[QUOTE="mmmagnetic, post: 12551, member: 558"] Must be a problem on certain Android devices, on my iPad 3 the flippers react crisply and quickly. Maybe an issue with programs running in the background? I've read somewhere that certain software layers can create some lag on Android, whereas the touch input is more direct integrated in iOS. Sorry if that sounds a bit fanboyish, but that just might be an explaination, and very likely device-dependent. I wonder how it runs on the iPad 1, since that thing has so little RAM. On the iPad I can, for instance, nail the ramps in MM perfectly, the game runs at a very smooth framerate (better than the Mac version), multiball is a joy... As much as I love traditonal controls, TPA feels perfect on the iPad to me, especially with the hi res screen and the portrait orientation. I would love to try it on the Kindle Fire, seems like great size as well, as the iPad can get a bit heavy from time to time. And the finger-screen-obscuring isn't a problem at all on the iPad either. For nudging, I've gotten in the habit of grabbing the iPad in the middle and tap the flippers just under the imaginary line where the nudge zone ends, so I can just quickly move the thumbs up for nudging without losing too much time. I'm generally bad at nudging, but I'm learning ;) [/QUOTE]
