Thanks John! Appreciate it! Thanks for the playtesting as well. You are appreciated :)

Also thanx to Grizz at VPF for the playfield and plastics redraws and fixes!

Enjoy the game folks. If you have time, PLEASE VOTE at VPF for the game. Have I missed something? Do I need to keep something out in a next release table? I need to know. OR please post below and tell me. Thanx! If people refuse to tell me what I need to add or remove in the future, how can I make better games?

For the three guys who voted for my Skykings release (Iouhaven, Deep Stuff and Bolt ONLY) they get a VERY SPECIAL flipperless table release that will not be released to the public! They have kindly taken a few seconds out of their time to repsond about the game and even posted about it at VPF. Thanks guys and for that I want to thank you too! Even a few folks over here at PN get the game since they posted about my Skykings release. Thanks everyone who responded.
Folks over here that get the new game are tiltjlp (for playtesting my work) and Clyde (for his responses to Skykings).

I also forgot Neo! Sorry Neo, you'll get the flipperless WIP as well! :)

Thanks for another EXCELLENT table! It looks & plays great.

Nice work Will. Looks and plays great.

I need to get better at letting folks know what I think of their work. It's something I've tried to work on lately. As far as I can tell, I haven't come across any major issues as of yet. I like that this and Skykings both keep track of the player's high score. Showing the backbox when you start the table's a nice touch.

Thanks Neo!

Actually, this has been done in Compufox' Vampire table. I took it from that and just implemented it into Skykings and Pro Pool - just a bit differently.

Enjoy the game.

VERSION 1.1 for VP 9 is coming soon! TONS of fixes and the highscore saving is really fixed!

Thanks to Sabbat for all the info and rules updates!

Watch for it - playtesting as of right now!

- FIXES AS OF 2/21/11: (special thanx to Sabbat Moon for this info!)
- 1,000 Thumper bumper always on and scoring.
- Center Targets AND Side Lanes ALWAYS score 1,000 points when NOT LIT.
- 8 Ball Trigger at top gives 500 points when NOT LIT.
- Add A Balls ARE UNLIMITED.
- TILT is much tougher! (this is no joke, I have tilted quite a few times!)
- Flippers are weaker like the REAL game. Added "buzz" sounds to flippers for realism.
- Table slope is like the real game and is NOT EASY.

ALSO ADDED: FOR VERSION 1.2 VP 9

(thanks to rosve for the video of his 2 player Pro Pool called "Big Shot")!

WOW lights at the alleys alternate back and forth with the ball hitting the slingshots. If a side is lit, you'll gain an add a ball. If a side is unlit, you'll gain 1,000 points.

Once WOW is activated via the drop targets for the center WOW lights, these in turn will alternate back and forth OPPOSITE of the WOW alley lights! Works the same way as above.

Flippers are weaker; if the ball goes to the end of the flipper and you try to flip the ball, you'll not get very far! Keep the ball closer to the middle or upper part of the flipper for more power. Added a "buzz" sound to the flippers for more realism.

The tilt is unforgiving. I've tilted on numerous occasions. It's no joke now!

Table slope is much tougher. The ball behaves like a REAL pinball machine! You'll need fast nudge and flipper fingers to keep that ball active and in play!

Did I mention Add a Balls are UNLIMITED? After ball 5, you can play forever as long as you keep those add a balls going!

There is more that has been done. Update V 1.2 for VP9 is coming. Stay tuned!

Version 1.2 is now available, and seems much tougher than before. Plays too quick for my slow reflexes.
