Agreed... Big disappointment when I got powerball and then it was not a ceramic colored ball and really did not play like one.

It's gotta be a bug and I suspect (hope!) that it's fixed in the next update. When I have the other balls skinned, the Powerball is semi-transparent!
I'm on an iPad 1. I don't know if it's different on later iPads, as they use a shiny ball rather than the dull grey one I get.

I know. I thought, wtf. Where is the powerball? Then someone said there were skins. I turned on the 8ball skins and sure enough the powerball was there. Buggy, but glad it is out. Now just fix the powerball. And make it more difficult like the real table.

Speaking of ball skins, does anyone have access to the special TZ ball, or is that not released yet? I have custom ball options, but none of them look like anything I'd associate with Twilight Zone.

Wierd that exactlt this feture on this machine is not properly tested.
But ok, we know the route now. Will be fixed, no worries.

Got the powerball, huge white thing, nothing like the steel balls. I've got the gold skin going on though, is that making the difference?
Nope, got to cater to the "average" player, who needs to make it to the end, otherwise they may fail and feel bad. Dumbing things down so the unskilled can feel good about themselves has become far to prevalent in too many areas. Pinball (especially TZ) should not be one of them.
I discovered that the speaker at an expo I bought tickets to will be none other than Roger Sharpe, the instigator of this travesty. I'll be sure to give him a good cussing out.

For what it's worth, I could see the Powerball even without the ball skins. It looks white and non-metallic. I think it first appeared in the gumball machine, as it often does.
It seemed to move a little faster than the regular ball, but there isn't as huge a difference as on the real table.

No custom ball skin here either.

To access the pinball skins, go into the EXTRAS menu on TZ. There is no special TZ skin, not yet at least. I am assuming one will be released. At least to the $25 tier backers.

The Twilight Zone ball skin is the black and white striped ball which represents the black and white spiral image around the red ball saver lamp between the flippers and the yellow start button on the front of the pinball cabinet.

The powerball starts as default as the 3rd ball in the gumball machine. If you don't quit, the game will remember where the ball location is in consecutive games. You'll need to load the gumball 3 times to get the powerball out.
If you quit (either to main menu, or quit during a game) the ball gets reset to the 3rd location in the gumball machine.
