Farmer McDonald is trying out the new Accu-Pick 2600 to pick his strawberry crops. Pick the ripe berries, but leave the unripe and rotten berries alone. And be quick about it! With each row, the earning power becomes greater, but you will have less time to pick. Make as much money as you can before you either run out of extra chances (either due to picking berries that are not ripe or not making a pick when you need to) or complete all available rows.
Either one person can play by themselves, or two players can play at the same time to pick the yummy strawberries together! Farming has never been so fun! You might even say it is now ... Berry Fun!
Gameplay
The basic rules of Berry Fun! are:
Each row has a certain number of available ripe berries to pick. The berries (one, two, or three of them) will be in nine possible locations on the screen. Use the Joystick to move the picking target reticle over the berry and press fire to pick. Upon a successful pick, you will be awarded the current monetary value of the pick. If you pick an unripe or rotten berry, you will lose an extra chance. Starting in row 4, if you fail to pick at least one berry of any type, you will also lose an extra chance. If you have no more extra chances and make a mistake, you will be done for the day, and the game will end.
For every row you complete, you will gain an extra chance (up to six). If you complete row 2 on Play mode or row 12 on Work mode, you will have successfully completed the game. In Work mode, starting on row 2 at the halfway point, the window of time to pick the amount of money you get for a successful pick will be cut in half, so be quick in your picks!
