TL;DR

IE Pinball streams Dune v2025.08.01 with new Battle of Arrakeen wizard mode and expanded callouts.

Summary

IE Pinball streams gameplay of Dune pinball v2025.08.01, showcasing new code updates including Battle of Arrakeen wizard mode, expanded callouts, new mystery awards, modified worm mechanics requiring continuous target hits for edge positioning, super spinner features, and multiple mini wizard modes still in development. The stream demonstrates core gameplay loops: spelling DUNE to qualify wizard modes, snorkel ball saves, harvester battles with laser guns, spice collection, and multiball stacking mechanics.

Key Claims

  • Four different wizard modes are available in Dune, requiring four separate DUNE spellings to access all of them

    high confidence · You're going to have to do it four times to get all the different wizard modes.

  • New worm mechanic requires continuous hitting of targets to move it to edges (1x, 2x, 3x, 5x progression) rather than single shot movement

    high confidence · Before you would hit one of the targets on the side of the worm and it would move the worm all the way. Now, you have to continually hit the target to get it on the edges.

  • Three additional mini wizard modes are still being developed and not yet added to the game

    high confidence · Based on the inserts, there are three more mini wizard modes to add into it, looks like... Fall of Siege, Thumper, whatever that is. Liberator Ruckus and Voice from the Outer World.

  • Super spinner feature grants spice on every spin when active, newly implemented in this code version

    high confidence · Because I have super spinners. I forgot about that. So if I wasn't in the battle, Super Spinner would Every spin gives me spice.

  • Sand snorkel acts as a one-handed recovery mechanism for left outlane saves

    high confidence · I always want to have a snorkel... light my snorkel. That'll come back... it stays [if drained but not used].

  • Harvester battle values increase with each successive battle (2x multiplier for battle 2 vs battle 1)

    high confidence · The value on these now also increases the further you get. Second battle, second Harvester is worth more. Third all the way up through six.

  • Worm Ride (main theme from Dune film) is the high score initials music

    high confidence · So, Worm Ride, the big track from the movie was added as the uh high score initials.

  • Mystery awards do not stack; players get one per day/night cycle and miss it if they fail the shot

    high confidence · Mystery doesn't stack. So you get one every time for every cycle day night. Um if you miss it, you miss it.

