Quoted from mpdpvdpin:Interesting, pretty sure my timer runs from mode start to finish regardless of where the ball is.
I know its been a few days, but just to followup with this... I verified that the timer does NOT count down when you are up at the house working on the spinners. The timer stops when you go up the ramp and are in the house. It only continues once you hit something off of the house playfield, like dropping down into the subway, or getting launched off by the drop target flipping up... Once you hit something not on the house playfield, the timer continues.
So the 60 second countdown is only to get back up there and continue the mode. I watched others play, as well and looked at my timer when I was playing and it freezes every time I am up there.
Just something to note...
