Just wanted to note that the patch is out and my vertical-capable monitor is very happy now :)
...But, uh, the in-game music is now failing to loop properly. About every 17 seconds it starts over. It gets even weirder when rubies are grabbed. How did this even get messed with? It's insufferable. Guess I'm waiting for ANOTHER patch to fix what this one broke :(
So THAT patch is finally out, and I can now play without my ears wanting to bleed.
HOWEVER. Now all the text is misaligned. "1UP" and "HI-SCORE" are cut off at the top of the screen; "CAST" and "SCORING" in the intro are half buried under the game logo; the coin count doesn't line up with the coin; other messages stick half a character height above the black-background box provided for them. Even Achievement messages are cut off.
There's "clearly didn't playtest for even half a minute", and then there's "clearly didn't even LOOK at the patched game before shipping it". It's beyond reprehensible - it's pitiable at this point. This game deserves better than this. I look forward to three months from now when this is patched and something even more obviously and immediately apparent is needlessly broken at the same time.
