Shoot shots for skill shot. Oh my god. Shoot again. Well, if you can't get out of it, get into it. Oh, whatever. [Music]

All right. So, it's bright spell Pandora for super jackpot. Okay, so I need to do everything all over again. [Music] Eclipse jackpot is lit. [Music] Warning. [Music] Okay. So, upper right loop to left. Ah. [Music] Oh, there's a lot of information here. Okay. Shoot. Upper left round. All right. Yeah, that was all right. That was a a wing multi or wizard mode, I guess. Sweet. But I did not manage to get to the next phase there. Yeah. The thing is the look at the camera. It's just like what are you looking at? That particular shot like in the uh outer outer right orbit game over is uh very narrow. You almost like it feels easier to kind of get it on like you kind of have a nice roll in the in lane and you kind of use that velocity to kind of like flip earlier on the flipper to the so the shot kind of feels wider which it yeah it's not wider but it just feels easier. Shooting it from a trap is really difficult and I think it's the same with the left orbit as well. It's just like every shot is like very tight. That's uh that's for sure. The only thing that is kind of wide, you know, is like the dive shot is wide and the the weird back ramp that kind of goes uh that is probably that is meant for the upper flipper really that is easy to hit as well. But uh other than that is there's a lot of tricky shots on this game. So, all right. Uh yeah, I'm I'm sweating like an absolute pig right now and uh I I need to get out of here. Uh but it was super fun to play this game and get as far as I got and figured out a few things here and there and um yeah, there will be plenty of more Avatar streams to come for sure. So,
