Ahoy fellow Pinball Lovers!
What's new
A new and colorful UI, the pause screen now displays the main missions' progress and more stats than ever. The Kraken shows it's true tentacles. New and improved portrait cameras and settings. Oh, and you'll be happy to know that the Adventures are now a bit easier to reach.

- Windows desktop display orientation can now be set for the duration of the game via command line arguments (Properties/Set Launch Options...) e.g.

- command line options for Player Count 1-4 (-Players 3) and Game Style (-PureAction 0)

- Online System to support current and upcoming features
- EULA and Privacy Policy are now presented on the first game start in addition to the already existing confirmation dialog before the game's installation which is presented by the steam client
- feedback: you can now message us directly from within the game, which is especially useful for bug reports as this will transmit some debug information (e.g. ball states). This is currently one way, so if you want a reply please use the other support channels, too.
- fixed: Buccaneer Frenzy achievement
- fix: using Alt+Enter to switch from windowed to fullscreen will now use only valid resolutions as fullscreen resolution
- fix: the available resolutions are now always properly detected when using multi monitor setups with different diplays
