Burds – Tips and Cheats: The Strategy Guide

Burds is a new matching game for the iPhone and iPad. Your goal is simply to match two or more burds as quickly as you can, and keep the game going for as long as you can. Various power ups are there to help you along the way, such as freezes, bombs and wilds. Read on for some tips and tricks for Burds!

-Try to match squares as often as possible, because the squares will take off every piece of that color on the whole board. That includes coins, as well.
-Bombs do the same thing. When a bomb is next to more than one bird at a time, pick the bird that’s on the board the most, and blow it away to knock out all of the identical birds.

-Knock out enough birds and you will fill up the time extension bar at the top of the screen. This fills the time completely, all the way up to thirty seconds.
-Collect coins, and you will increase the timer as well.

-Coins can be used to buy power ups. Save your coins until you are on a high score run and you really need a boost, such as stopping the clock (which is what freezing does).
-Use the zap power up when you have one single bird blocking you from being able to make a square. Zap that bird and make the square.

-You only get a limited amount of lives, and once you run out of lives, you have to wait for them to come back or spend coins on more lives.
-If you want more lives right away, though, set the time on your phone or iPad ahead by 20 minutes times however many hearts you need to get back. Restoring all ten hearts will require you to set the time ahead by 3 hours and 20 minutes.

-In the absence of any squares or other cool bonuses, simply use two fingers to start trying to knock out birds as quickly as possible. Knock em out at double speed using two fingers and you will often surprise yourself at how well you’ll do.
