2 Bugs:
1. No high score on main screen (where it says High Score)
2. App cannot be closed other than by killing.

Beyond that it was OK so far. Made more than a million in my first game and all standard goals.

EDIT: After starting the 3rd time I got the HS and my rank. Probably you must be ranked on the leaderboards first.

I just submitted this to my Mike at FarSight:

Device/OS:
Galaxy S4/Android 4.4.2 KitKat

Bug Description:
Lower level glass reflection remains hindering view of ball in play after losing multiball.

Steps To Reproduce:
1. The user earns multiball.
2. With one ball in the lower playfield and one or more in the upper playfield.
3. The user drains all upper playfield balls leaving one remaining in the lower playfield.
4. The camera zooms in on the last ball in the lower playfield.

Results:
The glass reflection does not drop out making it difficult to see the ball in the lower level

Frequency:
100%

Additional Comments:
1. After downloading and installing all files for the title, the user did not change any settings.
2. The glass reflections drop out appropriately when a single ball traverses between the upper level and into the lower level when not in multiball mode.
3. This bug also occurs if no balls are drained, although the camera has not zoomed in on the lower playfield due to more than one ball being in play. It is still difficult to see the ball in the lower playfield while the glass reflections are visible.

2. When this bug occurs, the camera passes through the entire lower level of the playfield and the user is able to see through various parts of the playfield.
3. Occasionally when this bug occurs, portions of the level will obstruct the user's view of the instructional arrow.

Both issues were in the beta as well [MENTION=2546]Nick Kosmides[/MENTION]. Hopefully [MENTION=4573]Scumble373[/MENTION] can fix in a subsequent patch.

Cool. Now they are logged here. I'll keep my eyes open for more.

Same problem with me: Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini (SCH-I435) / Android 4.4.2

Ghostbusters pinball crashes immediately when pressing play.

For the full Pinball Arcade app, I can load anything from Seasons 1-3, but I get an immediate crash as soon as I press the Season 4 icon.

This is really odd. The only reason I can see the app crashing would be:

A. If you don't have enough space on your device
B. If you don't have a solid internet connection

After you hit the play button, it should start downloading the table.

Thanks Nick! Looking into it now!

Frequency: 100%

Additional Comments: Only solution: Kill the app in the Task Manager

Copy editing nitpick:

When you click the token to add more, the dialog text reads:

"Download the full collection!"

Superfluous "quotes" are a personal "pet peeve" because when you "see them" it feels like the message you're reading is "disingenuous."

See what I "mean?"

Drop the quotes! Nobody is talking, it's not dialog.

Maybe it's a "restaurant" review from ZAGAT.

God, I "find" those reviews "annoying".

B. If you don't have a solid internet connection

After you hit the play button, it should start downloading the table.

I think the network code in Pinball Arcade is just plain buggy as I have had issues downloading tables before on the main app.

I just had this issue on Ghostbusters on my brand new Galaxy Note 4 on Android 4.4.4. Fortunately I found uninstalling and reinstalling the app from Google Play solved it. However its still odd as when I launched the app it complained about Connection Failed but when I pressed OK then play, it downloaded the table and launched fine.

I would much prefer to play this on PC though.

Someone's been screwing with the high score list again... There's at least 3 people at the top who probably shouldn't be.

Really sorry about this guys. We keep taking them down, and they keep putting them up. There's a good chance their accounts will be banned soon.

Thank you!! It's really annoying. Quite frankly I don't understand what these trolls get out of this.

Maybe a way to defeat them would be to allow users to add other users to a local ignore list?

or beef up the leaderboard security code or mechanism used for leaderboards.
