Quoted from ForceFlow:It doesn't seem approachable to me and seems jumbled and confusing.
ST is probably the better of the two if you want stuff to do on the playfield and have a clear set of rules.
Most things seem confusing when you don't put any time into learning.
Most modes are color coded and the basics are pretty, well basic. Shoot the colors to light modes, hit the ramp to start modes, shoot the colored shots to complete modes.
Wasn't too hard was it?
