What is your playing strategy when playing Angry Birds? Try to get 3 stars on each level? Go through each level as quickly as you can even if you only get one star? I usually go through each level as quickly as possible. However, there are some levels I’ll repeat and try to get 3 stars. If I find myself stuck on a level for a long time, I’ll often go back to earlier levels that I didn’t get 3 stars on. ---

The original game, I went through all the levels and then went back and got three stars on each level. Now I’m working through “Seasons” but I don’t move on to the next level until I have achieved three stars on the previous one first. Sometimes it takes a long time. ---

Eh, I just play through them. Life’s too short to try to get three stars on 3-kajillion levels. ---

My strategy. Try to kill the pigs. Stars? I guess I was too concerned about those damned pigs to notice stars. ---

I’m obsessive. I won’t try the next level until I’ve gotten 3 stars. I can be a bit frustrating at time. For this reason I’ve never moved past the original game. ---

Once a level is won, it’s won. I don’t bother with trying to get three stars (except in rare cases where I feel I could have done a lot more damage than I did.) ---

I aim for three stars but do not obsess over my score unless I only got one star, then I try to get at least two. ---

Original game - just played through. Now I’m on Seasons, I’ll play through a level once quickly. Then go back and try to get 3 Stars on any scenario I didn’t get 3 on. ---

1. fling 'em till all pigs are dead. 2. continue on to next level. 3. go back if I feel like it. ---

I play though all the levels and then go back and try to get at least two stars. I can live with 2 stars. ---

I’m obsessed with getting 3 stars. I don’t always do it on the first run through, though. ---

I beat all the levels first, then I go back I get three stars. Beating a new batch of levels usually takes one playing session. Getting three stars can take weeks. ---

Don’t give a damn about the stars as long as the pigs are dead. And I demand bacon as a reward. ---

Is there a way to prevent the game from resetting itself if I get a call or text message on the iPhone? I’m getting a lot of sales calls and they’ve interrupted several games of Angry Birds when I’m \*this \*close to winning the level and then the game play restarts with a fresh set of birds after declining a phone call.
