Ha! Angry Birds web version got hacked. Chrome levels are now easier to unlock

Chrome levels

Just a few hours Angry Birds web version went live and see what we have here, some codes to hack it. We are sure there are many impatient ones out there who want to skip all the basic levels (after all, they have played it thousands of times on their phone, pc …) and get to the exclusive part of the game – special Chrome levels.

Here is what Wes Bos has to say:

I was quickly able to find a hack that gave me access to all the levels, even the special Chrome levels! So to get access to all levels in Chrome Angry Birds, just copy and paste the following line into your browser’s address bar.

And the codes:

javascript: var i = 0; while (i<=69) { localStorage.setItem('level_star_'+i,'3'); i++; } window.location.reload();

To set all levels to locked, simply copy and paste this into your address bar:

javascript: var i = 0; while (i<=69) { localStorage.setItem('level_star_'+i,'-1'); i++; } window.location.reload();

How did he find that?

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.

    this is awesome…………… chrome nothing to do with this….. Rovio should’ve some how encrypted their local storage values…….

  2. JaganP

    Yup and so the hack will work on any browser.

    I don’t play this game but maybe he said “chrome levels” meaning Angry Birds has some levels called Chrome levels, not that Chrome is vulnerable to naughty line of javascript, zero day baby.

    Dont forget about:

    javascript: var i = 0; while (i<=69) { localStorage.setItem('level_score_'+i,'99999999'); i++; } window.location.reload();

    Maximum score for each level.

    Undo:

    javascript: var i = 0; while (i<=69) { localStorage.setItem('level_score_'+i,'0'); i++; } window.location.reload();

    @kein: Open the game on your browser. Clear your url bar and then paste the copied code and hit enter. Your game window/tab will be restarted, enjoy!

    If you didn’t get it yet, then sorry bro, i don’t know a better way to explain “how to copy & paste codes”.
