Klasse Flipper Groni, gute Arbeit, lässt sich super spielen! Erinnert mich an die Zeit als noch in jeder Kneipe mindestens ein Flipper stand! Danke!

Fantastic table, amazing sounds and physics.
I have some small problem with the reel credit light.
Why don't you use light instead of reel? (only suggestion)

Cause Reels are easier to handle and to create. Seems like you have a general problem
with using Reels on your System. The Plunger Graphic is also hidden.
Don´t know what kind of problem this is.

Thanks for the update Groni. Downloading now.

Just played a few games on it. It plays really well. I like the new sounds, And I love how you did the Flyer and rules. I hope to see you do more like this in your future tables.

Hi Groni,

Some comments on your new release.

- Overall, plays freakin fantastic. Just a great fun.
- The sounds are indeed pretty freakin' awesome.
- One possible little tweak required. Once the ball went through the kicker lane and even if it was lit, it didn't kick back. I noticed though the ball had sort of gone left/right quickly at the top of the lane which ended up slowing it down quite a bit, so maybe because it was going so slow, the trigger enabled the kicker but the ball wasn't there yet so the ball just drained. If so, this is probably not a bug, I think the same thing happened with my real firepower once but I thought I would mention it.
- Although I've had a couple of 200K-300K games, the game is tough and that's just how I like it!
- Only possible negative is the nudging. For some reason, whether I nudge left or right, it doesn't seem to move the ball in the direction I want, seems more random and the nudging effect seems more straight up whether I nudge left-right, but then other times it does seem to work. Maybe it's because it's 1:00am here . Anyway, This isn't necessarily bad, just different at this stage and I'll admit it feels more random. Whether that's a plus or minus will take more playtime to determine. On the other hand, it makes the game less predictable so that's a plus.

Many thanks again, this is a beauty and surely does take me back.
