At the risk of sounding stupid, how do you find the option to purchase and download the new tables? Please tell me it doesn't require you to be logged into Facebook to buy new tables now; I don't have it, and never will.
No, the plunger power varies depending on how much you pull back your touch. The problem is that the skill shot on this table isn't a tidy ramp. There's a big rounded bump between each slot on the skill shot. You might expect that if plunger power X gets you 100k, plunger power X+1 would get you the 200k score, but with all these bumps, that little +1 might send your ball skipping over it and into the 25k slot, or it might send it bouncing backwards into the 75k slot. That's what I mean by non-linear. It's kinda like the skill shot on Arabian Nights, but with way more chaos.
Update your app and Bride of Pinbot and MM will be in the gallery. Just swipe to them and tap them to start. The app will ask if you want to restore purchases, if you haven't bought them on any device yet, say no. You should then be offered free play, to purchase the table for $3, or to purchase both new tables for $5. Choose both.
I was certain I'd synced after updating; I guess not. I got them both, although now everything's a crashy mess and I can't get as far as playing before the app goes boom. Has anyone else with an iPod Touch 4 had issues with crashes in this game?
Anyone else have a tiny UI now on the iPad 3? Graphics and performance seem upgraded but UI is kind of annoying. -kap
Several issues. Medieval is partly munged. There is no way to do the super skill shot because you can't hold a flipper up while you plunge - Any tap results in launching the ball. Also, there is no way to use Troll bombs because you can't press the launch button while the ball is in play. Bride of Pinot is ludicrously easy. In my first game I got the billion shot twice and probably 6 big wheel rewards or maybe more. I have never done even remotely close to that IRL. It's hard enough to get one billion in a game on a real machine, let alone two. High scores on this will be in the 10s of billions before long. Every shot is super easy to make. It doesn't have any play issues like Medieval has, though. Also, after I installed the update the app had no icon. It was blank. I decided to delete and reinstall, and that fixed it, but of course progress was lost. The blank icon didn't seem to cause any harm, so I could have just left it until the next update. Lastly, FYI, the free ad-supported play on Medieval does not credit you with achieving goals. I thought it was a bug, but the paid version works correctly so I guess it's intentional, but I bet they'll get some flak in reviews for that not working. They should have made it clear that this was the case. I'm playing on an iPad 2 and it looks and plays great. I get some annoying lag if I get a notification while playing, but that's probably an OS issue.
Much better! But.... On the iPad3 it seems to play just a hair too fast. It's nice and smooth now but just a bit fast. On MM it is impossible to get a super skill shot! You're supposed to hold the left flipper then launch the ball but it launches the ball as soon as you touch the left side of the screen! I still don't like the tilt mechanism in the game. Should have a swipe to tilt option. It looks amazing though! I also encountered the blank icon issue. I Deleted the app and reloaded it and that fixed it.
Is your UI tiny now? Mine is 1/4 the size it should be, like it's hard coded to the old iPad Rez and isn't scaling to the ipad 3. Also how the heck does the skill shot work on MM, it seems Imget it just by pressing the button. -kap
Even more - I don't believe it's possible to launch the catapult, so you just get the default every time. That means Barnyard multiball is impossible, and it's impossible to complete the wizard goals since that is one of them. This was rushed out with little thought it seems.
not true, i launched the catapault and beat all regular goals unlocking wizard goals, barnyard multiball is one of the goals
I clicked yes to restore my tables on my iPad 3 and it seems to have charged me again for Black Hole (I'm 99.9999 sure I bought them all before)...so let me know if anyone else notices this- I didn't get the usual 'you have already purchased this' message. Otherwise they have fixed the scaling problem and we can play the game again.
I don´t like the scrolling camera at Bride of Pinbot. Most of the time, you only see the whole table. The scrolling to the uper parts is far to short. It scrolls only up, when the ball is on the peak of the table. Then switches to the whole table much to early.
Finally ! Bought the table pack and installed on my ipad 2, all seemed okay, did ask for my password a lot of times so i'll check my itunes invoice when i get that in case i've paid duplicate times. Then installed it on my ipod touch 4th gen but have the empty icon issue, game seems to work fine but weird about the icon issue. Glad theres two new tables at last, shame about the bug though
Yes. Same here. Will check my invoice as soon as I have it. No problems with homescreen icon, but UI still tiny (but useable). iPad 3rd gen., 64GB/4G.
Ah. Both flippers at the same time launches the catapult, so yes it can be done. I was thinking it was the launch button. Doh!
Pinball Arcade just gets better and better. So nice to have everything smooth on the iPad 3 now and the 2 new tables are fantastic. I'd never played Bride of Pinbot before but I'm really enjoying it - it's not as complex as some of the more modern tables but it's a lot of fun. Medieval Madness is a true gem - the theme is great and there's so many fun pieces to the table itself. Plus it has voicework done by Tina Fey! Here's an MP3 of an excerpt of her voice-over recording session for anyone interested.
