[QUOTE="EldarOfSuburbia, post: 223694, member: 4106"] I find playing on a mobile platform much more difficult than on a PC. I very rarely match my best scores on Android vs. PC. I think for a while my best Black Hole score was on Android, but that's about it. I've never been comfortable nudging on Android, no matter what touch scheme I try (and shake or swipe nudging is even worse for me). I know some people use their index fingers to nudge, but I can't manage that, so I rely on my thumbs, and that means moving up from the flipper zones. As a result I only nudge when the ball is far from the flippers. On the PC, I never got the hang of nudging using the keyboard. Again, I could never get keyboard mappings that I was comfortable with. Moving to an X360 controller, and the ability to analog nudge, provided the single biggest boost to my ability to get good scores. I also think having a monitor with 1ms latency helps a great deal when it comes to timing. Having said all that... the one time I participated in a TotM using my tablet, when I was on vacation, I did okay. I don't remember what all the tables in that tournament were (I know two were Ripley's and Diner) and I did pretty well on Ripley's, so perhaps it's a matter of more practice. I tend to play very casually on my tablet, usually when I'm watching TV, or my kids are running around, so I'm not 100% focused on the game. [/QUOTE]
