RickR Posted July 4, 2022 Report Share Posted July 4, 2022 I assume we are all playing on the Classic controller. It's pretty awesome, but they really need to make it a little bit more sensitive. It takes some getting used to and a lot of turning to make it end to end. Stlrs95 and Sabertooth 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me it’s clunky. Like you said the amount of turning to go end to end. I switched recently to the modern controller and that takes a lot of getting used to as well.

Stlrs95 Posted July 4, 2022 Report Share Posted July 4, 2022 This game is torture! Whenever I play my nose or something on my face starts itching. Having to fight the urge not scratch and keep track of that ball is just plain torture!!! Haha It’s probably just in my head but it’s there damnit.

Add in my phone buzzing or my wife asking me this or that and it's hard to get in the zone. Sabertooth and D.joe 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabertooth Posted July 4, 2022 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2022 (edited) Agree this game would greatly benefit from sensitivity adjustment settings. ThrustLander and Atari VCS Vault have it. I also think the wide-screen orientation is part of the issue. The travel distance from one side to the other is just a little too far in a single turn. @LinkYoungPS- have you tried this with your paddle topper? Those look pretty neat. Any improvements to the feel of paddle games using it? Edited July 4, 2022 by Sabertooth RickR 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkies TV Posted July 12, 2022 Report Share Posted July 12, 2022 Thanks! I've been finding that even though we start with 3 balls, once I lose the first one, the rest follow pretty quickly. Anybody else's games end up that way? RickR, Stlrs95 and Sabertooth 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also find with these recharged games I usually do my best within the first few days. I just can't seem to improve on my score. 😕 What's with all the removed posts?

I wish it would let you take a break and wait until you press the button to serve each ball. Because I have the same issue as you. I have a lot of trouble with those levels that have the bricks that shoot every time you pass by and almost always lose it all there. But the biggest detriment I'm finding in this game are wonky controls. Sometimes, for no reason I've found, my paddle will just move to the center of the screen. Maybe I'm pressing in on the joystick or something by accident? Very frustrating. Stlrs95 and Sabertooth 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the push button to serve idea, I would even take a countdown like 3...2...1 and then the ball serves. I do find that my paddle will move half way across the screen at random times. Yes, very frustrating especially when you have a nice run going. I love the game though, even with some of these flaws.

Sabertooth Posted July 12, 2022 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2022 I definitely tend to lose my balls in a row since the bricks reset midscreen with each loss. Some of the later boards are very challenging to come back from with the bottom row set low. I also occasionally have wonky paddle control.

Sabertooth Posted July 17, 2022 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2022 17,350 with the Classic. I had 4 balls at 16K and lost them all in rapid succession. I think I was too eager to take the lead. Still a few hundred behind @Yorkies TV ! RickR, Yorkies TV and Marco1019 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkies TV Posted July 18, 2022 Report Share Posted July 18, 2022 Sabertooth! You've got me nervous! For me it's all about how good that first ball is. After I lose that, and the blocks reset and are low with those shooting blocks, I know I'm in real trouble then. Sabertooth 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mockduck Posted July 19, 2022 Report Share Posted July 19, 2022 A bit better score, I feel like I should be able to get much higher but the speed above 8k gets intense: Marco1019 and Sabertooth 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
