Looks great.

Just curious, have you ever played a Maverick? I like how it uses drop targets to play poker to win chips which start modes. It also has some interesting mechanics with the "discard" and "win streak" concepts for dealing with hitting drops you're not supposed to (unless you want to gamble on even bigger points) and for giving the player a strategic reason to fold to keep a high win streak (multiplier for completing hands)

Quoted from zacaj:

I've played it a few times but it never seemed like the hands were important. Modes seemed to light themselves without much work, and the big points were in multiball. I never worried about what targets I was or was not hitting

You should really dive back into the rule mechanics. The game has horrible scoring balance and is a poor competitive game, but the hands are a really neat concept which are poorly explained by the game itself. Because if you can work up your hands and win streaks, then you can get some absolutely massive (500m+) rewards for completing hands
