Okay so first thing, I think you missed Haggis Fathom Mermaid edition no? Which by the way, is really really good.
But my choice is Rush.
With the more polished code, this game is a sleeper imho.
Initially I also did not like it because I didn’t really have a strategy at all because I didn’t know what the hell I was doing.
So because of that, ball times were short with some nasty drains.
Now, it’s amazing.
It’s rare where I enjoy playing a game by myself to try and reach wizard mode AND a game to play for score and play for dollars against my buddies.
This is one of them and it plays fast.
If you can crank that shot from the right flipper through the pops and then combo up the side ramp with the upper right flipper, you’re in combo heaven
It’s a rush!!! Sorry, I couldn’t resist.
In general, it gets my respect because it’s got fair but relatively a few tough shots to hit on a consistent basis,
-the shot through the pops
-the right ramp
-the scoop and side tamp with upper right flipper.
