I just bought TPA OSX...

[night]

Oh boy oh boy oh boy.. I bought it. Seriously, you'll get more love from a streethooker than from this sad iOS spinoff.
How do I plunge? I only seem to be able to do this with the mouse? And the flippers, I can only control them with the arrows on
my keyboard? And the menu.... it's horrible. Can't change the scrolling camera into 'locked'! I hate it. Just waisted €8,99 on this.

Plunge - space bar
Flippers - left shift / right shift
Camera lock/unlock - spacebar (during play)

Once the ball is in play, space toggles the camera lock. "/" and "z" are nudge left and right. "a" and " ' " are for special buttons like the magna save on Black Knight.
I always have to play in true fullscreen mode. Otherwise, it plays in slow motion.

You are right, this version could certainly use some attention. There is a section of the options menu that describes the controls, but it's not very clear. We have been pretty much left to figure things out for ourselves and some things remain a mystery.

Hey guys, thanks al lot for your help. Plunge takes a long time when holding the space bar, like it is in slow motion, it goes rapid on my iPad.
Post processing seems to slow things down as well.

I encourage you to get a PS3 controller for playing TPA on the Mac, it's fantastic with precise nudging and no flipper lag (keyboard always has some).

Thanks for the tip!
So far, I prefer playing TPA on the iPad, it somehow gives me more the illusion of actually playing on a pinball machine then with a keyboard and monitor view. TPA OSX looks like a very rushed product with absolute 0 attention to functionality. Do it good or don't do it at all, but do it half-half is something I don't understand. Especially when they charge €9 for it. The games are exactly the same as the iOS version, can't say anything negative about that, it looks just as good as on my iPad minus the functionality.
