There are some levels I beat in a single session on the pot, and other levels that I will try for weeks. There's definitely an "every bird counts" thing that happens, and that first bird is usually the most important.

I'm on the third "page" on the first stage/area. It's gotten to the point where I am constantly reloading the level if my first bird doesn't do exactly what I want it to do. I'll also reload a level if I don't earn at least two stars. Jump ahead to 30 minutes later and I've only completed two levels and I'll call it quits.<br /><br />It's definitely a game that can go from really fun to frustrating/annoying/aggravating in the span of a single level.

That's definitely a feature I'm intimately familiar with, but I'm often too impatient to wait for it.<br /><br />Sometimes perfectionism is the only way to get 3 stars, and sometimes 3 stars is like a 1k point difference. <br /><br />And of course, sometimes I don't even know what I did or why it worked. <br /><br />Also- I agree with you about not 'completing' the game. Every time I beat a stage, two new expansions are added. And I really didn't care for the 'Bird-day party' expansion. I stopped playing that one after a couple levels, which is when I decided to start over and get 3 stars. <br /><br />The other thing is that the "Mine and Dine" Expansion uses the big-red bird in almost every level, which totally throws off my mojo for when it's time to use the regular birds again. :PDoctor Pottshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14902882623105289547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5984358480957165622.post-66157082511543493672012-10-08T00:59:04.285-07:002012-10-08T00:59:04.285-07:00One thing with this game that I can't stress e...One thing with this game that I can't stress enough is to wait for your launched bird to die/explode, and then wait a couple of more seconds to see if there's any lingering structural imbalance that will help.<br /><br />And I totally agree with the constant restarting. Sometimes it'll get to the point where I have to put the game down and walk away because I start turning into a perfectionist.<br /><br />And Angry Birds is also one of those games that I will play over and over, or at least the first cluster of levels and not really "complete" the game. But that's just me.Jaconianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17119915477920548608noreply@blogger.com
