Be patient ! Kickstarter campaigns mean you dont get the game instantly, plus as others have said it does take some time to create it/get the game through Apples approval process etc. I mean we're spoilt at the moment with is it 14 or so tables already. Just be patient !

You'll be the first to moan if the tables released quickly and is full of bugs

Did they just re-release the v1.1.9?

Very very impressive !

I mean obviously they are based on real machines but i was impressed by the copy we've got on iOS, a ton of detail.

The pinball machines did seem harder but some were frustratingly harder so i'm glad the app is a bit easier. But into the app even more after playing on many of the originals

The reason I've been impressed with this app is that I actually have played them when they were first made on the real tables years ago in the arcades here. Spent so many quarters and so much time on them. Still so many others I would love to see that go back further in time, but I feel lucky to be able to have these to play any time I want! Nostalgia for sure! The great detail makes me smile every time! I do agree that they should be dialed in better game play wise before releasing more tables, though.

But have they addressed the game weirdness when starting a new game after having just played a game where some balls were locked but never released via a multiball? While I have yet to see the old "two balls on the plunger", it seems instead when in this same situation and I hit start the game goes into a demonstration mode that only quitting out and then restarting the table will get you out of.

Oh, and what is the "Post Processing" option all about?

No mentioning of bug fixes in the update description.
The post processing option seems an experiment with light effects and such. An effort to make it look better at cost of performance(read unplayable).

Well happy theres another two tables out, just bought them this morning. Havent had the bugs above people have mentioned (yet).

Becoming a really nice collection of tables now, still annoying on the ipod touch i seem to get the white icon (then have to delete/re-install) whereas on my iphone it updates fine.

Where do I find that option?

In the options menu when selecting tables.

I really hope someone here who took the plunge and bought the pro menu for totan could shine a light on what it actually does. I would have bought it myself but thanks to the price increase on the dutch app store i'm €0.20 short^^.

It's in the Options of the Main Menu where you select a table, not in the options once you're actually loaded a specific table.

Supposedly it only shows up as an option for iPad 3 and beyond, and have to second the unplayable bit. Well, to be honest, I don't think the slowdown was game breaking, but it was pretty noticiable. So what do you get at the cost of this slow down? All of the colors become very muted. I'm guessing the idea is to really mute the colors so that the tables' lights will stand out better, but, to be honest, I didn't see the point of it myself.
