I was playing Tron last night and got to SoS with all the ladder lit solid except for the discs. I cleared out all the disc shots except for the right orbit which for me is pretty tough shot. I got the ball up to near the right corner twice after the ball was in the pops a little but could never register a nice shot.

Wouldn't you know it that an accidental GEM shot came down through the pops and drained.

That was by far the furthest progression I've made. It is usually GEM that keeps me from progressing and the fact that most of the ladder was solid before I hit SoS is a near miracle for my skill.

Just wanted to share. Have a great Mother's Day and keep on flippin'

The right loop shot is one of the hardest shots for me to make. I always get it tangled up in hitting the pops when I go for that shot... I have been in portal multi ball once and that was when my personal best high score was set. Awesome game and challenging.. keep on and you will get it

Bummer. It sucks that this shot doesn't have a 2-second ball saver. The design of the shot is just too quirky…needs a software fallback. Can't imagine Borg designed that shot to ever drain.

In SoS, you can shoot the spinner and it counts as a disc shot also. Comes in very handy for the Gem disc shot.

(obiwan) : use the force Darin...

well, once again, reaching PORTAL should not be a prob, but completing it its another story

good luck

Close only counts in hopscotch and hand grenades. Better luck next time!
