[QUOTE="Gorgias32, post: 291753, member: 5914"] First impressions on Android - I am playing these in the time-limited challenge CV: so much nicer and more realistic than TPA version. The shots feel good, and the outlanes are not horribly unfair. It seems like the Sideshow is not randomized, it has always started with "popcorn mania" - this is probably due to the the same ROM-reset behavior we've seen on other tables like Champion Pub. TotAN: beautiful, and the super-narrow railroad shots (specifically the Harem loop shot on the left, and any of the loop shots on the right) from TPA are now aimable and hittable. On the other hand, the main ramp is now fairly hard to get all the way up, it's like the jackpot on Creature - you have to hit it perfectly and then it JUST ekes up to the fireball ring. It's entirely possible this is how the real table plays, I have not seen this one in real life. I've had SDTM drains from the Genie magnet area a few times, possibly nudging would help, and once again this may also be real-table behavior. I have had a lot of trouble so far (this morning) getting through the "score limits" challenge; at the start of a game there are just not that many high-scoring things to do that you can get going in less than 60 seconds. My strategy (after probably an hour of banging away and not being able to get past 3 or 4 star level) is now to try to light the "Make a Wish" and then pick "3x Lamp Scoring" - a few good hits on the lamp (which is way harder to accomplish in Zen than it is in TPA) can close out the challenge pretty quickly. NGG: still having trouble getting the feel for this. It seems like on Android it's not possible to get up the ramp from the plunger - too weak. This may be okay since you should be going for the skill shot anyway, but it's something that may be tweaked. I can't seem to get dialed in on the side flipper shot. Speed of the table is good. I need to spend more time with it. [/QUOTE]
