[QUOTE="FurVid, post: 11765, member: 19"] Actually, I just tried a game on my iPod, and found I like it better than the iPad since I can sometimes get it to nudge. On iOS, the only option that seems to work is swiping, and that requires reaching to the to the top of the screen - easy to do quickly on a smaller screen. iPad nudging would probably work better if they moved the swipe area much lower. Anyway, seems like the best way to avoid the outlanes is to try to mostly stay on the left side of the playfield - hit the drop targets and snake pit a lot and the capture hole. In PHOF it was fairly easy to repeatedly hit the capture hole and then catch it again on the right flipper, often triggering the inlane switch in the process (which helps toward the 1-2-3-4 special wizard goal). That seems harder in this version, though at this point I can't say if it's because the physics have changed or I just haven't found the rhythm. From left flipper, I usually try to pull it and bring the ball back to the upper left. Later when the spinner (which on my small screen seems to have a squatting spiderman on it) is lit, I'll go for that to get more points and bonus multiplier. Usually don't aim at 1-2-3-4 spots until later when close to getting the special. Looks like it'll be a fun table on the small screen. Black Hole is, as well. It'll be nice when more of these older less-cluttered tables are available. [/QUOTE]
