Gameplay information
The board consists of a number of circular bumpers, including normal and star bumpers, and some fruits. Your character appears in the middle. To clear the level, you must bounce your character around to pick up all the fruits. Press the mouse button over the character and drag in the desired direction, then release to launch. The character bounces off the bumpers and the edge of the level. Any star bumpers disappear after being hit. A bonus is awarded for clearing all star bumpers.
The game is lost if you fail to clear a level within 3 shots.
This game has unlockable characters. The number of games played determines which characters you can use.
Tips

I find the harder/faster the ball(kitty/rabbit/person/whatever)is used, the better chances of clearing a level are-which is a HUGE bonus.
Sometimes you need to hit the big orange bumper to achieve this effect.
Let the ball play itself out...it may hit a bumper for only 10 points, but it all adds up. I used to end it when I thought it was over, to get it over quickly. One night I wanted to see what happened if I let it just go to each level naturally and ended up with a MUCH higher score. So , that's what I am doing now, because repeated tries f this gained me higher and higher scores.
Some levels are easier than others to play. Meaning..before you play, hit the "My Stuff" tab. this will give you a different layout. The layout is alway the same level wise....but if you keep hitting the tab, it will change the layout...and hitting it 6 times will always give you the same 6th layout..
I have gone to 10 level and I have no idea how many different layouts there are, but it seems to me, that some are easier than others...so find your level and always stick to it-thereby, gaining a familiarity and better scores. For me, the fourth is easiest than any other level. yeah, it's a pain starting each new game and hitting "my stuff" 4 times to get to my favorite level, but the scores are getting higher and higher. ANd you only have to do it with a new game....the layouts are the same for that level every time.
My other strategy is try and get your "ball" stuck between a bumper and a wall.....I have scored and extra 500-1800 points doing that. Corner bumpers are awesome.