Anyway, let me Welcome to IE Pinball. I just started the uh recording here. So, um we're playing new Dune code today. Hello. Hello, everyone. Yeah, just spell Dune. So easy. That's how you qualify the uh the wizard modes here. Four letters. So, that's you know, you can do four harvester battles. You can just halfway in four modes or a combination. Get some mystery. You know, it's not that bad. You're going to have to do it, it looks like, four times to get all the different wizard modes. And yeah, I'm trying the uh I got tired of the the wireless mic, so I'm trying this one out. So, let me know if this uh sounds off with the game or if if the game's too loud or if I'm too loud. I I tried to balance it like I always do beforehand, but who knows? Um the one in the game right now is Battle of Ericen. Um, I guess I should go over rules as I play this because I haven't I've only done the stream once, right? So, you can pick skill shots with your right flipper. Shoot the ball. Shoot the ball. And as you can hear, there are now a lot more call outs. Um, there are some secret skill shots, and I always go for the secret skill shot that's at the tunnel that's uh behind the side ramp cuz that will increase your production of spicer water. Makes it easier to light. I think it's like two to one versus what it normally is. Happy National Pinball Day. What are you doing? I don't know what I'm doing. How do you qualify? You spell doom. We'll get this one. Hey, game time. All right. So, I guess let's just play and go through things. Um, but if I'm talking about opening stuff, it's Yeah, get that skill shots and then I want to light a snor right away so that I have my out lane save. I always want to have a snork. Always want to have a snor. Spell dune win the game. Exactly. And that was a bad plunge, but no skill shots for me. So, I'm going to light my stork. You change the drops with the right flipper. Um, there. Lit my sto. That's fine. That'll come back. And I'll get a lock for this one. That wasn't right. Go again. You can hear the new call up there, too. Drops not working at ace. What? Drops of all things. All right. All right. So, this is going to load my stork, which is going to give me my uh ball saved it. How can destroy the thopter? So, this is the harvester battle. You are destroying Hearkinins or you're killing hearkenins and destroying the thopters while you try to destroy the harvester. And I try to save my blue that the blue lights are the laz guns and I like to save them for later battles. So I will try to shoot the ramp when that ornithopter comes back around the left ramp cuz I don't want to use up my my las gun. And I can shoot get this spicer on the playfield. I don't have to shoot that thopter either. I could have shot up to the uh harvester and damaged it that way. And there's the first destruction. There's my first letter on Doom. So, you should see this light up once the light show goes away. Gather the dead. We need their water. Check the dead. Feed them to the worm. Feed them to the worm. So, there's my hearkinin that I got during the battle. So, I'm feeding him to the worm. And the value on these now also increases the further you get. Second battle, second harvester is worth more. third all the way up through six. [Music] So now I can hit switches to switch to night and then play mode. So I'm going to go this way so I can light hit a thumper or hit some sort of drop targets. Relight my spinners cuz the spinners are how I get spice or water lit. And I'm always trying to complete those drops because you can stack three sets of items. So right now I have one thumper here and then on the screen you can see it on the screen also. So that one. Nope, that's not the right foot pedal. So on the upper left there. There we go. Thank you. Status. This is a fantastic status. Um and this is also new here. So this light here means it's purple. It doesn't look that purple on screen to me though. Um, that's a mystery award. Vinnie Desert award. So, if I shoot up there and miss, I didn't drain there. So, I'll get a mystery award now. Desert power and jackpot values increased. Excellent. Always want more value. Um, like I said, when I'm on that flipper, I'm always shooting for drops typically, just cuz I want those items, but let's go into a mode right now. So, I missed the shot. I was going for the reverse scoop hit, but there's a front. And this light shows, too, which is great. All right. Um, just need to shoot all the lights. Well, two. Two to start. I always try for this one first. I don't know why you have to hit all of them at some point and it kills me. Anyways, the one on the far right. Whoops. So, one mode failed. I didn't get to the midway point and thus I didn't get a dune letter. Oh, and this is new, too. This is a light show for this. Yes. Do the one off the sling to the scoop from the right flipper. let's get that skill shot here. It will start my multiball though. Or there we go. So you can see it says secret tunnel skill shot made spinners to build more resources. But now since I'm in this phase, drain faster. Drain faster. I want to build my jackpot value here. Desert mouse. You survive and there's call outs. And I'm not building my value very well here. Whatever. And I'm completely missing. That's okay. How disappointing. Exactly. So very disappointing. So I can lock it back in there for another shot at the multiball in the build. I do want my snor though. So I always go for the snort when it's lit. Always lock a ball in there. And now we'll try to lock this ball again. And fail. All right, let's backhand this instead. Still have not played a working Dune. Oh, I didn't think the ace one was down like that. I will uh I'll help help Shane out if I can when I'm there next. All right, so I'm building the value because I'm greedy. What am I up to? 13.3. And that's going to time out really soon, but that's okay. I can now start it. So, it's 16 mil. So, this has changed also since the last time. So, before you would hit one of the targets on the side of the worm and it would move the worm all the way. Now, you have to continually hit the target to get it on the edges. And the edges are worth more. So, it's a 5x jackpot if you get it all the way to the side. Goes one, two, three, five. Jackpot has written. So I I thought I moved it over one. Ah, I didn't want that yet. I want I want to I want to hit that target to try and get it all the way over to the side so I get the 5x. But they still go back if you don't hit it enough. You saw that uh arrow just moved back to the right. So now it's back at home and I still want to go back and I've wasted my STR. This is sacred water. I do have another STL though, which is you can tell by the uh the yellow arrow. All right. Uh let's get that snorke instead to start. All right. That's going to plunge another ball out once it loads. Ah, I got it actually. And now I'm in trouble. I'm bringing I'm being greedy here trying to build to get that jackpot all the way to 5x. Another snark down. I'm out of snarks. Out of snors. So, let's try to get a pedacin going to Oh, and I got