122,950 on 3-8. #9253 out of 3,376,890 players on iPhone GameCenter. I keep replaying the levels in an attempt to get into the top 25. I have NO idea, however, how the folks in the very top positions could possibly have gotten so many total points. Wish they'd post their screen by screens.

Episode 1: 4,391,650
Episode 2: 3,600,680
Episode 3: 5,009,520
Episode 4: 4,000,270

Total: 17,002,120

Finally!

I'll probably try and beat Loki79bj's last known episode 1 total. Then the episode 2 total from the guy on the first post. The next update will probably come before I reach those goals though, so we'll see.

Congrats on the 17M Giggs!

As a note to iOS users, The Christman Edition of angry birds will be a free upgrade to the Halloween Episode. Yayyyyy! Not that I'd complain about spending another buck on angry birds but a nice gift from Rovio regardless. Also the rumor is that the xmas edition will come out on android as well. Not sure about Maemo though.

Hey Digg, welcome to the forum! And nice score you've got on 6-15. I'd definitely be interested in seeing a video of the technique if you found the time!

Well he described it pretty well.
I've barely had the time to try it, but it seems you need a very accurate throw plus a little luck to be able to finish it in 2 birds...
The throw that worked for me was one where the black bird goes between the blue balloon and the pig, touching neither, then breaks the vertical wood plank to roll towards the center of the left structure, and explode there. I haven't had other kinds of throw that worked, so yeah... Excruciating accuracy or very much luck

Unfortunately, I missed one of the last 3 pigs. Better luck next time I guess

By the way, I feel I probably have enough experience in this game to make a sort of high score guide. I'm not sure I'll have the time to do it, but would anyone be interested?

I would be. I'm still improving, but on many levels i'm stuck and still a couple of K below the highscores.

Hello all. I invaded your spreadsheet today to see how much upside potential I had on all levels. I had a handful of records, but clearly have a lot of room for improvement on many levels.

Thanks for putting this together. I've actually thought of putting together a high score web site (for free if I can find a cheap host) since there seems to be enough Angry Birds geeks out there. It would be along the lines of scorehero.com, a Guitar Hero score posting site.

Looking forward to reading more tips and posting anything I think would be helpful.

Congrats on breaking 17 mil giggs. And you're right about the 6-15 strategy needing a bit of luck. But the black bird must hit the blue balloon. This is cruicial so the pig falls and hits the balloon carrying the pig below it.

Also, I believe I just broke the record for 8-6 as well. I'm still going through and getting 3 stars in all the levels but every now and then I get a very high score on a level so I come here to compare. On 8-6, I think only 100,000 is need for 3 stars. The spreadsheet shows 124,xxx with 2 birds and I just managed 129,720 with only 1 bird! BUT, yes there's a but, it requires restarting the level several times. I noticed that one out of every 10 or so, half the tower will fall killing 2-3 pigs and netting 20-40k+. In the record shot, I had 42k points before I fired a bird. I'm curious as to what the community's take on strategies like this is since I'm still playing within this programmed confines of the game.

Well, if you look at the spreadsheet, you'll see that the record for 3-5 is a 0 bird completion. So we do accept those strategies. It's part of the game.

Thanks for sharing your finding on 8-6, I'll give it a go. Keep up the good work!

Edit: I'm pretty sure a 0 bird completion is possible on 8-6, but I doubt it would beat an optimized 1 bird score. I just completely missed a 128K score. There was only 1 pig left before I threw the first bird, but the throw was ruined by a text I received... Got 118K with 2 birds. Ah well. Thanks again for the strat man, we need new discoveries like this!
