Enjoying the game so far. It is a very non-conventional layout and takes a lot of “learning” to get used to ball returns, paths, timing etc. It’s a great change from the Ritchie or Borg layouts I’ve mostly been playing. I can see this being a very tough/bad location game for players who don’t want to spend their coin drop figuring it out, which is exactly how I felt about WOZ. Gameplay is fun and 1.06 feels like a “complete” game. The upper pfs are interesting and have good balance of novelty without getting into gimmick territory. Modes are cool and feel a lot more than just “hit the flashing shots”.
I do have some build complaints. My pf glass is nowhere near square which makes one side longer than the other (trapezoid?). I normally wouldn’t care, but it makes installing the lock bar almost impossible. I spent several minutes trying to bend a strip on the bar to accommodate, but it’s still very tight and can still take a few minutes of fiddling to get on. Hopefully I don’t need to take remove the glass often. Also the knife toy is a on the flimsy side and wobbles as you play.
All in all it’s a fun game and definitely a winner. I am super jealous of anyone who picked up a discounted preorder off the pinside marketplace when buyers panicked!
