‘uphill’ course on the right). You end up in a canyon directly facing the finish line. Roll to victory in literally a few seconds with no corners.

Seedway 2 – You can drive on the two large patches of grass on the left side of the track. Easy way to overtake Bomb Bird by cutting corners using the flat green grass, who is pretty vicious if he’s close by.

Finally, here’s a delicious diorama featuring Stella and Matilda racing for a huge 500CC cake!

(Seriously, I ate the whole cake. 500CC Cake capacity required!)

I recall following the pre-release artwork for Bad Piggies via the Angry Birds Facebook page – I think at that point of time everyone would be wondering what was this strange game because back then the only hint to gameplay was the quite cryptic trailer showing pigs flying. Then there was the gameplay trailer itself which showed, well, pigs flying all over the place which piqued by curiosity.

“Is it like a 2D version of Kerbal Space Program?”
“Can engines be throttled, vehicles steered or is it just on/off driving like slot cars?”

I actually did get the chance to ask Rovio employees about Bad Piggies in person thanks to the Angry Birds: Heikki event at Fairmont Hotel, Singapore during the F1 race last year.

I ‘escaped’ from my office during lunch and after work to check out the event and my, I had fun with the AB:H Singapore level which was quite incredibly challenging. I didn’t and still don’t care to ‘cheat’ and watch 3-star walkthroughs on YouTube, so I ended up teaching newer players (in real life, mind you) how to solve problems using engineering derived solutions.

Unfortunately I must have sounded like a terrorist because I was teaching people how to undermine structures which looked like actual Singapore buildings. Collapse those boring flats! Build pig structures in their place! :)

It was later during the evening session that a gentleman from the event team talked to me quite extensively about my Angry Birds interest and eventually I did pluck up the courage to ask about the new pig game. I did ask the questions I want to ask but I was requested to ‘wait and see’ on the gameplay mechanics. No spoilers!

I then commented:

“The Bad Piggies media to date is awesome” and he replied, “Yes, it is :)” Finally I asked if Rovio would allow me to make a fanpage for the pigs and I guess we know the rest of the story from there :)

It was later during local news coverage of the event that I realized the gentleman I spoke to was Rovio’s Vice President!

And that’s the story of how Bad Piggies became a quite important routine in my life for the past year. It’s all the fun little details and friendly enthusiasm for all things pig and mechanical that makes Bad Piggies more than just a game.

Eventually Bad Piggies did replace Kerbal Space Program as my sandbox “space simulator”. Incredibly. Despite the lack of actual space content. Just photoshop a space background. Pigs can fly very well, so well, they should go to space, out of the reach of Angry Bird slingshots. Lol.

Thanks :)
Do you think the Wood, Stone & Glass ones are as good as the Golden? or do you think the Golden is better than all?
I can’t decide wether to get the Golden or not? I have all three of the others!

[TheAlarm]

I do like them, they work really well. And yes the Golden One is a great one. 5$ kind of high for it though.

12.9 iPad! Wow, that’s really big for me. Even though my family had a 10.1 inch tablet and it was kinda messy to bring. I mostly play with my left thumb, so it was kinda hard to reach the slingshot on that tablet. Well, tablets and phones are getting bigger, maybe in the future devices will really big.

Please post any self-destroying (total or partial destruction with no birds shot) or unstable levels (become unstable after a bird shot) that are not on this list.
Details requested:
Game, level, whole or partial destruction, range of scores, frequency, wait time.
Description of shots required to cause instability also needed.

Please note that many of the top scores on the leaderboards were obtained using self-destruction or instabilities, and it is totally acceptable to take advantage of these. In fact, on some levels, it is impossible to get a top score without using self-destruction or instability.

As Rovio releases new updates, and as operating systems are upgraded, the results for self destruction are changing. Some levels no longer appear to have the self-destruction described below, even without any obvious change (like a block preventing a pig from rolling off).

Intentionally or unintentionally on the part of Rovio, the dependence of self-destruction on restart number (demonstrated on 1/14/13) has changed, possibly more than once if you are using the latest game versions. On 1/4/13 some interesting, repeatable behavior related to scores and number of resets after logging out of game were reported by an un-named member, click here . The score for self-destruction appeared to be a function of the number of level resets made after exiting the game. I verified similar behavior on iPad.

Although this complete dependence of self-destruction results on restarts no longer occurred when last checked, some dependence on restart has been observed (12/13) on ABO Short Fuse (26-6 and 26-12).

Please note that all golden eggs (GE’s) are at end of listing for game. Please let me know if you find any out-of-order.

I’ve moved the complete list to Google Docs.
As of 02/07/16, I think the clickable table of contents is working again.
Complete list on Google Docs (updated 2/6/16)
Directions for using clickable table of contents:
Click on the title you want to skip to. You should get a drop-down menu with a single header name. Click on the header name in the drop-down menu, and it should take you to the section you want.
 
These are some of my favorite self-destroying and unstable levels. Not sure if all/any still work, but you might enjoy reading comments on the walkthroughs.

Favorite Self-Destroying Levels

Angry Birds Seasons
• ABS Piglantis 2-2: Partial, 15 – 17K; Occasionally the pigs on the raft on the far right will explode or break loose: mini explosion also possible spontaneously or when flinging a bird up by the raft; may leave a pig under the slingshot. The raft seems to fall on its own fairly often and will happen within 10s or so; something seems to happen ~1/10. Not clear if this still happens.

Angry Birds Space
• ABSp DZ-4: Total self-destruction was possible before ABSp v 1.5.0; may no longer be possible, but can still be used to get above average; see discussion details and previous page. In older versions total destruction was possible after hours (all night?), see discussion in walkthrough, usually required many overnight runs to get total destruction

Favorite Unstable Levels

Angry Birds (original)
• ABO GE 23: Hit clock correctly and it will cause massive destruction, up to 120K?, you may need to wait a while (1min?) for this to happen; also left pig under tree is above ground and falls, giving 40 pts

Angry Birds Seasons
• ABS ACB 2-9; if first YB hits TNT in blue circle just right, wheel starts spinning rapidly and destroys everything for 130 to 140K
• ABS GE 12: “You Tube”: Hit glass around “Tube” correctly and it will start oscillating destroying most of level, ~100K???, glass starts oscillating right away. See comments by HallieGinSB on Jan 16, 2012 at 8:31 pm about 2/3 the way down.
• ABS GE 20: (big basket), Hit pile of fruit in right spot with 1st 2 birds and you get the spinning flower / fruit, which can cause complete destruction, 75 to 100+K, short wait (~sec) for flower / fruit to detach from rest

Angry Birds Space
• ABSp S-15; As of ver. 2.0.0, it is still possible to get the glitch, but much, much harder, and it wasn’t easy to begin with; see comments on walkthrough; glitch can lead to very high scores >>200K, after 1st shot, if raft attached to boat on upper right lands softly on upper planet, it can stay there for hours accumulating points; may or may not need to send 2nd bird to pop pig

Angry Birds Star Wars
• ABSW Moon of Endor: Several levels are unstable, resulting in high scores. Mechanism is usually interaction of laser shots from AT-ST with wood log. Read all posts on walkthroughs for details. Levels are classified as unstable if there is a glitch that gives a score noticeably higher than those without. 
Unstable levels:
5-5: >140K; 
5-20: ~1M; AT-ST destroyed, log lands on leg
5-23: high 80′s

Hi, what does everyone think about the new slingshots?
Do any of the individual ones actually do anything more?
– & is it worth paying for the Golden slingshot?
Thanks in advance for your help!