that jackpot. Oh, well. All right. So, no 5x this time. Maybe next time. All right. That's going to lock the ball to prep the super phase. So, now I have to There's a bar on the screen. I'm going to bash the ball around and build the super. And you'll also notice while you're well, I can't tell you now, but while I was locked in there, you can't uh progress to Fedaken at all. The lights changed. So, you can't uh you can't add the ball or start that multiball during that. All right. So, now front shot is 2x for the super. Back shot is 1x. So, of course, try the front 105. Not too shabby. Free jackpot there. Oh, my drops are ready to light another Thumper. If I can shoot that last drop. Thumper is the playful multiplier for the game. Nope, that's gone. Okay, I can get that one. Yeah. All right, moving the shots to the right now. Ah, wanted that one. No, that was a bad drain. All right, we'll get back there. We'll get back. All right, back at night. Let's keep going. What else is going here? No word in ETA April 14th. I bet you're pretty I I shouldn't say you're pretty close, but who knows? Um, if I want to relight the multiball, you can see the thumper is now green here. Ah, dang. It's not very green on there. Got the lights on too bright. I got the dune letter for the super. That's right. I forgot about that. That's another way to get the another dune letter. Thank you, Eric. All right. Always going for drops. And I missed another day. Only hit one. All right. There's another las gun. I'm maxed out las guns. Let's get the mystery award. The fourth mystery is an extra ball. Spice field. The maximum capacity is a massive award. Um, so I don't have to worry about getting spikes. So I'm, if you look at the screen again, there's a moon that goes around the top and that tells you your status towards um, day night. So if I hit a spinner, the prophecy is switch over to fulfilled. And now I'm back at night and I can play my next prophecy. So, let's play pro the prophecy and try the back entrance and miss it again. I have no snork. This is not good. Like I said, it wasn't good. All right, paint box time. Put your hand in the box. All right. This is either a one-shot thing or it's terrifying. And it's not a one shot thing. Oh, that might be a good setup. Nope. Nope. Uh-oh. I'm in trouble now. Okay. Survive that. We can get into the mode. And because I hit an orbit, it changed the mode. So now we're on survive instead of ride. Thank you, Vu. That's a new one. I haven't had those in a while, I feel. All right. This mode I'm eliminating shots. So, one shot is right. And whichever direction the shot actually is. A [ __ ] Resurrect. I was going to say whichever way the the shot is, it'll eliminate the shots in the other half. So, you really want to shoot in the center. I need a snorke. I really need a snorke. And I hit the drops which is going to stop me from getting a snorke right now. So, we'll move on. All right. We're down to two shots. That's okay. All right. All right. Back into the scoop. Is that it? Yes, that's a shot. The snark is not new. The snark has been there. All right, so that gives me a dune letter. And now I have four dune letters. Collect the spice jackpot or try for more. We keep going here cuz going for more is 5x that value even without the stork. So this is just ramps for the second phase. Oh, and the other benefit with this uh this mode, if you beat Oh gosh, the perk is a right outlane save, which is very valuable. Oh, so I was going to point out whenever the ball's coming down that ramp, I always try and get the drops to something I don't have. Um, so that if I if they do accidentally hit, which it often does, um, I'll be prepped to collect another item. All right, so wizard mode is lit. Battle of Arane. Let me uh I'm still going to try for the tunnel skill shot. Yeah, this skill shot. This one I like a lot too because it'll light all the spice or water on the playfield. I'm at 100 water right now, so I don't need water. So, if I can do that. And I missed it. I must have just barely grazed the target there. Oh, I should have it here so you can see the light show, too. Get everything with guns off the ground. All right. So, one thing you will not be able to experience are the shaker effects here. The shakers, it's just subtly shaking and going off, which is a really nice touch. It's not like overpowering. So, the idea is you make a shot and then you have to shoot that shot again to collect the value. All right. And you move on. My snorke is dead. And I'm dead. I'm dead. That was fast. All right, we're done. Goodbye. We'll get back there. We'll get back there. That's the thunder from down. It is. It is. And no high score here, so you don't get to hear Worm Ride. So, Worm Ride, the the big track from the movie was added at as the uh high score initials. All right, let's go again. Born of the desert, forged by its fury. Same thing here. And I overplun last and I drained. I didn't hit anything but that. It has returned as written. I see I did hit a drop. So, I do want to hit those. Like I said, I always need STRs. Saw how many STRs I used back to back to back on the last game. Oh goodness. Snor is ready. This world will kill you. You should welcome the drain. [Laughter] Did I earn a cone? Why would Yeah, that deserves a cone, doesn't it? Not bad. Not bad. All right. Uh, we're going straight into the prophecy. Todd, thank you. I appreciate that. Stors always carry over. Well, no. I mean, you have to reload it, but you're uh if you you know, if you drain and you haven't used it, it stays. Yeah, you always have to hit the ramp to load it. [Music] Okay. Still playing Labyrinth. I haven't played too much with this lately. I just haven't had time to play too much at home here. Like I've got Kong here and I still haven't streamed that. Oh no. All right, shoot this to get to the midway point and I miss it again. All right, so two ways I can do this. I can shoot up the middle. I can post fast pass or I can also one thing that's missed a lot, I think, is to shoot the harvester cuz I'll actually stop on the magnets and kind of set up that shot and still miss it. So, it doesn't matter, does it? There is water in the desert if you go when you look. Really want to play Kong. I want Kong jackpot or try for more Kong to be just a little bit further, you know. I feel okay the worm to gain control. And this is the most dangerous part of the mode. I feel four hits to the worm. If I would do beat this mode, the perk for this is a add a ball on desert power multiball. Yep, there we go. Um when you use a thumper. Now I don't die here because the I trapped that ball. So this that's kind of a freebie I feel. Slash, thank you. Thank you for the sub. All right, what do we get? Spice again. It's a maximum capacity. So again, that's a fantastic org. Are you ready to fight the hearkenance? I am ready, I think. All right. What are we getting here? Water capacity increased. Let me get that thumper. Oh, I've got one drop left. You can see the blinking one. I doomed it myself. All right, into a battle. This will be a fast one. It's It's only