Description
This ball and paddle game adds pinball-like bumpers and a prehistoric theme as well through more than a hundred levels. Hit the ball with the paddle upwards to eliminate all blocks on screen to move on to the next. Some blocks require multiple hits to be eliminated and letting the ball past your paddle near bottom of the screen results in a lost life. Diagonal rubber bands simply bounce the ball off them and numbered bumpers if hit so that they show the same number will trigger a bonus screen. You will have to shoot all blocks on screen to reveal a picture beneath them in a limited amount of time to gain a bonus score.
Certain blocks when eliminated will trigger lettered blocks to float down. If you touch them with your paddle, a bonus element will be triggered such as a larger ball, larger paddle, shooter paddle, level advance or bonus life. A caveman will jump along the tops of the blocks and toss down rubbish like blocks and balloons which will alter the ball's path when collided with, thereby making it more difficult to clear the level. If you manage to clear the block he's standing on, he will float downwards holding a balloon. Then if you knock the ball through him enough times he will disappear from the level...else if he reaches the bottom of screen, he will reappear at the top again.
