[QUOTE="David Smith, post: 25678, member: 57"] This is a pretty easy game to get 1,000 GameCenter points on. There are only three shots you need to know: * [B]LEFT LOOP[/B]: At the beginning of [I]every[/I] ball, aim for the left loop (between the Shuttle Ramp and the Heartbeat Ramp). Your goal is to get the Extra Ball, awarded for four shots in quick succession to the left loop. You can get one extra ball this way, every ball. It's not too hard: after the skill shot, let the ball come out of the jets and bounce from the right to the left flipper. You can hit the left loop safely from a cradled or slow ball on the left flipper. You can also make the shot easily from the right flipper. Keep shooting it until you get the extra ball. With this technique, you replace every lost ball with an extra ball, so you can basically play indefinitely. Even if you miss and drain a few times before collecting the EB, PinBot extra balls will keep you going. * [B]SHUTTLE RAMP[/B]: After you've collected the Left Loop EB, keep shooting the Shuttle Ramp to Activate Voice, Activate Optics, start multiball, and spin the Big Wheel. It's an easy shot from the right flipper. If you have the ball on the left flipper, use the Heartbeat Ramp to transfer it. Some shots won't lock a ball in the face, but will go straight through to the PinBot mini-playfield. That's fine -- every seventh shot there awards an extra ball, which will further help you keep playing indefinitely. (Tip: you can only have 4 (I think) EBs in reserve at one time, and PinBot will fail to award its usual EB if you have too many stacked up. You might want to avoid the shot in that case.) Your goal is to get Metamorphosis (the fourth face) and lock two balls via the Shuttle Ramp to spin the Big Wheel. You're hoping for the Billion award, which is key to high scores on this game. TIP: use the kickouts from the face to collect lit extra balls at the left inlane. * [B]HEARTBEAT RAMP[/B]: If the Big Wheel does award Billion, shoot the Heartbeat Ramp immediately to collect it. It's pretty easy. There's no need to shoot any of the other shots. Avoid the Small Wheel lane: the awards aren't worth the risk and jackpots are a joke. No need to shoot for the jets or the right loop at any time. I used this technique to play a 2-hour game, scoring 9.385 billion and 1,000 Hall of Fame points. And that's with only eight billion shots -- all those extra balls make it possible to score an "organic" billion, with 5M+ skill shots becoming routine. (It's easy to get the skill shot multiplier above 30x - it only resets twice a game, when the ball-in-play counter increments.) [/QUOTE]
