Starship Troopers mini-flipper bug (pun unavoidable)

[MOO]

Can't seem to get the mini-flipper to do anything at all.
Just me?

Have you tried to move it? and on what device?

By "move it", do you mean hit the orange button? If so, yes, if no, I'm not sure I understand what you mean.

On iOS you can change the position of the button on the screen. If you can on android, try moving it up or down and see if it works.

UPDATE

Just tried a full plunge (for ramp skill shot), and the mini-flipper now works when hitting the orange button.
Is there an option to increase the the orange zone?

 

[Kolchak357]

Not that I know of. I keep mine at the top of the flipper zone, just below my nudge areas. But can't change the size of the button.

Oh - the button position % thing in the options.
Hadn't tried that.
Am currently testing full/regular plunging to see if it can be replicated

 

[MOO]

Ok - it continued to work until I exited the app.
Upon re-opening TPA, mini-flipper is refusing to budge again, even with a full plunge.
Will test some more tomorrow and report my findings (it's nearly 2am here now).

I am having the same problem on the Ouya. The flipper only works when it wants to. I have tried the same button on other games to make sure it is not my controller, and it works fine on other games. Maybe a bug that needs to be addressed. But other than that, the game is kick ass

Works about around an average 60% of the time for me.

After some further testing of my own, I have come back to post exactly this.

Fresh starting the app 5 times caused the mini-flipper to be completely unresponsive 3 times WHEN PLAYING ST FIRST. Quitting table, starting a random game on a different table, then returning to ST reliably activates the mini-flipper.
On two occasions though, the mini-flipper worked normally following a fresh start, and playing ST first.

Once it is working, it does seem to continue to work normally until the app is closed.

I will continue to monitor it and post my observations

So does it work initially then fails during gameplay?
