Yes, the pigs do make disgusting noises when you tap on them. This also works for the pigs in the “path” screens, except for the ones that are sleeping or playing.

Posting huge scores means that when your recording gets used in a future game, your opponent will be incentivized to beat that score, creating an overall feedback loop that raises scores over time.

All things being equal, the higher the scores get, the less likely they are to be beaten. Scores will eventually level off because you can only do so much damage with any set of birds.

(I added “All things being equal” there, because if you upgrade your slingshot or level up your birds, you will do better, and this could raise scores. However, larger numbers probably wouldn’t be chosen by the matching algorithm, if you don’t increase these numbers.)

I get a moment of satisfaction if I can use the Hot Chili to get rid of one final pig (especially if it’s a micropig buried underneath a pile of concrete).

[Carl Heckman]

I’ve been wondering that as well.

You need to distinguish between “random” and “fair”. “Random” just means “not predictable.” “Fair” means “all outcomes are equally likely.” So a loaded die is random but not fair.

@stevey That was in the daily challenge a few days ago. I managed to clear it after a few tries; the “kill shot” was launching Silver and making her dive between the two left balloons in the top layer. (I guess I was lucky, because she didn’t touch any of those **** beach balls, and I had already weakened the structure under the King Pig.

(The only time I like beach balls is when I have blues. When they split up and bounce around, they can cover LOTS of ground. But then again, I like pinball, so …)

I think my worst luck in AB2 was in a huge level where a micropig was trapped under a couple of layers of concrete rubble, and I didn’t have any birds that could reach that far, let alone do any damage. (Those **** bluebirds …)

What happens more often is that I’ll need to “burn” a card or two, because I have a few pigs left, but none of the birds showing on the cards are powerful enough to pop the pigs.

Occasionally, I hear something like “gug-gug”. I figured out that this is (probably) the pigs making fun of chickens’ “cluck-cluck” noise. I guess you’d call this “amusing”.

I also like how they watch the birds and debris moving around. (Occasionally, they quake, and of course, they stop laughing there.) This is especially noticeable in the “slime” rooms that have almost a complete circle around a platform; their eyeballs go round and round and round ….

@rizdub I’ll have to try that.
