Rob Zombie Revision 20 #TheresTheCode

A Rob Zombie code update dropped on June 30th. So that means I need to give the game a second chance. My first real impression of the game was not positive in general. However, a few of the game design choices that disappointed me have been addressed according the long update specifications below.

Examples:

the game not showing your your score for long stretches of time
the game not showing you how much each jackpot shot is worth and what it is worth now.
The fact that it’s more efficient to just bash the two stand-up targets and keep adding balls instead of starting modes

However:

Can it fix the fact that left orbit shot might not start a mode when it’s lit and you shoot it? Many times the mode start was lit, the shot was made, but the ball kept going and went out the other side.

I understand the game is supposed to be difficult because METTTTAAAALLLLL!!! and that’s fine. But, the things I’ve mentioned don’t talk about difficulty.
