Hey Guys,
Great Game!
Since you asked, here are my comments about the scroll border.
I like the default setting of 3. It does give you a little cushion when the bad guys are in your path, but not so much to make the game too easy (I think 7 certainly does that).
Having a scroll border of 0 is problematic for me though. The biggest problem is more not knowing the mazes. When you are at the end of any path, you stop at the crossing block but with no scroll border, you don't know if you're at the edge of the map or just against a wall. You will literally need to hunt your way around each maze. For me this would make a very enjoyable game frustratingly hard. (This would be a nice option to have in the settings so that people who know the maps can go borderless.)
This is illustrated by these images from level 1-1
Is this the bottom?
Is this the right?
Or is this the bottom?
No real indication of where the wall breaks are until you pass that side. So literally, you need to check every possible turn until you find an opening (for each wall). Or am I missing something? This would be hard on 1-1 but nearly impossible on some of the higher levels with lots of dead ends.
One visual clue I get with the zero scroll border is the loss of the bottom half of the bottom row... here
It's even worse depending on the settings of your monitor (and mine is probably not the best...)
I do have a couple gameplay suggestions if you do want to add a "Devil Mode" to the game.
If you want them, who should I send the suggestions to?
It is super fun guys. It's obvious you have a lot of heart poured into this one.
Oh, another thing that I would ask is for a soft reboot. In the beta, if I reboot (run + select), it takes me back to the system startup screen (using a LaserActive). I'd love to have it take me back to the start menu. Save the system start for a hard reboot.
It's a bug and I can replicate it 100% of the time.
