Ripleys has a lot to do, lots of modes and strategy if you have a small collection RBION for the cost, longevity and depth.
RBION has a ball save unless you go for the skill shot - any targets you hit above the skill shot scoop instantly shut off the ball save. Anything below the scoop you can hit and get the ball back infinitely. Dont hit the tiki head though, that will shut off the saver as well.
