    In the time that I've been socially distancing I've been playing more Bally Williams pinball on my phone. I like that the league mode they have is timed, where you basically play a single ball with unlimited ball save for 5 minutes. Does this exist as a feature on any newer games? If not, is it something you'd like to see included? I personally find it an exciting way to play competition (at least on a phone). I think the programming would be fairly easy, and this could be a nice feature both for fun play and tournaments. No more 15 minute ball times! It would also be interesting to see how each machine's strategic approach would vary if you could vary times. Shorter times with video feed could make remote competition much more viable.

    You could also do fastest to X points or other goals.

    I like the idea of "party modes"
