Alright fan club, help me appreciate this game. Art and sounds are awesome, but gameplay is sorely lacking for me. Not trying to troll or rain on anyone's parade, just sincerely trying (and failing) to enjoy this game. Please tell me I'm wrong!

Top rollovers light special on the red drop targets. Bottom red drop target is impossible to hit directly, but that's okay, because those targets don't add bonus, are worth only 500 points, and might award a special (not very exciting on free play). Avoid.

Vari-target isn't worth anything until you get it all the way back. Oddly enough, the rules reward you based on how few shots it takes to do that, but it's so far away from the flippers it's impossible to do in one or two shots. Oh, and it's a SDTM death shot. Avoid.

Yellow drop targets are worth decent points, add bonus, AND bonus multipliers. Left flipper to right yellow targets will often send the ball to the right outlane. And the left flipper can't hit the left targets. So the entire game is just right flipper to four yellow targets.

Saucer is good value and (occasionally) bonus collect, but it's nearly impossible to shoot directly. The bumpers will put it in there more often than the player can.

No spinner.
