Of course us Palm OS 4.1 users don't get to play it! :-(

anyone played it yet? how is it?

It's OK, but there's one crippling problem: the ball just bounces off of ANYTHING rather than rolling down along it and behaves like it's super-rubber in its physics... makes it kinda painful to play since it's incredibly hard to predict where it's going due to this really weird behavior. If you are about fire your flippers it can bounce off them as they go up and THEN get hit by the flippers making the shot completely different than what you wanted to do. I'm sticking with Bump Attack.

I sat down and played it for about 20 minutes. I noticed the physics were off too. I hit the demo max score (200k) a couple times but never once made it into those top 2 areas on the screen. I find it really annoying that so much of the gameplay is in that one small main area.

This are my complaints with pinballz2:
1. pinballz (version1) was really great. pinballz2 is hires but not hires+.
2. The gameplay is o.k., but has not improved (maybe a bit more rubberlike ball behavior)
3. Much of the screen is hidden by the rarely used upper two small fields. Wouldn´t it be a good idea if there was only an "exit" or door on the main screen and if you go through that doors with the ball, the screen switches to one of the "extra.screens"?
4. I am waiting for the version with clie-sounds. The current version has poor sounds (on a clie).
On a scale from 1 (very good) to 6 (very bad) i would rate it a 2- at the moment.
Please don´t misunterstand me. I don´t want to belittle Jasons work. It is pretty cool software though. I just want to point out some things to improve in my opinion!
