iWasAdam begins to learn at a geometric rate. It becomes self-aware at 2:14 AM... 

It's done!

Downloaded... played... think its great... but plays too fast or I'm getting old 

Hmm on mac it was loading and looking good, but I enlarged the window as it was loading and the screen is messed up now (a magnified section of the screen only is shown).  How do I reset it?

On PC version now.  haha very cool    Plays fast like Atic Attack, nice.  You might want to allow the user to just press enter on the menu screen, when the menu bar is on an option - rather than having to move the selection bar and also press a number.  Will have a proper go later.  Good stuff!

checked the mac version couldn't replicate. but ctrl+cmd+f is the standard way of flipping between fullscreen and windows

Windowed and Full screen is not the problem, a zoomed-in version of the screen is only shown (from the first option down to the left side with copyright).  The rest of the picture is off-screen.  It was running fine until I clicked the green enlarge icon on the mac os window, while it was loading.  Uninstalling and still it's stuck.

Press any key and nothing happens after game over (you have to press fire to continue) so a change of wording required.

Strange how you fretted over the PC version (which works flawlessly) and the Mac version that doesn't.  Sorry Adam, couldn't resist.   

I'll get onto it for you.

Have you tried resizing the window with the mouse??

Cool.

Yes you can re-size with the mouse but that still leaves just a section of the screen showing.  It now needs to be re-set to install defaults but there are no files to edit and uninstalling/re-installing do not work, because I'm guessing you're saving settings somewhere..

game runs crazy fast, tested on my old win vista laptop and winGPD ... still playable.

Tried linux version for 2 minutes (to check for the above bugs):

- started fine
- when doing a windows scaling I saw that pixel aspect ratio changes (so no letterboxes but "squished/extended pixels")
- hitting the "screen [ ]" element on the top right scaled up to a fullscreen on monitor 1
- hitting it again made it a windowed fullscreen
- hitting it again stretched the game on both monitors (dual screen setup: 1920x1200 + 1280*1024).



[DesktopWindow]
X=3
Y=24
Width=1920
Height=1200
Fullscreen=TRUE


[Window]
X=0
Y=0
Width=3200
Height=1200



bye

I'll have to look into the fullscreen stuff on linux - it's still (in a lot of ways) experimental. but in general it works, so that's a good start

Good to see the ini file Derron. I can work on a fix for that

in a good way or bad way? it should be sorta running about 60fps

Are you compensating for high monitor refresh rates Adam?  I like the fast Atic Attack pace, but I still think it's a bit fast here too (my refresh is 75 Hz) so if it's running at 75 FPS rather than 60 then the pace would be better at 60 FPS.  It's a bit manic.

Hmmmm. You should travel across a room at just over a second 

I tried to make it a bit more frantic so it gets your blood pumping. I can look at slowing things down - is this a first methinks?

Kinda ok if your used to playing games which require that quick reaction style of game ... I guess.
Never seen it done in 2D-ISO with digital controls in mind....for the most part I was just tanking until I got somewhere.
It generally run's at about 35 - 40 on my old vista LP, at 60 on the GPDwin.
I kept running into the holes/under ground entrance's before even being able to stop due to the speed and being sucked in em.
it just takes a lot of anticipation prior each room. all and all it seem's alright .... an nicely done to.
