Wow, such boring and easy. Many of you folks warned us, though. At least it's pretty. And has a rap-song soundtrack. Xenon is a trivially easy pick for worst table of Season 4 so far.
My opinion is that it's a useless gimmick. It doesn't have anything to do with real physics. I don't hate it, but I'd prefer that no more tables have 3.0, or at least that there be an option to choose.
Xenon does play more like a table of its era is supposed to play. I don't know how to...

The image files were broken on the one I viewed, though.
Are you including unlicensed DMDs in prediction 1? :) AKA: Safe Cracker, Hurricane, Checkpoint, Striker Xtreme, Wipe Out, Gladiators, and World Challenge Soccer, and I think that's all of the remaining unlicensed DMD production tables from the major manufacturers.
I predict HS2 or an...
1. Transporter: The Rescue
2. Swords of Fury
3. Grand Lizard
4. Millionaire
5. Rollergames
6. Road Kings
7. Space Station

Next to next to last: Bad Cats
Next to last: Police Force
Last: Mousin' Around
I would bet a little bit on Gladiators, or more likely Wipe Out, or less likely World Challenge Soccer. Those are the three remaining unlicensed DMD Gottliebs. They were/are quite a bit lesser hits than CBW and Tee'd Off though, in production and IPDb rating, so I don't know. All TPA tables...
I would be very excited to see Swords of Fury. I would be super duper excited to see another Stern similar to the F2K vintage. And like very many people, I would be ultra mega extreme excited if TPA made Pinball Circus, at least if it were playable and the rules are not a tremendous letdown...

Congrats!
I'll play it again... in one year. A great thing about TPA now that it has >50 tables, there is always a table I haven't played (seriously) in a year.
The yellow drops are indeed yellow on the real thing. The playfield looks the same to me except the three lights that look red on...
I play on PC with keyboard. I don't know if I can compare to iOS, but the difficulty and all the other stuff seem exactly as you describe. I do nudge for a trap from the L inlane. I did purposely drain 1 of 2 balls often, if I had a few hundred seconds on the timer... well more often if I had...
Wow! This is incredible work. It did take about a minute for mine to load. I look forward to figuring out how you got the .ods to snag the .csv file. An application in a .ods... did not know they were up to this. Super job, Tann!
Most pro tip ever
So before reading this, I had given Goin' Nuts a pretty good try, but maxed out at 3.6M (leaderboard #413), and only 2 of the 5 wizard goals. And I actually like Goin' Nuts a fair bit, more than a few tables in TPA. I don't think I've read its forum, as I like to try to...
I think it's every time you complete all Super Jackpots ("all three stages"), but there may be a max of one EB per ball in play? Anyway, here's a link to Slam23 who talks about this (apparently the TPA rules are wrong?) with excellent Castle MB and other info...
Sorry, I mean directions remain lit in Quick MB, so you can shoot them and the lock will be lit when you're back to 1-ball. I think. I hope I didn't get that wrong.
I get that stacking scores faster, I'm just wondering if it scores more. I tried a little bit to stack yesterday and it seemed...
I have a dumb question: why is this stacking a good thing to do? You don't get any more points from stacking them, over doing them separately, do you? And if you do them separately, you can use the Quick MB to complete the directions (I think), and collect the EBs (which must be done sometime...
