3) Adventure Mode or Time Mode: 

Each of these modes includes 6 single-player games. In Time Mode, players can only access tables that have already been unlocked in Adventure Mode. In Time Mode, the goal is to collect a set number of points in the shortest possible time. Players with the best time are recorded into the Hall of Fame for that particular table. The Hall of Fame for tables appears at a game’s end. Press “ENTER” key to exit it.

*Streets of New York: unlocked from start
*Factory: unlocked after 20,000 points earned in previous game
*Island: unlocked after 10,000 points earned in previous game

*Collect 20,000 points in Island in the Night to complete Adventure Mode.


4) Playing the Game:

All games except for “Island” and “Island in the Night” are “traditional tables”. 

a. Traditional Tables:

*Players collect points for touching bumpers and passing through the tunnels.
*When player passes a lamp, it turns on or off. 
*If player touches a bumper of the same colour as a lit lamp, the score increases.
*If player touches a bumper and a few lamps of the same colour are lit, the points player receives are multiplied by the number of the lit lamps.
*Player can tilt the table using X, N or SPACE keys
*Some bumpers react to the movement of flippers, i.e. when player moves flippers, some bumpers rise above the table and some sink into the table.

b. Non-Traditional Tables:

*Player gets points for touching palm trees, drums, bumpers, destroying bugs, and getting into tunnels and barrels.
*Bugs have to be hit twice. When player hits the bug for the first time, it turns over. If during the next 2 seconds player doesn't hit the bug again, it turns back onto its legs and continues crawling.
*When player gets into the magic tunnels, a video is shown.
*Bumpers do not react to the flippers' movement.


5) Multiplayer: 

Both are unlocked from start. Choose Between Jungle Harmony and Pinball Ruins. Then choose either Duel or Cooperative modes. In Duel, players contend to earn the most points. A point is scored each time the ball goes through the opponent’s flippers – when this happens 10 times for either player, that player loses. In Cooperative mode, players work together to score points.
