On my new Hobbit after a few games it stopped loading balls, turns out it was a bad solder joint on the coil that came loose. Quick fix. Check all the wiring to make sure nothing came loose in transit.

Does seem suspicious it happened after the update but it may or may not be related.

One of my only complaints about the code is the lack of or minimal response to certain shots and modes.

The mini wizard modes start dramatically but end with a thud. If you don't succeed the game should make you feel like you failed. Instead it just rolls along like nothing happened.

Another example is the locked ball shot. I can't even tell when it's been hit. There are no noticeable lighting or sound effects when it is struck.

Other shots feel great like hitting the spinner and getting the mode ball lock. You get the instantaneous spinner sounds, then a cool lock animation and sounds.

If they can ever get to 2.0 and then 3.0 I think the game will feel perfect.
