            Yes, it's harvest time down at the bumper farm!
             Grab all the ripe red bumpers from the field!


Bumper Harvest is a tribute to a very popular (and very addictive)
casual game for the PC.

Use the D-Pad to aim the ball launcher left and right.
Hold down L to fine-tune your aiming.
Fire the ball by pressing X.
As the ball hits the small bumpers, they light up and are removed from the
field. Hit all the red bumpers to progress to the next level.

Red bumpers are worth 200 points; all others are worth 100 points.

Green bumpers give you 3 targeting guides each. There are two on each level.
Hold down R while aiming to use a targeting guide. (Using the guide multiple
times during one shot will only use up a single guide.)
Guides are not saved between levels, so use 'em or lose 'em.

The yellow bumper gives you a bonus score multiplier. There is one on each
level. All bumpers hit after the yellow bumper on the current shot are worth
10 times their normal score.

There are also two fixed bumpers on each level which are simply obstacles, and
two active bumpers which give the ball a boost.

At the bottom of the screen is the return chute, which gives you a free ball if
the ball lands in it at the end of the shot.

If you earn 5000 points or more on a single shot, you also earn a free ball.
Your ball score meter is the green bar on the left.

As you remove bumpers from the field, your bonus meter goes up, earning you
x2, x5 or even x10 points per bumper hit. (Note that this stacks with the
yellow bumper bonus, so you can earn up to x100 score multiplier!)

You gain 3 extra balls at the start of each new level.
There are 30 bumpers, with 10 red bumpers on the first level.
As the levels progress, the blue bumpers are gradually replaced by red bumpers...

Good luck and have fun!
