So I have been seriously enjoying this game, even much more than I thought I would. Really glad that I acquired the game.
From my last post, I did try that small PETG plastic from pinball life, and it made the whole magnet function work much worse in my case. The ball would eventually come to center, but having that distance of the magnet away from the playfield, the ball would wobble back and forth until coming to true center over the magnet and by the time it was ready to toss the ball back up to the playfield, it was still wobbling a bit and would just hit the bottom of the flipper (and again, at random unreliable strengths)...so I took the plastic out and the ball goes straight to the magnet now, but still with the same random unreliable nature of the ball tossing, oh well... it's a bummer because that's a really neat idea and function, and when it does toss it up back onto the playfield it's great! It seems as though others experience this too, although not everyone. I wonder if this is something that could be potentially improved upon in future code? Does anyone know if this a function that can be improved upon by code update? I've tried all the different available patterns, it seems as though pattern 2 gives me the best overall results, although as above, unreliably.
The other thing I've noticed, and certainly not a mark against the game, but in the pit creature mode when you hit a green shot and there's the countdown timer, it sure would be nice if there was some sound that correlated with that countdown that gave you the impression that you were making progress. It just sort of stays quiet after you hit a shot. I think it'd be really nice to have some audio update on that mode in that regard.
now that I've got the opportunity to really put some time into the game, I think one of my favorite mode right now in terms of light show and song is the vampire mode, and I love the little squeal that you hear when you hit the vampire target. Really awesome
Really such a neat game and great concept of going between rooms and battling monsters. Really loving it!!
