On my iPad, I'm trying to buy Earthshaker. I want the $5 version. They also offer an $8 version. When I click 'buy' it offers: CANCEL - BUY EARTHSHAKER - BUY EARTHSHAKER --I cannot tell which is which - it's not labeled. Strange. Guess I'll have to wait for an update, but looks like a nicely profitable omission

Quoted from Kineticross:

The 8 dollar version offers IFPA pro tips, Playfield navigation, and being able to change the game's features using the display

Yeah. My point is that the game doesn't indicate which button buys which version.

Quoted from Blackjacker:

Yeah, TPA's interface has always been a pig. The text doesn't fit in the buttons so you just see "Buy Earthshaker" in each one.
The first option is the 'normal' $5 and the second is the 'pro' $8.

Thank you!

The Pinball Arcade "physics" are terrible, terrible, terrible and get worse as more balls come into play. How many times do you see the exact same shot do the exact same thing with perfect predictability. It's sad that they have such an awesome set of artwork but can't add a pinball game to the graphics. It's also sad that they have to kickstart some games as I watch Zen Pinball crank out license after license. It's also sad Stern didn't go with Zen or Pro Pinball to make their games. But, then again, they are our only (iOS) choice for these games and we can just say we buy them to learn the rules (that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it).

It needs a complete engine remake.

I have many games now that simply won't play. Flight 2000 to name just one. . .thanks for the 'update'!

Quoted from Kolchak357:

If you are on iOS. Go to table management and delete the table and then redownload it

I am iOS - thank you for the info

Just updated to include WCS and When I try to play WCS, I'm presented with a Ball-Pack purchase screen. I sure wish Zen Studios could take over for these guys. . .

Anyone else experience stuttering on iPad? I've 2 different current models and they both stutter. All other apps are closed.

Pinball Arcade is dead to me - they need to stop making tables for it and create a modern ‘OS’ — the whole thing is a mess and the ‘physics’ are predetermined paths. I’ve stopped buying new releases (but otherwise own all but the last 3 or 4). I’ve reached the end. Time shock and Zen are both much better.

Quoted from Lethal_Inc:

Why is this table not in the Stern Pinball Arcade? Either way, I have not bought shit from Farsight for a while because the quality just isn't there anymore. Sounds familiar.

I seems to me that Stern PA was a cash grab and abandoned. Star Trek still has at least one non-working insert lamp — still. . . It’s amazing to have that bug and never be fixed.

Wild Card bug? The right saucer has two lit inserts. Hit it once, collect one insert. Hit it again and collect the 2nd. However, if you drain before collecting the 2nd, the inserts “swap” between balls and you cannot get the 2nd for the rest of the game. Is the correct behavior? Playing on iOS.
