    Great news with adding Monster Bash soon. I hope we can engage the easter egg " Lyman's Lament " mode. It's hilarious! :)

    With the latest update I had some weird non-responsive flippers on my dad'd ipad 3. Touching the screen would not always register.. sometimes not at all even after tapping the screen many times. Obviously this is a complete show stopper bug.. Didn't try reinstalling it yet but why would I? It was installed for the first time anyhow after the update.

    On my own iPad 1 there is no such issues.. the only problem I noticed is that TOTAN and Rippley's run even slower and choppier than ever before.. Ripley's is unplayable for me at the moment. All the newer tables work fine though.

    Cheers!

    Yup. Bash looks good. Gorgar is crashing for me on every attempt on my 4Gen Touch.

    Of course, we can't expect something not to be fundamentally broken on a PA release. :p

    Not to cut slack but I wonder if it's a memory issue as both the iPod Touch 4G and iPad 1G are in a pretty unique situation of having the higher rez graphics but only 256M of RAM to power them.

    UPDATE: I downloaded the update, downloaded the table, and then gave my system a fresh reboot before starting Gorgar on my iPod Touch 4G. It's working fine for me so far.

    Now graphics looks a bit too dark and I hope they'll brighten up some. Or, I hope they will manage to implement lighting effect of real pinball HD!

    Compare to other tables CV's metal lane seems have very small poligon count.. could it be a bit smoother..

    And now selecting a table in the entire list is getting tedious and we'll need a new interface for that soon.

    Thanks for great work, happy with it, seeing much potential, keep up good work!

    No. Next update is the Game Center update, so you'll have to put with it for another month or so.

    Both new tables working well for me on iPad 2. Only issue I've seen so far is that the sound is pretty quiet on Monster Bash.

    This app is frustrating. They still have problems with the games deciding to zoom into a portion of the playfield for no reason. It's happened to me 3 times in Multiball on Monster Bash. It decides to zoom in on Frankenstein like at the start of that Multiball, but this is in the middle of it with 3 balls in play. Shortly, none. :(

    Well, I downloaded the update this morning...no problems playing the new tables as far as I can see, but now my icon is a white box. Should I just delete and reinstall?

    People love to hate this app, I think.
    Was happy to see the update, downloaded, played last night, everything is running fine and looking great. No probs at all. I'm very happy! Two more reasons to waste hours and hours....

    again a very messy update

    -) german table instructions are missing for both new tables (there are just placeholder texts there - looks like they forgot to put the real text)
    -) Gorgar leaderboards are mixed up with the Monster Bash leaderboards and since you score much higher in Monster Bash you won't see your Gorgar highscores at all
    -) a camera bug during multiball in Monster Bash (camera moves to the upper part of the table for no reason and stays there until you lose all the balls)

    seriously fairsight, maybe some testing before releasing wouldn't hurt, most of the problems pop up after a few minutes of playing

    greetings

    Doesn't putting the camera on fixed at least solve the issue in the meantime?

    Nope. I always use a fixed camera, and still it does this to me.

    Nice surprise getting those two new tables. Getting quite a collection now

    Just wish that bug with the icon turning white didn't happen everytime I update!
