I was truly starting to hate this game!! LOL It just feels like it screws you over so intentionally. Thanks to some good tips from Ricky Pinball aka RickR, I'm doing pretty good, at least more consistent, and will keep on playing this game for a while. The 3rd level is almost a joke for me. Straight down the gutter almost every time.

Giving it one more chance. 🙂
 

@Gianna High five!!  You broke 100K!

I'm getting a better handle of the controls.  Here's a new score...
 

OK, I just downloaded this to give it a spin.  I'm using emulation and I'm having a hell of a time controlling this but here is the score I got after a couple of games...
 

I'm not great at this game yet, but I can share a few tips to hopefully bring others above 100k:
On the top screen, forget about aiming the ball.  It feels like the table is designed to send any aimed shots right down that left gutter.  Instead, always hit the ball straight up.  Get that top/left flashy target to 1000 points.  Shooting straight up will hit that over and over.  Your score will rack up fast. On the bottom screen, aiming is critical.  Get the three ducks visible first thing to add the gutter blocks.  I haven't mastered it at all, but you want to hit the top/right target to get you into the bonus round as often as possible.  If anyone has a specific tip on how to do this, please share!  That bonus screen can mean BIG points if you can keep the ball in play and rescue the girl at least once.  If the gutter blocks get hit, go back to getting the three ducks right away to get them back.  

I don't know how I did it. 132,550.
 

I got a little closer.  I wasn't wearing my glasses 😂 93,730.
 

I beat my old score but Justin is killing it.  
350,000?!?  I can't get 100,000.  I'd feel like I won the lottery if I could reach that.
I got 84,530.

182,500
 

I'm putting my money on Rick! It's not looking good over here.

Tried again today but didn't break 350,000. Will try again.

153,390 on a retron 3. 

I'll have whatever you are having because it gave you some sort of super power.  I can't get close to beating my little score.  My 68,000 so far seems like a miracle happened for me.

Once you get past 150,000 it feels like the game gets easier. The paddles come back from being invisible and you get into a flow. It feels hard to get to 50,000. Once you break past a certain point you just keep going.

Much better! 🙂 132,360

I second this.  Go @greenween!  We'll be right behind you.

Yeah, I won't surpass that score. I nominate @greenween! Go get 'em!
 
*runs away*

Somebody please beat this score, I don't want to have to be the one who wins this. Going to give this another shot just for fun. Looking for someone here to break one million.
My New High Score: 736,650

Much better! 🙂 132,360
