Web Talk

In my previous post I spoke about the new Angry Birds game Chrome extension version which is available for free for everybody to download.  Less than 24h later somebody on the Internet hacked it! In fact, I have just found an interesting hack which will let you unlock all the game levels in just one click! As you know, in order to unlock new Angry Birds levels you have to complete previous levels by killing all the cute pigs. However, if you are kind of impatient and wish to see what the last level is like, for example, the following piece of code will let you play all levels without restrictions.

The hack was discovered on wesbos.com/all-levels-html5-angry-birds/ and it is quite easy to perform on your Google Chrome browser. Here is how the guy at wesbos.com managed to create and find the hack:

“In the talk Rovio did at Google IO, they mentioned they were using HTML5′s LocalStorage. If you open up Web Inspector in chrome, you’ll see they are keeping track of your score and stars with localstorage. Lucky for us, that means we can use setItem() set all 70 levels to 3 and get access to them all.”

What follows is the easy procedure to hack Angry Birds for Chrome and unlock all its levels:

1. Open Google Chrome.
2. Copy and paste the following  code to the address bar: javascript: var i = 0; while (i<=69) { localStorage.setItem('level_star_'+i,'3'); i++;
3. Hit Enter.
4. To lock the levels back, copy and paste this code to the address bar and hit enter: javascript: var i = 1; while (i<=69) { localStorage.setItem('level_star_'+i,'-1'); i++;
