Short Fuse is the tenth episode of Angry Birds and adds the 26th, 27th, and 28th themes. In this chapter, the Black Bird gains a new power called "Shockwave", and is able to zap pigs and push other blocks and objects.
In this episode, the pigs have stolen the eggs again and have escaped to a laboratory. Nearby,Bomb, standing in a puddle of a purple potion, gains the new shockwave power.
Gameplay
On the first level, the player is given Bomb with electrical shock wave powers. When activated, Bomb electrocutes all pigs in his blast radius, and strongly repulses outer objects. After the first few levels, Shockwave is unlocked as a powerup, which then can be used in other levels.
Potions
Short Fuse has a new gimmick: Potions. When a pig is hit by a potion, it can have special effects, and can be useful in clearing a level faster.
- Orange Potion : When this potion falls onto a pig, it will inflate into a very large pig, then deflates like Bubbles.
- Blue Potion : When this potion falls onto a pig, the pig will spin at first and split into 3 smaller ones, like The Blues.
- Pink Potion : When this potion falls onto a pig, the pig will mutate into a pig-shaped bubble, causing him to lift all nearby objects and even pigs, then it pops. The potion is similar to the power of Stella.
