That alligator jaw thing on the upper right is pretty funny. Does that unzip your flippers when you use it because I noticed the player never used it when it was available to him and his flippers were zipped.
It does not unzip the flippers. I feel like more points are available in the pop bumpers when they’re lit, and so at times it’s probably best to not use the gator or to use it to push the ball into the pops, as opposed to grabbing it.
This is a deceptively fun game!
I’m a little surprised by that since one gator grab is equal to 10 lit pop bumper hits. Then again it seems like and easy drain down the middle coming out of the gator shoot.
Yeah that gator mechanism seems like it really enhances gameplay and adds comical value. It is amazing how something so simple can add so much!
Yeah, you nailed it. It’s pretty dangerous coming out of the gator grab, but then again it’s not so dangerous it’s worth totally avoiding. I’m back and forth on this issue. I can honestly say I’m not totally sold on either strategy, using it or pushing the ball to the lit bumpers. I’ve had success both ways. The video is here though, so players can go ahead and decide for themselves ;o)
You’re missing a flatrail on the gator exit… It shouldn’t bounce off the island at the bottom there, should come out smoothly… Unless you took it out for difficulty.
The rail at the Gator exit is not missing. It is on the wrong side of the post. You can see it in this photo from the IPDB.
