Quoted from chadderack:

Is that the Forehead LE model?

I thought it was the slaphead special edition

If they can manufacture these games i.e beyond boutique level, AP are going to be a serious contender.

That might be a smart move in an ultra competitive market.

One edition but a limited number.

Sell out and move on to title 2.

Just wondering with a question on the rules.

Is there any dynamic scoring, by that I mean using multipliers to blow up jackpots and super jackpots?

#1147 6 years ago

Nice.

So, a 4x super jackpot is possible right now.

Not played the game but a 7x super jackpot sounds enticing and gives the player even more excitement and added longevity as doesn't sound like it would happen too often.

It is these kind of hooks that really keep players coming back to games. If the jackpot and super jackpot value is dependent on what a player has done prior to triggering them, might even be room for a Super Jackpot Champion award at end of game?

Just watched this. Fascinating.

Quoted from konjurer:

Just listened to Kaneda's review of Houdini and I thought it was very fair. Kaneda hated BM64 and now owns one so he'll have a better day with Houdini once he finds one where he can hear the music and callouts and it is set up properly. I think it's fair to say that not everyone is going to love it. I did. I really loved it.
I do think the tight shot reputation is WAY overblown. It like a self fulfilling prophesy thing. It looks tight and so therefore when I brick a shot it feeds into that expectation that its so tight that you're never going to find the shot.
Every machine worth playing has tough shots! I have a KISS and everyone bitches about the right ramp being impossible to hit. Once you figure out how to backhand then you hit it every time. Yet, the orbit through the bumpers is impossible for me to hit. And when I do connect with that shot it feels freaking great. Now if KISS made the completion of every mode dependent on that left orbit I would hate the game. Like Houdini, KISS gives me other paths to take to get around that shot. It makes the game fun and challenging to get through. Do you really want a game that every shot is equally as easy to hit?

So, how do you backhand right ramp on KISS?! Only done it accidentally...
