Played about an hour or so on 1.12. They definitely squashed some bugs, but I've noticed that after draining during a mode that the music and mode dots play for a second after the bonus tallies. Kind of sloppy.

Magna slings are definitely a bit more tamed down. In 1.05 you could adjust the sling power. They took that out in 1.10 and it hasn't been back. PLEASE BRING THIS BACK. I miss my slings being super active and lively. In 1.12, they're pretty low power by default, and you can't change it. Hardly any side to side action. It's really frustrating.

The ball sometimes gets stuck in the right scoop if you lock during a mode. Had it happen 3 times playing with a friend last night. Doesn't kick on ball search.

I don't know. The magna slings are so lame now. They really dialed them back, which sucks. In 1.05 you can turn them up. I think I'm going to go back to 1.05.

Nope, it's a bug. I'm having it too. If you lock during a mode, it will often just award the lock and then fail to kick out a new ball or eject one from the scoop (if you already have balls in the subway lock). It will go through 2-3 ball searches until it finally just kicks a new ball out. It's pretty frustrating.

It's not super common. In about 4-5 hours of play, I've seen it maybe 3 times now.

All it would take is an obvious sound cue for when it changes. Wouldn't take anything more than that.

This is correct. Modes will still time out, but with "no" selected on the time out mode option, it won't allow you to progress to the next mode in the ladder.
