    Did you read the instructions? You can change the controls – there’s actually 3 control schemes (keyboard, gamepad, cone) and you can set higher resolutions & full screen mode. Anyway, thanks for trying it out. I appreciate good and bad feedback.

  • kurtkz

    Did you read the instructions? There are actually 3 different control schemes – keyboard, gamepad & cone (like in EA cricket). You can also set the resolution & fullscreen mode in the options menu. I appreciate you taking the time out to at least try the game, but maybe try to give valid reasons when you critique it? I appreciate good and bad feedback, though, so thanks for your time.

    There are some doche bags here aren’t there Kurt?

  • kurtkz

    @DM: Haha, nah, I think it’s just a language thing. Hopefully I’ll get some time on the weekend to write up a manual. Maybe that’ll clear up some of the confusion?

  • statman

    Narendra… stop complaining about it. If you think you can do better, then make a better game. Quit yapping if you are not going to do something about it or learn to give constructive criticism
