Spark Run!

I don’t know about coins, but the pigs show up in your count on the next level you play, which is weird.

@poptimus

That is weird.  I’ll have to write myself a note to remember to check on pigs and coins one of these days.

Given how long the Spark Run is, it would really suck if we didn’t earn any pigs and coins from it.

[MillForce2k]

I just did a spark run followed by a regular map run and noted the pigs and coins. I received no pigs or coins for the spark run.

I did find out something interesting though. I’ve tracked coins and the bonus video give a bonus of double your score on top of the coin score, essentially tripling your coin score. for pigs, however, the bonus video just doubles your pigs.

[Optimus_Pig]

Thanks for checking that out.

What a rip-off.

Flying pigs in the Meadow have killed my last 3 bots for three days in a row now. Rovio must have done something in one if the last soft updates to make the Spark Run harder. JARFY!

[JestaCat]

It just doesn’t make any logical sense that the standard flying pigs are harder to kill than the ones with extra health etc. It HAS to be a bug.

[Harpo_Bird]

I can corroborate that the pigs are added to the next level. I’ve made a habit of always getting the bonus for that run – it’s usually 150-300 pigs for a normal level without the ad bonus. Normal coins as far as I can tell, though – I’ve assumed that the sparks entirely replace the coins.

Hope you saw my pictures

Sad thing is, the flying pigs still aren’t the biggest threat, in my opinion. The stupid balloon pigs are. I am so used to ignoring them in regular runs, and, jf I am not paying attention, they really try hard to sneak down on you. At the high levels, one balloon pig and kill any bot if they get a solid hit on them. Plus, there is a line of other pigs coming down, ready to take out your next bots

[Joel]

@quickgaming -I saw those. Crazy number of flying pigs for level 7

I do find it strange that the health bonus pigs are easier to kill than the regular pigs

[ramonpontes]

@jestacat
I agree, the special pigs are weaker than the regular one, and this must be a bug. But to fix it, Rovio will not weaken the regular pigs, it is more likely that they will strengthen the special ones.

@joel687
I would agree with you about the balloon pigs some time ago. But now it is very noticeable that the flying pigs are the most dangerous group of enemies in the spark runs. If you are aware, you will surely avoid the balloon pigs, but there is no way to avoid flying pigs. You have to kill them, and there is just a few bots that are able to do that.

[Joel]

It takes some luck, but I am enjoying using falling monoliths to take out the flying pig swarms

[Quickgamer]

Flying pigs kill me again.

[GrimLockdown]

I passed level 159 today. No big flying pig flocks but Dead End was killed in heavy crossfire.

[Optimus_Pig]

The flying pigs swarms in the Spark Run are insanely up-powered compared to the pigs swarms in non-Spark Runs.

This became quite apparent when I was running Chromia in a normal map run (Beach node) and she got swarmed by a dozen flying pigs right at the end, they all kamikazeed, but she still managed to complete the run with three hearts of health.

If it were a Spark Run, she would have been totally shredded from maybe 3 or 4 hits, tops.

[Quickgamer]

Once Galvatron at the end of a picture city run only just survived after almost 20 flying pigs ‘kamikazing’ at me.

[Quickgamer]

In sparkrun level 7 I won two beach phases due to no flying pigs And I just only failed at the end due to flying pigs. I didn’t see the flying pigs as the balls of the mortar towers dressed the screen in smoke. 

[Daniel Cho]

@quickgaming So Close! Well can Galvatron one shot armor pigs when leveled up? I have him at level 8 and he STILL can’t one shot armor pigs. Considering he overheats after 3 shots he can only kill 1 armored pig and a half during that time. EGalvo can one shot armor pigs. How about regular galvo? (At level 15)

[Quickgamer]

@daniel-cho

If that is your problem then use Galvatron when he is boosted. When he is boosted he shoots 4 beams which is actually good. The higher levels in the sparkrun increase pigs health. The

This question is completely unrelated but it’s doing my nut in.. I’m stuck at level 185 and there’s no other levels to unlock as such? Can someone advise because I’ve tried everything lol. Tah in advance

[Laogalaxy]

Do you mean opening more of the map? Pig city at the top right is the last area that can be opened. I think it’s been this way for 2 years. It doesn’t look like Rovio will open any more parts of the map.

[Daniel Cho]

@quickgaming Thanks.

 

@optimuspig @datguygamer @geli Can regular galvo kill armor pigs in one shot in regular nodes? (When leveled up)

[datguygamer]

@daniel-cho Yes.

[Optimus_Pig]

I think it requires two shots.

[Daniel Cho]

Oh, well I’m getting mixed results. If galvo really needs to two shot armor pigs even when level 15 I’m going to cry. I mean it literally has 3 shots and two of them goes to one pig. Sad bot.
