Some might think they are like the “Golden Eggs” in Angry Birds, but this is a little inaccurate, since they don’t individually unlock new levels. Obtaining skulls does not help you pass the level, but rather unlock bonus content. Skulls: There are 10 skulls hidden in each episode, for a total of 20.These levels are played a bit differently, and will be explained in the gameplay section. We are not yet 100% clear as to when each Sandbox level is unlocked, but some are unlocked when you earn a certain number of stars, while other require you to find hidden skulls. This episode currently contains five levels. Sandbox Episode: The “third” episode, which is considered non-sequential, is a bit different.Starring these levels works the same as the normal levels. The threshold for unlocking these levels increases with the numerical value. For example, Level 1-I corresponds to Levels 1-1 thru 1-4, Level 1-II to 1-5 thru 1-8, etc. They are unlocked by obtaining a certain number of stars in the respective row. These levels are numbered via “Roman numerals” (I, II, III, …). 18 “Bonus” Levels: GHD and WPF each contain 9 “Bonus” levels, one corresponding to each row of levels.The other two stars are obtained by completing certain objectives, which can vary. The first star is always tied to getting your freckled pig across the checkered finish line. The ultimate goal is to complete each level with 3 stars. These levels are numbered via “Arabic numerals” (1, 2, 3, …). 72 Levels in the “Traditional” Episodes: Ground Hog Day and When Pigs Fly each contain 36 normal levels, listed in 9 rows of 4 (we mention the rows because they are tied to unlocking the bonus levels).You can actually start on either one of these episodes, though Ground Hog Day is the logical beginning as it incrementally introduces you to new items. Two Traditional Episodes: Ground Hog Day (GHD) and When Pigs Fly (WPF).Your purchase includes 95 unique levels broken out over two full episodes and one playground-esque episode, fittingly named, “Sandbox”.
