It's probably not screen size but the ratio. I'm on ultra wide. Game itself looks file but just all the click spots etc are offset to left by 500 pixels or so.

Tried to replicate that regression issue but didn't manage to do so. Maybe I was just hallucinating and was constantly just not making it past 9.  Or if it's a bug, it's a rather rare one. But did manage to improve my top score though (twice). Kinda sucks that the game doesn't recognize looping around as better score than 0.

Had to go for another run with an intentional death to get a leaderboards spot...

Another thing that would improve the experience would be to lower the death area. There can be situations where you still have it on the bottom paddle and could save it but the y-axis being too near the edge, it just counts as a loss. Doesn't feel great.

Oh yeah, the left and right edges too! At least when playing not full screen, moving the mouse off the screen doesn't update the mouse spot accordingly but just kinda remembers the last spot often leaving a gap there. Gotta be real careful to stay inside the window.

I definitely did not consider ultra-wide monitors. I'll have to fix these issues for sure, thanks a lot.

I love that you took a video. You totally got the hang of it now it appears. 

Genuine question: did you notice what the score updated to when you hit a target when you were at 0? 


Edit:  PS: You're the very first person other than me to get a score of 0!

Yeah, it looped back to 11 and started counting down from there again. So basically it should have been a score of -7 on leaderboards 😅

Did trying to lock-in a score of 11 not cross your mind? Or maybe it did but you didn't feel it was worth the effort of trying again? This is very good insight. 

Not at 11 (wouldn't the be the very last spot though) but did try after failing at 5 there but it did not accept the score probably because my top score was "a better" 4.

Interesting! Getting a score of 11 (or higher) is how you "beat" the game. I should make that more obvious. 

Thank you again for all the replies, this has been very helpful. 

Yup, absolutely wasn't clear that was the goal. As normally lower scores were better...

And there we have it! 🎉 Kinda sucks that you have to intentionally lose to score...

You're awesome. This just made my day!!
Congratulations 🥳
