Not as fun as the original. I have way, way too many hours in the original and this one annoys me a bit.<p>- The purple "beam" throws any strategy out the window. Aiming at a specific corner to try to get the stream into a loop or something is almost completely mitigated by the purple beam and it's a toss up what the bricks will look like before any balls are actually shot<p>- The patterns are so thin and erratic that finding good places to make loops is annoyingly difficult. My runs on average hit maybe 10 times. With a skilled enough shot, it should be one or two orders of magnitude more than that.<p>- The aiming angle is min'd out at what looks like 30 degrees or so, making dire life saving shots impossible.
