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.
