    Your wasting your time telling children to stop spamming "wheres the update!!" posts. They have nothing else to do other than impend on a update that can come out anytime. Patience is something the new gen doesnt have

    Point your fingers at Apple, not the customers. They're the source of the problem.

    I'm pretty sure the source of the problem is the developer first releasing a broken update, and then also ignoring the developer documentation which says to implement a "restore purchases" button in the first place.

    Believe me when I tell you they're dying for all of us to go download the new tables. Im positive that they're doing everything to get the update out.

    Just need to wait a little guys...

    There's lots of games and apps that don't implement a Restore Purchases button, so I doubt that's the issue. Unless this was a recent policy change. Was it? And yes all apps should have a Restore Purchases button.

    Downloading update now. Neeeeeew taaaaables!

    Edit: Gah, can't buy new tables yet. Giving me some malarky about needing an internet connection. Probably just need to wait for all the servers to align with each other.

    Edit edit: Fast app switching seems to be working perfectly now. I was seeing a lot of crashes if I dared to switch or lock my device before. Also, there's a new icon but it looks like a bit of a sidegrade to me.

    I like edits, do you like edits?: New tables downloading now. I think my mistake earlier was in asking to restore purchases. There was no need for me to do it, and it seemed to send the app into some kind of stupid loop. Bride of Pinbot and Medieval Madness are $3 each or $5 for the set. I know what I'm doing tonight!

    The new tables are very nice. I especially like the Mideival table. I'm really impressed with how each table handles so differently.

    Any suggestions on skill shots for Bride of Pinbot? This is the first table where the skill shot really means a lot for me as far as points so now I actually care about getting them but even with a feather touch I go from hitting the last slot (20k?) to not even making it up the ramp. Is the sensitivity on this thing insane or am I missing a trick here?

    Please tell me the next two are Attack From Mars and Funhouse!

    Does "fix for iPad 3 owners" mean retina support? If not, is it planned?

    looks like they have fixed the transparent plastic on Arabian Nights. Looks much better now. And yes, the new tables are awesome:)

    Seems like the ball bounces around a lot in the skill shot, so it's not going to respond linearly to a change in power. You've just to try to peg the right amount of power and consistently deliver that amount.

    Also, I joined the billionaire club on my first game, but it didn't record the score. Is that normal? If billionaires just get disqualified, that makes it the crappiest award in pinball history. :p

    Can you be a little more descriptive? It's not responding linearly but I need to peg the "right amount"? Is it really super pixel sensitive? IMO the real pinball experience does not require an extremely tight window of spring pressure to nail the skill shots (in any pinball game I've ever played) so if this is the case they really need to consider patching in how much each pixel/mm/whatever increases the velocity.

    There's a ton of give left in the plunger but you can't go more than what looks like a real world inch (about a cm on an iPhone) w/o the ball going much farther than it should. Maybe's it's just easier on an iPad.


    EDIT: Nevermind, it looks like it's sensitive to how LONG you have held the plunger (this is not a good representation of physics, btw). If you're quick about it you can control the ball better. But if you're trying to take it easy and get the right distance it's all over the place.

    I got the update on my iPad 2, but the app icon is now blank. I tried rebooting but it didn't help that. The app seems to be working and I'm downloading Medieval, but very slowly. If I don't keep tapping the screen periodically the screen powers off and the download fails. I wish this worked smoother.