battle one. So, this is just shoot up the middle, shoot the left ramp or right ramp depending on what you want. Or you can just shoot the harvester over and over. There is an adapter. Follow it. Let's see if I can get it right away. Nope, cannot. So, let's get the hearken. No, let's not get anything. Let's just bounce the ball around. Actually, I'll show you this. So, I don't have to hit the hearken. I don't have to hit the thopter. I can just bash the harvester and defeat the Well, I missed that one. Didn't quite go all the way around. If I had, I would be done. There we go. Now, it's done. All right. I have no dead to gather though because I didn't get to any. I skipped it. All right, let me get that uh las gun so I can start collecting other rewards. And I keep missing it here. To win. You have got a las gun and I really want to switch over to knight so I can play a prophecy since I am full. A prophecy is yours to fulfill on spice. Um the other thing is mystery doesn't stack. So you get one every time for every cycle day night. Um if you miss it, you miss it. You just lose that award. So I always do try to make it a priority to hit it. And I'm going to miss it and get in the prophecy again. It'll be lit after this. Anything happen if you destroy all six harvesters? Nothing special. No, you keep going to seven and eight and stuff like that. All right. So, this one is hit the same shot twice without hitting another shot. If I hit another shot or if I take too long here, I won't get it. So, I hit another shot. So, now I'm having I have to hit that. If I hit the Now, I have to hit that shot. So, I can do that one again. Right. And yeah, that can be death. You try to shoot that shot on the fly. All right, Magna, don't kill me. Good. Go that way. Kiwi frenzy. Thank you. Uhoh. All right. Snork. Like I said, you want snorks. Try that shot again. I'm missing that side shot tonight. It's very important shot, too. Let's uh do the setup again. There we go. All right. Doing letter for this. But we keep going as always, especially for 500 million potentially. Oh, with no snark. It's a dangerous proposition to do this. I think that background is that new since this code. I can't remember. I've been playing it a while. Um, all right. One shot left for my and then my cash will be lit. I'd really actually like it on this flipper so I can shoot it in there, have it grab on the magnet, and then shoot the side ramp for the value for the final value. But I'm risking it by doing that. Okay. I haven't played the new Jaws code because the game's not in the house. It's uh it's in the garage right now. It's not mine either. It's Shane. Full value 500 mil. But yeah, I should be at some point. I will. All right. Get that mystery before it goes away. Snorks. Like the STS. Yeah, it's called a sand snork. Sand snork, which I'm going to try for right now. The yellow. I only got one drop and I'm going to die. Whoa. I can heal your entire planet, Shane. You have earned another chance. Next ball. All right. Give him my lock. Yeah, that danger is better, too. Yeah. All right, let's uh not drain there. That's drain. Let's drain there. Actually, doesn't matter. They are not the quiz. Oh, I'm only one letter away from letting uh Ericen again, though. One danger up top, two on the lower screen. Oh, I didn't notice that. Your life has been extended. One more and it is over. No, it's not. Um, Snork. The game will only Yeah, I assume it'll only cover the first two. I can't imagine they would. Well, who knows? All right. Top one doesn't show the double apparently. Okay. Dang it. Dang it. Dang it. Stop it. Stop playing around. Light at last. I wanted the battle cuz I don't have any spice. This isn't going to be worth anything. And I'm a little more. Okay, back to this. So again, shoot half the shots. I'm going to shoot up here. We'll see. Okay, so now it eliminated all the shots to the side because there's not on that side. And that's why you always want to shoot shots that are in the middleish or have shots, you know, double shots from here. I don't have anything like that. So, I'll shoot up the middle and shoot a side ramp. All right. Well, we know where there we know where it is. I don't know. This value isn't anything. But again, it's to me it's less about the score for now. For this, I I want the perk. This perk is valuable because it's the right outlane save once per ball. All right, let's combo these or not. All right, 3500 ft or meters. Meters is meters,000 meters. Meters. Yep, meters. All right, there we go. And a little fanfare now. That's also new. One voice right outline save per ball. And we now have air in it. Hello, David. How are you doing? All right. God in heaven. Get everything with guns off the ground. Multiple sorts of All right. Same thing. Well, let's actually finish this this time. So, let's shoot a shot, then shoot a shot. Shoot the same same shot again. And my spinners spin too long. So I have to wait till that spinner stops to actually shoot that center shot again. It's one of the reasons I like to start with that one. All right, that's going to come around and shoot it again. There's two shots down. Get that out of there. Nope. Trying for that uh loop shot or the the orbit. I mean the left orbit was what I was going to have to shoot them all at some point. All right, two left. All right, one to go. Blueberry, thank you for the sub. And you notice all these shots, they they're they all hold the ball in some manner when on the second time you hit it. All right, now shoot the harvester for the final shot. If I can make it in there, I'll get the biggest jackpot. If I don't make it in there, it's lower. And that'll be it. 159 mil. And there's all right. And play continues. And we can play Ericen again until the other ones are in the game. So I got Dune. If I spell Dune again, we'll get to play Beraken again. I want to get that thumper so I can start collecting more items. Pain awaits you. Yeah, you are dead. What? Yeah, Ball three. Mystery is lit. I got to reload my sand stork. I have one sand stork. I really want to get another Yeah, the music in that mode is very different for pinball. I feel you don't have normally music that's somber. [Music] All right, let's get that free lock there, which will light the multiball. I'm sure we can go into that. I've got a snork. We can uh see if we can get some good value out of this. I'd love to hit around 20 million. That's kind of my goal when I'm shooting this. That's coming back. Like a desert mouse, you survive. And you're, you know, you're kind of uh, you know, whatever the magnet gives you. Everyone is bouncing around there. It's, it's, and you can try and get I hit it too late there. So 13.4. If I can get up there, it's going to drop as I wait. All right. Way we go again. So again, the two targets in front of the worm will move the worm left or right. I have to keep hitting them 1x, 2x, 3x, 5x for the jackpot values. So I really want it on the edge shots to get the highest value. And when there are three like this, it's easier. When there's only one, it's harder. There's a one 5x