Quoted from TheShameGovernor:It would be cool to see some different ways to lose like you mentioned, though. Maybe something where the outlanes were closed off for a set amount of time while you had to make very specific shots/combos. Or a multiball where you needed to hit two targets at the same time to "unlock" the mode you're in.
In Spy hunter the 2 Outlanes are both on the left, which in itself is odd. But your initial plunger shot is actually a timed skillshot that if you hit right awards 50k and opens up a "save" for one of the Outlanes that goes away after a single use. So you can reduce your Outlanes by 50% if you start the ball right.
