    iOS v1.2.2 Landscape-based everything.

    An easy fix for this is to simply not rotate your device into landscape mode to use the menu interface. Just turn your head to the side when selecting the table. The table will start in portrait mode if your device is in portrait mode when you launch it.

    Idea: use credits for leader board entry

    Here's an idea to add some excitement to the leaderboards: what if you could only post a high score if you get it with an earned credit? You'd have to win a replay, match or special first, and then that game could qualify for a leaderboard score. This would give some use to credits, and add an...

    Bug Right Ramp scores Spiral shots

    On further investigation, it seems that the ramp helper diverter throws the ball too far back when it drops it into the left orbit. It rolls up towards the magnet and triggers the opto switch. Not sure if this happens on any real TZ but it's plausible. And it does not score spiral breakthrus...

    Is the camera shot too hard?

    I think the camera shot is a little harder than on a real TZ, because the "Shoot Here to Load Gumball When Lit" sign blocks your view of the ball coming down the right orbit. On a real table you can shift your view easily, which gives you more time to set up Camera shots (especially when Camera...

    New hotness on iOS & Android: Revenge of the Rob-o-Bot

    It only exists on real tables with broken flippers. Flippers have two coils for motion: a high-powered coil (which makes the initial flip) and a low-powered coil (which holds a raised flipper in place). The high-powered coil activates only briefly when you press the flipper button; the low-power...

    BUG: LIZ high score not saved

    So how does Farsight manage to save the regular high scores? Do they just keep a copy of a small part of the RAM? If so, it shouldn't be a great leap to also do it for these secondary high scores and achievements.

    Bug Very Hard Shots to Camera Can Sometimes Load the Gumball Machine

    I think this is the same bug that causes shots to the Camera to fail sometimes. You don't get the Camera award or a lit Jet Bumper; the ball just ejects unceremoniously from the Slot scoop. (The Gumball does not load.) This happens for about 25% of Camera shots for me.

    Twilight Zone is here!

    Hey Rob! Great job on TZ, really enjoying it so far. Plays great. Only real problems I've noticed so far is that the powerball doesn't have a different texture unless you use a custom ball skin, and it doesn't have noticeably different physics (other than not being affected by magnets). Seems...

    TZ is up.. (1.2.1 Feedback and Discussion)

    Same thing here. But if you change the skins of the standard balls in the Extras menu (which is fun, and works great) the Powerball then appears white. Of more concern is the fact that the physics of the Powerball, other than not responding to magnets, is the same as for the steel balls. At...

    TZ is up.. (1.2.1 Feedback and Discussion)

    Having the same troubles in. Kicked in $100, but logged out and into my Farsight account, but no free TZ for me. Now I can't log in at all ("login failure"), presumably because the Farsight servers are overloaded.

    iOS - Bug Quitting with Wheel Spinning May Misalign Wheel Awards Next Game

    Ah! This might explain why the wheel awards never match what the wheel shows for me. (I often quit and restart if the first ball doesn't go we'll.)

    Bug Drop Targets Not Resetting + No End of Ball Bonus

    Hmm, if it's only happening on Ball 1, does it ever happen if you quit from the table first? The last iOS version had issues where if you started another game immediately after a previous one, the table would be in a strange state. (You'd get 2 balls in the plunger for NGG, for example.) Perhaps...

    Scared Stiff Tactics and Strategies

    Great description, thanks! The one thing I'd add is that if Spin Spider is lit at the Spider Hole, it's worth going for it from the skill shot instead of the usual Dagger skill shot. (Pull the plunger slightly short of halfway and it will land in the spider hole; if you miss on the short side...

    Exactly. The bug still exists in 1.2.0, by the way.
