Advanced Display Settings Added (0.9.4 Update)

This update adds advanced settings in the display options. The defaults usually work for most players, but they are provided to give choices based on personal preferences and hardware.

STRETCH MODE - This setting was previously available and is mainly used to change the way the game scales in size on non-standard screen and window resolutions. If in full screen using a 1080, 1440, or 2160 screen, there will be no difference. On a 768 screen, for example, using Pixel Perfect will reduce the game to a smaller size based on an integer multiple of 360 (with black borders or wallpaper around it). To see this in effect, disable full screen, resize the window, then toggle this setting. It should also be visible on the Steam Deck's native resolution.

BULLET COLOR - The official way to play this game is to use red bullets for low elevation and yellow bullets for high. All art direction was based off of this combination. The Alternate color changes the high elevation from yellow to blue. The player helicopter, player bullets, and all air enemies also change their respective colors accordingly. It is provided as an option for those struggling with the default and is aimed at helping those coming from bullet hell games such as those by Cave. However, it may not shorten the the learning curve this game has. Do note that monitor settings such as saturation and contrast have a big effect on the appearance of colors as well.



VSYNC - Having this enabled makes the game attempt to match the refresh rate of the monitor. It is only useful with monitors above 60Hz and may make the game look smoother on such screens.

LOCKED 60 FPS - Having this enabled locks the game at 60 fps. If VSync is enabled, this is usually set to off, and vice versa. Locking it to 60 makes the game use less CPU than a higher rate and may improve performance on lower end machines. If enabled, it is advisable to lower a high refresh rate monitor down to the locked 60Hz in order to avoid choppy movement.

(Note to macOS users: Using VSync On and Locked 60 FPS Off is recommended for Ventura and above.)
