Digital manual description


Object

The Beanbag Shooter has spinning tiles that show land animals, water animals, food, and means of transportation. Ms. Nobel will give you some clues. Listen carefully to the clues so that you can fire beanbags at the tile that answers her question. The beanbag machine can shoot beanbags at any of the three spinning tiles. You must get four correct answers in a row to win, so use your bags carefully.


 * Listen to the clue. Wait until the answer to the clue shows up in a tile that will help you get four correct answers in a row. Fire the beanbag.
 * You have a limited supply of beanbags. Don't waste them by firing at tiles that can't help you win.

Trivia

 * The manta ray doesn't look like a real manta ray at all; in fact, it looks more like a stingray instead.
 * Despite popular lore, rabbits don't really like to eat carrots as it can kill them unpleasantly, due to carrots being high in sugar and carbohydrates.
 * Octopuses actually have six legs and two arms, not eight arms.
 * Like the carrots, cheese isn't suitable for mouse diet as it lacks nutritional value for the animal.
 * Recently, people prefer sea star over starfish just because they aren't fish.
