Cheats, Tricks, Bugs, and Easter Eggs

• Javelin: Throw the javelin off the top of the screen to bring down a bird for a 1000 bonus.
• Javelin: Keep the 'run' button held down after throwing the javelin and it will travel another 20 or so metres further than not holding the button down.
• High Jump: Fail the first two jumps and then clear it. A mole burrows up for a 1000 bonus.
• Long Jump: Three jumps with same result will get a bird to scroll from right to left and award a 1000 bonus.
• 100m Dash: the same time for player one and two will award a 1000 bonus.

BUG: In Javelin, throwing over 100m will cause a counter wraparound, so a 100m12 throw will be logged as 0m12 and will not qualify you