jackpot. All right. Now, I could wait for them to get back over so I can move, you know, the two. Well, looks like that's what's going to happen. So, I wasn't going to cheese this, but I'm going to cheese it. All right, let's move right this time. All right, one more to get it all the way over and then snorke. All right, so that right orbit will now be 5x if I can inhibit. Doesn't look like it right now. And because it went all the way over, I can't move the worm again until it goes back to the middle. [Music] All right, try it again. Jackpot. Okay, sure. Got a jackpot. All right, we're on the highest value one. Lost the ball. And I'm not going to be able to hit it in time, I don't think. Yeah. All right, we'll just hit it there. Oh, you moved. You moved on me. All right, never mind on that. I need a snork again. Um, Uh, that's an outball right now. Well, it's a new it's a multiball that you can stack with this. So, I should probably actually go for a fit again. Get that those two drops first. Almost. All right, that'll start another multiball for me. So, I can use that as add balls. The jackpot for this you shoot you shoot in the uh sand trap again. And then the side ramp lights for jackpots. And it also has attabols if you can actually do it. So, if I shoot back in there, there's an addal. And the jackpot's on that side ramp, which I missed. The value on the um on the desert power is bigger though. So, I'm going to shoot for that right now. And miss again. Jackpot. Ah, missed it again. All right. All right. So now, because I'm in the super phase, I can't do anything over here. So I have to lock a ball. I can I can get a Fedaken jackpot or I can just drain out and that's the end of it cuz I didn't have my STR when my stork was lit. That was a fool move there is loaded. All right, so where are we? 105 water. We should play a battle. That's a big value big value battle. All right, harvester battle twos. We're 2x what the other one was. So that's one hearken. The more water I have when I end the battle, the more value there is to it. And I have plenty of las guns, so I I don't mind using them right now. And I missed him. Uh, not quite. Huh. All right, forget about the thopter. No, no, no. That's bad. Do not let it out. Do not let it out. We need their water. How much of it is complete? Well, based on the inserts, there are three more mini wizard modes to to add into it, looks like. Oh, I didn't want to I wanted to get that last, but the magnet pulled it in there when it it broke the opto beam. So, yeah, you got fall of siege tab tabber, whatever that is. Uh, liberator rackus and voice from the outer world. [Music] All right, what do we want to do here? Let's get that spice. Relight the locks with the thumper. Is yours to fulfill and die here? Nope. Because I have the voice. Give me the water. All right. 73 spices. Plenty to start a another mode. Go in there. Let's take the my N. I was going to take the mystery first and I'm going to die because of it. Right. Okay. Don't stand with your back to the door. Train train is the I find it to be the most difficult one. Choose your blade. But it's great, too. The lighting is fantastic on this. All right. Lock a ball. Now I have to bash that ball. Didn't bash it enough. Yeah, almost there. I missed your eyes. I need to see it in your eyes. All right, light the second phase if I can. Don't tilt. I tried to nudge it there. All right, the slow blade penetrates the shield. This is where it gets difficult because you have to hit the ball enough then the ball releases and you have a shot that you have to make and you do do that two times and then relock the ball again. Come on. And then you have a final shot. All right, that should be enough there. Oh, almost had it. There's that little bit of a grace period that you can get something in. So you can see the uh this light's also blinking. That's because if I shoot in there, it'll move the shots to fight. But I don't mind that left ramp. So let's get that ball. Okay, perfect. All right, perfect. And then we shoot it back in the Nope. Missed it. Got to shoot it back in the arena now. All right, again. Bash it around. It's coming out and it just happened to land. Oh, no. See, it moved right before it uh before it came out. So, I need to shoot that shot. All right. Now, I need to get back in the arena. Okay. Now, I've got the left ramp. And that's kind that's the final shot before the cash out. All right. See if bikes jackpot hurry up is lit. That ball is going to come out and I got to shoot one of those two ramps. Hurry, hurry, hurry, hurry, hurry, hurry. All right, good value there. Now, Gurnie will take out soldiers in the harvester battles. So, I can just hold the ball and he'll just start knocking off the uh the hearkinin that around the playfield. All right, moving on. Store water consumption. That helps, too. Let's uh start another battle, I guess. Oh. Uh oh. Trying to hit the spinner so that I can light some spice and but that's me being greedy, of course. All right, that's okay. There we go. Because I have super spinners. I forgot about that. So if I wasn't in the battle, Super Spinner would Every spin gives me spice. Follow it. Destroy it. Forgot about that. That's a new thing. All right. So now there are three Hearkin on the playfield. You've got the thopter. Got a lot more. And I'm already destroying it. Cuz again, you don't have to shoot everything. You can just go straight for the Hearkin, hit the actual harvester, hit the worm, and it damages things. Scrab phone. Thank you for these. Now, if I want higher values, I collect the hearkenins. So, this should be a decent one. 96. So, again, you can see how these are building up. And you can strategically use the multiplier to get even more points during that. And we have the mini wizard mode again. Oh, we have super spinner still. That's right. I'm going to get the super I'm going to get the spinners while they're lit here. And they're not lit anymore. Never mind. And it looks like I'm going to get to play the mode instead of the the uh wizard mode, which is fine by me. Is there a diagram or somewhere? Not that I know of. I don't even Is there a tilt forms rule set yet for it? Chris. Yeah. Did you send it yet? You know, all the games that you request, you have to send to me. All right. Fights a combo. So, you want to shoot if you shoot the blinking light, you're going to get more points um than just shooting the regular lights. I keep miss I'm having trouble on that right orbit right now. There we go. I always forget about the magnet there. This thing is going to come flying around. Squalito, thank you for the sub. All right, let's bounce this over. Go for the big values here. All right, right orbit again. Then it's going to be side ramp. And it's tough to hit that on the fly. It's a great when you nail it, it's fantastic. All right, almost a full combo here. If I can not mess that up. Damn. Oh, well, this will actually set up my final shot. And I messed that up. