high confidence · Keith directly states 'There are at least three more, I believe. Maybe more' regarding secret skill shots beyond the standard three-way
The code shown is the newest revision but not the release code
high confidence · Hosts explicitly state 'It is not the release code' twice and refer to it as 'double secret code revision'
Perks earned from captured dinosaurs carry over for the entire game and do not reset between balls
high confidence · Keith confirms 'Perks are for the entire game' and 'That stays your entire game. That does not go away'
Amber value accumulated from bumper hits carries over the entire game and does not reset at ball start
high confidence · Keith states 'that value carries over the entire game' in response to whether amber resets at ball start
The King of the Island wizard mode is a switch-hit multiball where jackpot multipliers progress from 1X to 2X to 3X based on shots hit
high confidence · Keith demonstrates the mode mechanics and explains 'Once I hit it, it is locked in at blue, which means it is a 1X jackpot'
Spinosaurus is the only dinosaur that can traverse across the entire playfield from side to side
high confidence · Keith states 'This is the only dinosaur that can do so' regarding Spinosaurus's ability to wrap around the playfield
There is a new tower combo feature (left loop to tower) that provides triple tower shot plus 2X progress towards the next tower
high confidence · Keith introduces feature as 'new in the last release is a tower combo which is a left loop to tower'
T-Rex perk grants permanent +8 second timers to all modes and multiball ball savers
high confidence · Keith explains 'his main perk is the plus eight-second timers. Now, this applies to all modes and all multiball ball safers'
“The secret to the secret skill shots, as it were, was a short plunge. And... once you short plunge, you're locked into the three-way skill shot.”
Keith Elwin@ 5:23 — Establishes core strategy distinction between skill shot paths
“Perks are for the entire game. All right, so now we're back in the paddock mode.”
Keith Elwin@ 13:30 — Clarifies permanent vs. temporary scoring mechanics
“Once you start getting up in the 20, 30 rescue streets, these points are huge. And even more so if you capture the break-through store, because that perk further boosts that value.”
Keith Elwin@ 9:38 — Highlights rescue streak multiplier scaling strategy
“So your rescue streak is in extreme Jack Danger here. So you're saying, well, why would I even bother then? Well, because he also comes with some nice perks.”
Keith Elwin@ 28:12 — Illustrates risk-reward decision-making in paddock selection
“This is the only dinosaur that can do so. [Spinosaurus traversing playfield] Yeah, so if he's at the helipad and there's a guy here, That's his next his next meal.”
Keith Elwin@ 31:20 — Explains unique Spinosaurus mechanic and threat model
“If you shot the spinner, would that apply to the spinner value and the rust? No, it applies to these jackpots. The jackpot's built via the spinner.”

community_signal: Dead Flip utilizing rules overview format with chat interaction, close-up camera work, and Q&A structure to educate community on complex game mechanics
high · Hosts invite chat questions throughout ('feel free to ask me questions while I'm doing this'), use multiple camera angles including playfield direct capture, and explicitly address community confusion points
product_concern: Pre-release code iteration with mechanics refinement; fourth control room lighting method (15 tower hits) noted as 'isn't in yet'
high · Keith explicitly states code is not release version and references incomplete features: 'that fourth mode isn't in yet so that doesn't do much'
product_strategy: New tower combo feature (left loop to tower) recently added in latest code revision with planned future integration into game progression
high · Keith states 'new in the last release is a tower combo which is a left loop to tower' and mentions 'the plans we have for that, that'll be really important'

Keith Elwin@ 39:56 — Explains Raptor Multiball timer reset strategy
“If you have all six balls in play that's 6x times whatever I hit. So this will essentially be a 12x Super jackpot. 18X.”
