Highlights
- The Mandalorian layout is unlike anything Brian Eddy has designed recently and stands out as very original
- The game shoots faster and more fluidly than expected from static photos
- Dwight Sullivan's code incorporates video game-style currency and item shop mechanics for acquiring power-ups
- The Grogu toy is stationary, not motorized to pick up or move the ball
- Mandalorian is selling 'a shit ton' of machines and doesn't need additional features to drive sales
- Wire form crossovers were used instead of plastic for Premium/LE, improving aesthetics while maintaining speed
- The stream had multiple ball-off incidents from the wire form crossovers
- Jerry Thompson provided sound design; music is included but vocal call-outs from Mando are minimal
- Jersey Jack announced a Guns N' Roses topper coming later this summer
- Lior Rajwan is creating an interactive Guns N' Roses topper requiring its own PC to run, limited to 100-150 units
Notable quotes
“It was about as much flow as I expected after I saw the still photos, which I liked... the biggest thing that surprised me was it did not seem that the mini play field was used as much or as long as I thought it would be”
“The big thing for the Premium LE, in my opinion, is you get that extra shot... My favorite thing was actually having the wire forms for the crossovers. I really like the look of that a lot better than the plastic.”
“Why not have a game that's ready to stream? Question mark... Sometimes you just got to get out the spot welder during the stream and you just got to do some welding.”
“All reports are this game is doing very well. They're selling a shit ton of them... Numbers don't lie. The game's clearly successful enough on theme alone without Grogu doing really cool stuff.”
“It's not something we've seen a lot of... you're accumulating a currency, and then you're able to use that essentially in item shop to acquire things to help your game out... Some phone games do that.”
“The lighting effects overall... it's already well, well-coated... Jerry always does a great job... If Jerry Thompson or David Thiel is on a game, it's going to sound good. They're consistent about it.”
“This is different, which I'm really glad it wasn't Shadow 2.0. I'm glad he didn't do that. I could have went with that as well. I'm tired of this go-back-to-the-well crap. We need new stuff, and Brian delivered.”
“That left ramp, that's got a long distance to travel to the backboard... but it was super fast, like a rocket. Same with the right ramp... really quick. That center, razor-crest shot... very fast, flowed very well...”
