– Authors Map Description –
He stands like a statue, Becomes part of the machine
Feeling all the bumpers, Always playing clean
He plays by intuition, The digit counters fall
That deaf dumb and blind kid
Sure plays a mean pin ball!
(from the rock opera "Tommy" by the Who)

This map was fun to make. It was a team effort.
– ACE® came up with the idea, suggested and tested
– Grimlar provided the Heavy10 and the transform events the map uses ( the icing on this cake )
~~~~ Thank you, both, for your valuable contributions. Thank you to McB for testing this on a low end computer ~~~~ 🙂
The map is challenging but not overly so …… as the challenge in pinball is to achieve the highest score.
If you must leave the map midstream in a game, save it between the waves when there is few aliens on the map ( the map file size is flirting with the upper limit ).
After playing it a few times, i found it gave great DG2 game play ( lots of aliens and towers ) ………. but didn’t have the feel of a pinball table. So, i made the 2 silverball modes to try to get closer to the pinball feeling. The waves are longer, the aliens are stronger but there is less aliens on the map at one time. There is also less resources to work with.

modes
– story: ………………………. – 30 waves for practice, and to try out paths, scores not saved
– story leaderboard:… – 30 waves of assorted aliens, same as above only scores are saved to the leader board
– grinder: …………………. – 100 waves of walkers with boss last wave
– silverball: ……………….. – fewer waves, fewer aliens and resources – 10 waves of Rumblers with Juggs, Turtles and Crashers
– super grinder: ……….. -100 large waves of assorted aliens
– super silverball: ……. – fewer waves, aliens, and resources – 30 waves of Rumblers with Juggs, Turtles and Crashers
– Heavy10: ……………….. – 10 very large waves of mixed aliens – bigger and badder than the usual super grinder
enjoy!
I keep coming back to this one. It is amazing! Perfect!
There are many path variations and the modes are fitted to the pinball theme.
One of the best, ever!
Madness!
So many paths to chose!
And some surprises. 🙂
And so many different modes, each with new challenges! 🙂
Razcle, is there a safe way to donate for you?
– i am flattered …… i really am 🙂
– but i have not thought to receive $ for the maps …… “forever free”…..
– a donation to the dg2freemaps web site might be of greater value, as it would keep the site open for the sharing of maps and maybe encourage new map makers. ( theWatcher Donuts has been wanting to do an upgrade )
– payment, in the form of feedback and appreciative comments on a map, provides nourishment and does mean a lot to me
Epic map! Very well designed and a very well idea, thanx a lot!

WOW!!!!!
Please quit your day job 🙂
