Quoted from Vdrums:
Another observation from the stream is that no one made the Cannon Shot, including skilled players or JJP folks. It seems that ago may need to be re thought.
I played this several times. The reason the cannon shot was almost unobtainable, is because they changed the rocking motion to almost nonexistant, and made it always to the left, so you can hold the ball on the left side. Normally you can backhand that shot easy and were trying to make it so people can make the shot. Problem is, when they did that, the ball would just stay crotched even with the flipper down. making so the backhand thing didn't work. You can adjust how much rocking, and what angles the mini playfield moves. In a normal setting the shot is doable.
I have to say, I was actually pleased and surprised this game turns out to be really good. Felt great in the shot layout. Had plenty of shots available. Didn't feel confined like WOZ does. Screen display is still a little confusing, but easier to understand than hobbit. But not quite as easy as dialed in. But they are working on that aspect. So far I really like where this one is headed and it may be a JJP game I would want to own down the road.
