There are two magma save buttons on the top of the screen. I dont no, why they are up there, but they may help you, to keep the ball in the game.

Hi Rudi
Thanks for the info
I'm getting better at this table and it's addictive and awesome!

Awesome and seriously addictive!!
Especially when in his computerized voice he challenges the player....sounds so menacing

Hi LordGek
Sounds like that maneuver could be just as tricky on an iPhone/iTouch device!

I also cant understand, why they placed the magmasave buttons on the top.
I hope they will bring us the buttons down in an update.It's impossble to push them right in time now.

I still don't understand the new highscore system. I see a strange Hall of fame
list, with a strange scoring system, but can't see, where I can compare my real table highscores with others? Is this still only possible with this facebook shit?

Another sloppy update. In previous versions, you could at least see where your score ranked on the global leader board. Now, you can't. You'd have to physically scroll the entire list until you find your ranking. Before, you could tap the lower-right button and it would cycle through filters. Now, nothing.

And GC support? Barely.

The Main menu will also need an overhaul at some point, as a future spent sliding through 40+ tables until I find the one I want to play is not a future I welcome.

You guys make such a great game and I really appreciate what you're doing for pinball, but your interface, front-end and haphazard attempts at a leader board are comical for reasons that aren't funny.

Just being a fanboy here.

I just made the jump from iPad 1G to 3G and, crap weasels, this game in particular looks and plays like a totally new beast (in a good way)!

Amen.

I don't know who is in charge of making the interface decisions and coding the front-end (leader boards etc.) but this is getting ridiculous. What. The. Hell. Are. They. Smoking!?

Pinball without a well thought out and fully working global leader boards is just plain silly.

The Pro Pinball team got a well working global leader board system back in 1997!!! That's 15 years ago! Farsight... you are borderline schizophrenic in the way that you have the POTENTIAL of an almost sublime product but completely and utterly keep messing it all up on the very BASICS.

Robust front end, well thought out scoring system and solid bug tracking team (which is obviously missing as there are still massive show stopping bugs in the game.. like the ball still going through the flippers in certain situations!) should be NUMBER 1 in priority before even starting a project of this magnitude. It is all backwards now..

Oh how I wish they could get their act together.

Maybe, but I'd think if playing in landscape it would be an easy stretch from my default thumb position.
