Quoted from Whysnow:

I am surprised after MGC of the fan fare, I found the right side shots to just be too tight to be fun (maybe I just suck) and not a whole lot of shots. I was able to hit about 2 shots with any accuracy. Aside from that I need to hold off any real judgement till I get a shot to play a few more games on a hopefully refined second version/build.
Very impressive on where they have come in such a short time and excited to see what it holds, but as for now my first impression was mixed. It was not very fun to shoot (I played 3 games to give it a solid show chance and watched probably 15 other games played), but some cool code ideas (as expected since Rosh is full of neat code stuff) combined with what I think is a cool theme and possibilities. I am hoping they make some tweaks to help it shoot better and look forward to where this goes. The ball toss is a cool toy/mech/idea in action!
Good luck Rosh and looking forward to how your code progresses!

Yes, those shots are insanely tight.

I am very interested in seeing how the code is coming along.

Quoted from Bond_Gadget_007:

Ramps need more sound effects. Amateur pinball companies always miss this detail. There should Always be 2 sfx per ramp/orbit. One for successful shot, a different one when ball rolls back down failed shot. Big boy companies never miss this detail! C’mon now. Silent ramps are not satisfying to hit, ever.

all of his post are negative nancy. move along.

Larry with FlipNOut pinball brought his Houdini to Nashville yesterday for everyone to play and check out. I am blown away this is a companies first game. Looks great, plays great, code is good and will get better, tons of shots and cool toys and features. They priced it right for what you get and I personally feel like they hit a home run. It is refreshing to see a new start up do what they say and produce a quality game in a very reasonable time frame. Looking forward to adding one to the gameroom.