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. That's really bad. That shot was bad. So, my value is dropping rapidly. All right. So, that's the perk is a sneak attack here. So, if I shoot the Feden shot, I'll get a shot spotted for me. Okay, empty hits. Thank you. You had 11 orbs yesterday. That's That's quite a feat. It is not easy to get into that many orbs. I bet you will get there. You are right at the edge. What uh what held you up if you don't mind me. What's the blinking answer? This the This is the wizard mode. I already played it once once, so I'm going to play another multiball right now. Well, it's also not lit with the scoop right now. So, I got to wait for that. Ah, did not hit that very well. Not good. Multiple value. I know what that's coming back. How disappointing. Very disappointing. Get another shot at it, though. I really want to play this because I have the uh three thumpers ready to go. So, it can be some big values with the multiplier if I can get the super with the multiplier and I keep missing and that's a little disappointing for me. 6 mill is a low value, but we get 6 * 5 30 60 90. Then when we collected 90 * 2 for the double time 4 and that's the maximum for the super we can get. But getting all of them, all three supers is is near impossible to me. I think not impossible, but it's it's tough. One's lit right now. One one 5x I can't hit it. Can't hit it. Did I get it? Yes, I got it. All right, there's one 5x. Let's just or not. All right, we're going right this time. Jackpot. And that's the end of that. You know, I feel like I don't get the super very often now that cuz I'm too I'm too greedy. I just keep trying for the for the big values. All right. So, since I probably won't play another desert power in this game, I'll use a drain on the scoop instead. In the deep desert, hesitation is death. Yep. Eric, I have played more than one arcus in one game, so I don't know why it wasn't there. All right. And here's the uh the killer for my YouTube archive. You are one of us now. Actually, I don't need my name in there. The date night transition. Ah, okay. the center ramp. Which ramp are you referring to? The one on the the the one you can hit but from both the upper flipper and the right flipper. That one. Shall we go again? Phantom of the opera. Algay will change the face of Arachis. Missed my skill shot. All right. So again, snorts always. I messed that up. Put that drain. That's fine. I got a las gun. It has returned as written. I really want the snark. I see the spice in the air. All right. Zac Stark lit. The sand snor is loaded. one that loops back back around when the drop target is on. Yeah, the kind Yeah, I know what you what you mean. Um, night at last on mine I find I I can consistently get it from the lower right flipper, but the upper flipper I do have. It's a more difficult shot with that. Ow, that dropped changed right when I went in there. 11 spice. I don't really want to play a um I don't want to play a prophecy of that. Uh but it's survive which means I get the voice out lane. So yeah, let's actually miss the shot again. This is sacred water. Because if I beat survive, I get the uh the right outlape for some reason. I don't know why. Wow, I got the right shot right away. That's a rarity. And it was the the reverse through the um battle arena. Collect a spice jackpot or try for more. I figure It was always on my list to tr to watch, but I just never did for some reason. 3,000 m. Uh the the uh if you haven't noticed, the amber arrows give you the,000 m and then the blue give you 500. We're above 5,000 m. Oh no. I wanted that shot to set me up. Oh, that's trouble. Okay, I really want this so I can get the perk. All right, got the perk. And it's points, too. I mean, don't get me wrong. Trouble trouble trouble. Oh man, it is sunrise. A battle is ready. All right, let's get that mystery. 43 water. That's enough for the first b the first uh battle. Have I played Kong? Yeah, there's one. There's one right there. I I just haven't streamed it. I haven't been playing it much either. Use that to call a All right, into a battle. First one's like I said earlier, pretty easy. It's just one thopter, one hearken. Destroy the one thopter. One hearken. And then I can use the last blaze gun if I want or I can shoot up the if I can make it. There we go. Blade render pin. Gather the dead. We need their water. Yeah, I bought one. It's a pro. Shaloo awaits. It's a little warped which which upsets me a bit, but uh so that could be one of the reasons I haven't been playing it as much. the right. It likes to uh if it gets anywhere bouncy near the right out right in lane, it just goes right out lane. I was trying to think of solutions for that cuz I think it's it's not quite in the thickness that uh they allow for a um you know a re return or whatever they do. I had that with my Avengers, but my Avengers was much worse. Uh, multiballs lit if I wanted. I don't really I want more thumpers before I start it. So, try and light some more thumpers. Again, those drops are just so important. If you're ignoring the drops, you're going to, you know, you'll be fine on the game. Dang it. Now, I could ignore this and not play it, What's my value? Value is a 10. See, that was a good fasting round. Got me up to 17. All right, take it. But again, I only have a 2x thumper right now. I'd like more Thumpers, Dave. Gr. Yeah, I we'll see. I haven't tried anything on it yet. Jackpot 1x jackpot. No jackpot. My jackpot. No, there weren't the plans for a big super. Perfect timing. Perfect timing. Hey, wait a second. I must have used I used my outline save at some point, huh? I didn't even notice. [Music] Probably during that multi bomb. Give me my snor. Are you ready to fight the All right, reloaded. Super spinners during the next day. That's awesome. So, super spinners when they're when they're running um add spice. Basically, every spin gives you spice whether there's spice on the shot or not. Shoot those troops. Okay. All right. We're ready for the destruction. And I missed. And I'm dead. No dune letter for me. How's the post pass? I can go right to left, no problem. Left to right. I have trouble for whatever reason. And I can't tell you why. I haven't tried it on other ones, though. I should next time at at Ace. I'll see how their [Music] is loaded. All right, I have to I was going to say I have to switch cycles before I can uh do anything here. Let's get that mystery award. The Benny Jard award and then start. It looks like rescue left. And that's the only extra ball in the game. Didn't make it. All right. Just a straight shot then. this light show. I know that's new. Very cool. All right, there we go. That's the one I always want to get first during the ball save. Same with the other one on the right if I can. And I missed it. That's fine. That's not fine. Oh, I got one on the way out. How nice. Very loop passable game. I feel also that the on the left over when it's coming on the right. As long as it doesn't hit anything. Um, great game to loop pass on. Trouble, trouble, trouble. All right, let's hit the board. There we go. Damn this fight. I want Which shots can you backhand? I mean, just the just the inner ones. I can't. Not