Without access to all the nudge features, it can be a bit difficult getting your ball to go where you want or need it, especially when required to send it up a certain ramp or to a certain area.Īnother problem is tracking the ball with the default 3/4 top down view. Using only a keyboard as the controller draws your attention away from the ball. Unless you have a joystick or some other type of controller, you can't really use the nudge features and are limited to using only the left and right flippers, the plunger and one of the nudge buttons.

You collect points by hitting bumpers, lighting up words, completing different rides and visiting the snack shop. Because it's pinball, there is no story per se but you do have an objective besides getting as many points as possible - send your ball on all 15 rides before the park closes and be treated to a special fireworks display. In fact, at times it seems like just one huge advertisement for Hershypark, the theme park located in Pennsylvania.
