You can stop the bugs by hitting them with Pumbaa's tail. If they do make it to the ground, they will come after you. You gain points by hitting the different bugs before they touch the ground. He does this by using his powerful burps. All sorts of goodies fall from the tree and it's Pumbaa's job to prevent the objects from hitting the ground. He's located at the bottom of the playing field while Timon is nearby shaking a tree. Pumbaa is the controllable character in this addictive game. Pinball has never been so much fun!īurper was the next game I tried out. Complete with zany sound effects and voices, this game kept me coming back for more.
Timon, Pumbaa and a host of other characters appear as targets. There are many hidden areas and bonuses to uncover. The game starts you off with 3 pill bugs and the object is to rack up as many points as possible. The pill bug, Disney's variation of the pinball, is launched by pressing the "enter" key. The right and left flippers are used by pressing the "/" and "z" keys respectively. The controls are simple enough to understand. They are extremely clear and vibrant, as if they were taken right from the cartoon. The first thing that was noticeable were the detailed graphics. The first game I tried out was Jungle Pinball. Each game is different from the other as detailed below. It's like a scene right from the Lion King. It's pretty hilarious to hear these two try and explain the games. When one of the games is chosen, Timon and Pumbaa race over to the game you've selected and explain how to play the game. From the menu are the 5 selectable games. The player can click on practically anything on the screen and something will happen. The menu is crawling with animals and bugs. The main menu is where the adventures begin. With fancy graphics and humor only Disney could think of, each game is a joy to play. Most of the games are familiar adaptations of older arcade hits. They take the player to their Jungle Arcade where there are 5 games available for play. When you first begin the game, you're treated to a fantastic introduction starring, of course, Timon and Pumbaa. Timon & Pumbaa's Jungle Games is geared toward the younger kids, but has more than enough fun and entertainment for gamers of all ages.
