Best release of Strange Science that I have come across. Flippers allow for tap passes and ramp shots feel just right. Shadows/graphics are beautifully done.

 

The game could look "intimidating,"  but shooting for the ramps with "Spark" lit, loading atoms with the small flipper, followed by the "Release Atom" arrow (left side below Atom Smasher) should light Extra Ball on the center ramp. 

When plunging, shoot for the left hole of the three above the bumpers.

 

Playing on VPX 10.7 Rev. 270.

The vpx conversion is top notch, great work all around (lights, physics...).

Flippers maybe a bit weak ? really hard to say

 

About the pinball table (not the quality of the vpx conversion)

Awesome artworks (both playfield and backglass), love the theme too.

Musics and sounds are objectively very  limited as it's an old  pinball but it suits the theme perfectly so it's good IMO.

Objectively the gorgeous playfield's gameplay is extremely limited in term of shots.

But the single interesting shot (the atom smasher) is hard to make and is a "two times" shots that lead for multiballs.

So it's a great shot that give this table  a ton of characters.

 

Hard and highly enjoyable table with ton of charm.

 

Thank agentEighty6 and everybody involved for your work   !

This is a really cool table, Ive only ever played this machine one time in Pittsburgh. Very well recreated, the look, play and feel of the table are all excellent 5 stars! thanks to all who worked on this.