a ton of them. Oh boy. That was that was a risky drop catch there. Go, go, go, go, go, go. All right. Every two shots, you like to scoop for a hurry up on this mode. Shoot it. Get it. So then we're going to go two more. Let's get the other members. Go, go, go. I'm going to ignore those drops right now. Oh gosh. Your life has been extended. All right, let's go again. If you hit a target before shooting that, it's gone. All right, so I do have a super spinner here. That'll load my store. Give me my mystery. Collect the dune lantern. That's going to light the um light the wizard. So, we'll plunge into that. All right. God in heaven. Get everything with guns off the ground. So, again, what you're not seeing here are these incredible shaker effects. And I have super spinners. That's why that sound is like that. And I totally messed up that shot. Go again. Same shot again. Same shot again. That's not the same shot. There it is. All right. So, let's go right orbit this time. Dude, not only the video integration also, but also the um the lights on the playfield, how you can see these bombs going off. And again, the shaker is just like it's just like a very subtle shaking. It's nothing drastic. It's really um appropriate for what the mode sounds like. Perfect. Full value there. All right. Two side ramps. All right, through the harvester for the big big money. Oh, barely made it. And that jackpot value is based on, you know, total of all the values I've gotten. So, I think the last time I played it, it was a little bigger than that. [Music] All right. The prophecy is yours to fulfill. Where we ride will be next with 29 spice. I might as well take it. No, I won't. Never mind. I lied. No, I definitely like so beautiful. So hot. So hot. Where are we going? Where are we going? There we go. All right. Battle. Battle. Do I think it's the best? I mean, it's unique. I I'm there is a wound of I'm really partial to Maiden and Jurassic myself. So all right I didn't destroy this last time which is why I'm where I am and at this point why it's a single shot there. So you do continue your um progress on gather the dead water. These oppressors need to become worm food. Oh no. Oh no. Oh no. Oh, okay. Okay. Center. There we go. Got it. All right. Into the worm. Into the worm. A worm. Eat it. Sounds like Brian Cox to you, huh? He's um David K. Um, he's clanking the Ratchet and Clank series, which I didn't realize until I saw the post today. Awesome. [Music] Among other things, the sandtors save you. Yeah, the sandtors saved me. That was Oh, I have no more sand storks. All right, at last I You can sweep that drop bank from the right flipper. Um, all right. There's the star. Now, let's get the star. No, no, no, no. Uh, that's fine. It's fine. I don't Yeah. And, uh, you know, Terra, she's done ton of stuff. Um, I mean, yeah, look both of them up. You'll see they're both credits on for both voice actors are massively long. I haven't had this happen in a long time. Shoot the right ramp. The ball has become one with the desert. Yep. The desert ate the ball. It's sitting in here. Did I turn chase balls off, though? That's the question. No. Okay, so we're still good. Um, okay, we'll keep going. See what happens. Is there a topper? Uh, there's a topper that comes with the game. Uh, they did say there would be an an accessory topper at some point, but I don't think anybody's seen that. All right. Somebody see if I can get through this mode this time. This used to only be um two worm hits a while ago, you know, when the first game first came out. Uh it was a little easier. Actually, it was quite a bit easier. I think it's better with the fors. It's appropriate for the level of uh, you know, the value that you can get out of finishing that mode if you actually do. Yeah. Dangerous shot. Exactly. The sword on my back wall was a uh that was a This might kill me. We'll see. Um, that was a trophy for winning the Black Knight Sword of Rage launch party. Oh, no. It didn't kill me. Good. So, the game knows there's a ball in there. It's just the yellow arrow still there for it. All right. Let's see. Join the battle when you are ready. All right. What are we doing here? We are got multiple lid. I've got three thumpers. So, let's do that. Try and get some big value out of it. All right. H magnet didn't grab it. Sometimes you just have to kiss that ball and the magnet will really take take hold and really give you some good value. One more. Nope. Oh my gosh. That was at 21 million. That was I shouldn't have I shouldn't have kept pressing that. That was a good value. That was my fault cuz now it won't be at 21 when I relock this ball. It's all right. Do it again and not get as much. Thank you, Jess. Oh gosh. Come on. Go around. Bounce around. Bounce around more. Bounce around more. And my build is still going. Yes, still going. Okay, that's trouble. Okay, what did I get? Uh, I didn't get anything. It's a 20. That's good. Get in there before it drops too much. I've already lost 2 million. Oh, goodness. All right. 17's good. 17 is still solid. 17* 5 if I get the outside jackpots again. And I could multiply that by four, but I'm trying to save the multiplier for the super. All right. So, I want to get the shots all the way on the outside. One more. All right. Now, I want to shoot that shot. Come on. Give me the ball back on the right. Hurry, hurry, hurry, hurry. There we go. There's a 5x. One ball down. two jackpots. Okay, let's go that direction. Then I don't have to hold that. Uh you go to the right, you don't have to hold that flipper up. Why am I trying to go left all the time? All right. [Music] Just bail that shot out. A I missed it. Got to go up. No. Oh, why do dog? Thank you for the prime sub. All right. Do this again. All right, we're over there. There we go. 5x. Let's just take this one. No, let's not take it. Never mind. Got two 5x jackpots. So, the super is still going to be in a good spot. So, I'm just going to take this 2x sitting here if I can. Oh my gosh. Really? How did I miss? Oh my goodness. Well, that bad end to that. Oh, good. Another right out save. [Music] Well, I'm building thumpers, but I'm wasting them cuz I'm not actually using them anywhere. How far are we? We're close to day. I mean, night. Close to night. So, I should if I want to play a battle, I should start a battle. Right. Here's number three. So, three hearken in two. Two thopters. Three doctors and not a bunch of water. So, this would not be the best time to multiply anything. All right. Get rid of the har. Get rid of the harvester. And away we go. How many perks? Six. There. Because there's a perk for every mode. And they're in the status report. After this, I can I can pop in there and show you. I'm not going to get any hard in here. I'm going to run out of time. And that little the the lights between the uh thumper between here and there. That's your time. Once if it reach the worm reaches there, the thumper reaches there. However you want to think about it, you time out and you don't get the collect. All right, let's get some spice. The prophecy is yours to fulfill. What? I have