That's about right for 3 seasons, if the going rate is still $29.99 for each season (about £19) , and that should still be the case once Season 5 starts up later this month.

Last year I managed to get Season 4 free thanks to that sweet virtual Amazon currency I was saving up from downloading free apps and games that had coins attached to them :lol:

Bear in mind thats £8 for the base game and £32 for each season on top. That's about $48 a season.

Oh, that's rough. The non-sale prices seemed pretty high, and I agree that it would impact my choice to buy in. Hopefully they'll go on sale there too before long!

So where do we stand on bang backs and death saves (I only knew about the 1st ones, although I didn't know they were called bang backs. I still don't know exactly how a death save would be possible without tilting)?

I can sometimes pull off bang backs on some tables, haven't tried on TOTAN though.

I dont think you can bangback or death save on pinball arcade. Death saves require you to physically move the machine, and the tilt sensor in it is way to sensitive for bangbacks.

I got the camel race last night on TOTAN, came in first to boot. Ack was on chat with me when I did it there was much excitement. Then I realized I still have never gotten the Harem multiball on my PC version, but that's ok, now I know how I want to play the camel race going forward. Right under 15 mil on that run but I was going for Camel Race - I was one jewel away from rescuing the princess though.

I have trouble breaking 50 mil in TOTAN, Exed, any pointers?

That's awesome - I always play straight up, but only because I don't know how to use the tilt. If I could pull magic like that, I totally would.

I just banged out a 88,864,640 score on TOTAN on iOS - my all-time high (previous was 83M on Vita).

First time I had ever rescued the princess AND finally got the Harem multi-ball.

Then I went ahead and bought all of Season 1 on iOS (50% off sale = steal) so if anyone else uses that, I'd love to add you to whatever the friends list is for score comparison.

I've not played TOTAN yet. :oops:

Being the table everyone has just for getting the app, I guess I better get to that. I've just been trying to clear various annoying goals, for example Big Shot's "Get 42,000 Bonus" and Goin Nuts "Get 180 seconds on timer", ugh.

Anyone have any nudging best practices on iOS? That's the one thing the controller is great for - little nudge on the sticks while using the triggers gives you nice control. Here your thumbs are almost on top of the flippers so its harder to pull off.
