398,690 - thought I'd post an early one on this, just so that I can say that I was leading the tournament at some point other than after the first day of the first game. Now for the big slide down the ladder👇

I thought, hey this game looks fun, then launched the first ball and tried to catch it on my flipper.... rolls away and drains... oh no, not one of them. It does seem pretty fun though.

 

I played 5 or 6 games of this and my best score was around 300,000. I had one more game and decided to test the analogue v digital nudge thing and pulled out the keyboard to use button/digital nudge and this was the result. It makes it quite a bit easier in my mind.

I get an options menu which pops up after each game. I find it difficult to get rid of. I looked in the script but found nothing

 

I found if you enter on the Save and Exit option nothing happens, but if you scroll down one click past Save and Exit and enter, it will work and won't come back.

Big surprise, another EM i don't like.. I played a few games with super low scores till I bothered to check this and find out it should be on 5 ball.

 

The ball physics on the current 2 tables just feel way off to me. I just can't seem to get more than 1 maybe 2 good balls on this one. EB is a bitch to collect.

I remember when you said desktop players had the advantage, Dedrok didn't agree with you though.

 

I remember that,

 

i've tried playing desktop versions when my pincab was dead, but i never scored well at all. usually did worse ! huge respect to kane's ability to destroy some games on desktop, like he did on MM.

Here’s my best so far but I just read in a previous post we’re doing 5 balls?? I’ll have to check the rules. This was my 3 ball score.

[edit] Just checked and we are doing 5 ball games!! My game defaulted to 3 so I didn’t bother looking or changing it. Well, hope that helps my scoring 🤣.

Yeah 5 ball. I loaded it and played and it played as 5 ball so I assumed that was default so that is what we are running with.

To change the 3\5 Ball setting just press both flippers when you first open the table, a "settings" menu will pop up.

 

Thanks so much for this!! I tried every script change I could, but nothing worked. I'll give this a shot tonight.