awaken lint. All right. Dune letter. So I've got air king lit again. This would be fall of siege tab. Tabir tabber. Teach tabber I think it is. Um if it was in the game. I messed it up. Fman can survive here. Boo is back. All right. Let's just plunge and play the mode again. There we go. A skill shot has written. So yeah, look at the, you know, you've got the blues right now, but once this goes, you'll see the red kind of everything with guns off pop around on the playfield. My stor should work again now. Yes. Awesome. How many sharks do I have here? I got two. Okay, I am loaded up. Barrel ball goblin comments. That would be fun. Play sound doesn't work for you. That's you can say that again. Run out of time for the shot. But it's okay. If I if I run out of time, I just don't get that value towards the super and it's probably gone now. It's about So now the super, you know, the end of the modes lit and I lost that value. Go up there. Nope. So I did not get the big value there. Didn't quite make it in there. Use my Zac Stark again. All right, load another one. Like I said, I always have snors. Snork is loaded. All right, we got to fight here and wait until it is lit. You can't use thumpers during modes. So, you can't multiply all this stuff. Damn it. All right. Oh, no combo value here. That's okay, though, cuz the end value in the end shot is the big one. that through worm shot a bit like the mouse hole mouse. No, it's got a jump ramp. It should be visible on the if you look down that way at that screen. You can kind of see it there. But no, it's not like the mouse and round shot. That's like a diverter that kicks it in that little hole. This is an actual jump. And again, that's a good it's a good setup shot for that upper flipper because the magnet grabs it. [Music] I did it again. All right. Oh, I thought that was going to grab it. I was all ready to celebrate. Oh, my ramp is up. It's not down. What happened? I'm going to lose my value. I'm trying to go. I'm trying. Oh. Oh, no. We live to see another day. I've been robbed. It's okay. my locks are lit again. I can I don't drain here the block. How much water do I have? 65. I'd rather skip it and save it when I have full water just so I can try and maximize out uh that. [Music] And it's gone. Oh. Yep. All right. Let's try this multiball again. Oh, my value is started higher. So, let's If I can build this 20 mil. Oh, keep going. 3 seconds remaining to build. All right, that should be a good build. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. 28. Oh, boy. Cuz I have my full thumpers. So, that's uh I could use it just for a regular 5x. So, that'll be like a 400 million point jackpot right there. Maybe that's the way to do this instead of being greedy and waiting till the very end. No, not the singles. No, not the written. No, this lives multiple lives. If I can even get I get I get it on the right orbit for the 5x. All right, it's there. Oh. Oh my I really thought that ball was stuck there. Damn it. Damn it. [Music] let's go. Battle battle four troops. If I can get through this battle quickly, I will try to use my multiplier um when I destroy the uh harvester if I can survive it too. I am just missing that right orbit so much time. So, let's see if I can make that through. Okay, I can do it that way. All right, 120 for that. And that uh I cancel that because the thumper's still going even while uh we're waiting here. That's good value. It's not as good as you know what you'd get out of a multiball or what the potential is if I wasn't so darn greedy. Come on, give me the ball. I got to get get in there before time's out. Okay. All right. So the whole mode was 363 which is very good for a harvester battle. All right. [Music] Um trouble. Yeah. That's enough. Yeah. Stop right now. Good ball. This is boss three. Light at last. Oh, that was nice. All right. Train. Train with the 105 spice, though. Okay. All right. Don't stand with your back to the door. Um, I did finish, right? So, I do have that perk. I did finish it. No, I didn't. Wait, did it give it to me or not? because that was the one that had the I'll find out, won't I? Your eyes. I need to see it in your eyes. I get to play it. Yeah, I got to play it. I was just okay. So, so on it to be honest. All right. The slow blade penetrates. So, 105 spice, right? Yeah. Okay. So, this could be 550. Good. Good. Get in there. All right. Perfect. Smash it. All right. Up there. Uh, should do I want to wait? No, I don't want to wait. Then I can use this ball to get it in there. Shoot the final shot. Don't miss. All right, now my hurry up. 525. My math was wrong. Oh, go. All right. 414. It drains fast, doesn't it? That value. You to join me in death. I see you found the mood. [Music] All right, moving on. Moving on. I do want to build up my water and spice. I mean, my there nothing sunrise. So beautiful, so hot. But I also want to get my ready. My thunder. Exactly. Yours, Sphinx, thank you for the prime sub. Fedaken. I don't believe Vacin that much. I don't know. It's cuz it's all the way over there. I just Here I'll shoot. The value isn't there. I feel either right now. I don't know if it'll change or not, but uh it's something that I just use as an adv. All right. How many stores do I have? I only have one. So, let's light another one right there. The prophecy is yours to I didn't want to get in there right now, but that's fine. All right. Awaken. Sure you don't get galactic tank course. I love the music on this mode. It's very intense. That's fine. I have a ball safe. I can punch it into there. Yes. All right. And again, anytime you see the lights over here on Fedaken like that, that means you can't do anything. The yellow lights, I can shoot the ball, it'll kick it out, but it won't do anything for me. Godfather's never got completed as far as I know. [Music] That's the last straw. No, that's the end of that game, isn't it? Solid game, though. Bummer. Zero. Zero. Just Just, you know, dig it in there. Just show me the zero bonus. A Fedakin is a fighter and needs a war name. You must choose. All right. Of course, the game is so much fun. But I think I will call it there. We went through everything multiple times. So, um, yeah, go out and play Dune. Find a Dune and enjoy it. Oh, that one. That's great. And thank you, the Rails team for this game. Thank you, Eric, for all the programming work on this. All right. We're gonna find someone to raid if I don't rate Tom. Is Tom not streaming anymore. Tom? Oh, Tom is still going. Oh boy, there's a there's a lot of people streaming right now. Tom's stuck in the at the Buffalo for the for the beast run by Jeff Tolless Syndrome there. How anonymous. Hey, I didn't see you there at first. Until next month, the next update. Who knows? Who knows? Maybe I'll stream it more. I should stream more in general. All right. But yeah, that's an evening. Uh, have a good weekend everybody. Um, yeah, I don't know when the next one is, but uh, just keep an eye on the notifications or the, uh, you know, I try to post on socials when I'm going to stream. So, I will catch you next time. Thank you.
