Love the theme and the rotating ramp is one of my favorite toys in pinball. Unfortunately that single ramp is where ALL the points are so there's literally only one shot in the whole game worth shooting (to be fair, you do have to collect the seltzer ingredients via other shots before you endlessly shoot the ramp). And if I remember correctly, the single 2 ball multiball is only achievable as a random award so that's just lazy. I loved it for a week so there is some short term fun there, but all in all it's the worst game I've owned.

Quoted from dothedoo:

Wow, see, been too long....I didn't remember all that. I didn't know multiball was random, I thought collecting all the ingredients was how you got multiball.

The ingredients open up the 50 million ramp shot, which you can shoot repeatedly until time runs out. The game is otherwise fairly low scoring though so it's literally pointless to do anything else. And yeah, the only way to get multiball is by way of a random mystery award. There is some fun there and I guess that's the frustrating part, as it's seriously the laziest coding/ruleset that I've ever played...it could have been a decent game.
