Same here, but sounds like that's the direction they're going - at some point we're going to have to accept the new mode system or not update at all. Might just wait for the next one.

So if you turn off the time out mode option, the game plays almost like the old version?

Personally I'd prefer not being able to time out (the progress saved, like the current code), but instead you can select the modes (rather than ladders).

Timing out will make the game way too easy. We'll need to have 2 high score categories - time out/no time out.

Code rushed out for Expo?

The old code remembers progress of modes. Not sure what everyone's talking about with the new code.

Same, been playing the old code all weekend and it's pretty good. Definitely needs some tweeks, maybe a couple of extra multiballs , but I think they have gone too far making it "easier" on the new code. Im only an average player, and I can get to the last rung on all the mode ladders if that's what I concentrate on. Not every game, but enough to give me incentive to keep playing.

Biggest let down of the new code sounds like timing out modes (plus some bugs).
