Storm Foundry · Bubble Pinball

Storm Foundry: new pieces, bosses and tips

What it introduces: a subway under the playfield, electric arcs, a kicker that fires the ball up the middle, pop bumpers on a moving cart, a conveyor belt, a bubble ceiling that drops and a pair of mini flippers. The tables test your nerve: push the ceiling back up by popping bubbles (table 63), set off chain reactions between the arcs (table 66), charge the ball only in the subway (table 70) and face fragile bubbles in the heart of the forge (table 74).

Iron Titan (table 75) moves the pop bumpers with its iron fists, closes your routes with high-voltage arcs and finally comes down towards the flippers, so pop its core before it arrives; on this table the ramps paint the ball yellow and violet. The Generator (table 80) has four phases: the rings go dark and only the subway charges, the arcs switch on, you shoot the coils with the kicker, and a final overload opens the core.

One of the hardest tables of the foundry is Max Pressure (table 73), marked red on the map: four bubbles in four different colours whose shells grow back after 20 seconds, against a short clock. Finish every bubble you crack before moving on, and use the two-flipper swap to change colour without leaving the flippers.
