[QUOTE="satandouche, post: 248362, member: 5743"] Awesome video showcasing your passing skills. I was able to backhand the ball multiple times in a row to "rock" it hard enough back up the inlane to successfully complete a rail pass, but I couldn't do it consistently on iPad. Might be possible with some practice. Sometimes it backhanded a fair bit back, but on the return it slowly reached the end of the flipper and you had to hit it to avoid draining. Definitely can't backhand it once and complete the rail pass. Just a different game in many aspects on mobile vs other platforms. Not a bad thing except when it limits gameplay - like the mini flipper (or lack of it) in Starship Troopers. Real pinball has so many nuances and every machine has it's own personality that you have to figure out to be successful. Kind of miss that with the apps, but at least you don't have weak flippers to deal with! I'm a goal hunter, but it looks like I may hold the top score on iOS as soon as the leaderboard updates. Got 11mil plus by spamming the 5x and bonus scoop. I'll enjoy that till some lunatic buries my score with a marathon game. Cheers Wizards! [/QUOTE]
