Hello, thanks for playing!
What do you mean you can't change settings via in-game options? I never encountered an issue with those, did you validate your changes by going all the way down and use the "Accept" option? If you just pressed the "B" button, you cancel your changes.
Thanks for your suggestions.
1) Well, that's what I wanted to do initially but GameMaker doesn't allow that natively. I have since then discovered an extension that might do the trick, so I'll know how to make this easier in future projects.
2) Yep, that could be nice improvements.
3) Yes, the controller was implemented at the very, very last minute and I didn't have a controller at hand to test most of it beforehand.
I take good notes of your suggestions for future projects, as this one is considered finished on my end.
Above all, what did you think of the game? Did you enjoy it? Any good points to make about it? Thanks! :)
