I can star a game on my Stars and next thing I know I’ve started my 20th game on it.

It’s a kick in the groin when you get that last star lit, and then drain.

Quoted from sulli10:

LOL, mine too!
Have had the chance to hit the moving star for a hundred K a few times. What a great feature! This game has so many really nice nuances that really are pleasing to the player. One cool one is the value of the single pop number to hitting the two upper playfield stars. Having only one pop, but making it so important in progressing though the game...very simple yet very elegant!
Do I rip the the spinner with two lights or do I knock down the last target to get triple bonus? Damn, drano! Only got the double bonus and just missed the score for an extra ball..... how many times has that happened.... .

I never go for only 2 stars with the spinner....usually I will hit it on 4. I only go for 5 if I'm up or very desperate and behind the other players.

Yep, that was the spinner I was referring to in this case.

I see.

It is a great game. So simple but so good.

LOL. I had a similar night last night, but on one of the last games, the last ball of that game, I hit the roving star ! Put me over the EB score so Extra ball as well. Sweeeeeet! Every ball is its own game .

Well said. Every ball is a new game... I don't despair on the 2 poor balls as long as one is left. You can do so much damage if you just get a piece of one.
