Also, if you need some practice, the first 8 battles use a slower reel speed for all 3 reels. If you manage to get used at aiming in those battles, you can then move on to faster reels afterwards.

Also, aiming on all 3 reels takes time. What I do is aim only for the middle reel but still use the stop all reels button. So I leave the other 2 reels to luck and in a way choose my strongest weapon in the 2nd reel.

Excellent, thanks! I'll try that. It's a really wonderful little game, and I played the everloving shit out of yesterday. You guys did a great job.

However, I think you may want to consider slowing the reels JUST A HAIR, because it would introduce a whole new game mechanic for people like me. I tried REALLY hard last night for a couple hours to get the timing down. I tried counting, and following music beats and nothing worked. I just kept missing. In fact, my aim is so bad, and I miss so often, that it's actually worse for me to try to aim than to just mash the spin button.

Alternately, I see that you aren't considering a temporary reel slowdown for the sequel. That's a bit of a shame. Seems like there's real power in the idea. And drama! One of the most effective things, dramatically, about Peggle is the event-based slow-mo. It's super fun. But in your case, it'd also be a great game mechanic.

Anyway, I think you might want to bandy around the idea of slowing the reels a tiny bit when you add debuff items to the slots. That would be a great counterbalance to the (excellent) idea of enemies "fighting back".
