Case's Arcade Forum

Thanks Case!  I have noticed fewer "leaners" this morning.  And just a tip...in Opera GX i notice the "flashing" becomes more pronounced when i turn the radio on.  Do you think maybe I need more ram in my PC?  I have 8gb right now...

Thanks Stone...will see if I can figure out "incognito" window...full screen should be easy enough...

Case...at your suggestion...I installed the Opera browser last night.  It DOES seem to yield slightly smoother graphics when the confetti flies...and the confetti seems to clear the screen quicker.  It also seems that my power meter and aiming arrow are not affected as severely as with Google Chrome.  I DO...however still see the flashing anomaly regarding the borders/frames around each of the game frames across the top.  I also noticed that the frame around the "sound off" in the upper left corner...and the frame around the "X out" box in upper right corner both flash too.  The flashing is a minor irritating distraction while trying to focus on the power meter and aiming arrow.  The flashing is not in any sort of "rhythm" but flashes almost like morse code.  Hope this helps.....

Lowering the amount did not work for me. I have used google chrome and IE and a couple others with no change

Sadly...NO...the reduced amount of confetti DID NOT solve the problem.  Everything went into slow motion when confetti flew.  The aim arrow swung mind-numbingly slow...butch the bowler almost fell asleep before letting ball go...and could have fixed a sandwich in kitchen before ball got to pins.  So I'm casting my vote for a "confetti off" toggle...like the "sound off" toggle.  Or maybe replace it with a quick congratulatory popup for completing level.  The running joke in room 2 is that bowlers are slipping and falling due to confetti on floor.  LOL! 

Thanks for adding another voice to this one... I have reduced the amount of confetti that is gloriously thrown in the air after leveling up, you might need to reload the site for this change to take effect.   Perhaps we can see if that helps things?   I went through five or six levels and I didn't see any change in how my arrow was working.... I suspect this might be based on your browser and computer speed, etc.  So toning it down a little might help solve it.

I don't have an issue looking at adding an option to disable it if it continues to cause people problems but I'd rather get to the bottom of it so we can do other cool stuff without messing up the game.   There also may be a way I can auto-detect if people's computers can handle certain features and automatically disable them if we can figure out what's causing it.

Thanks,
Case

Thank you for reporting that issue!   It is certainly something that we can consider adjusting in the future.   May I ask what browser you are using?   Perhaps there is a bug that we can track down and fix.

We would like to do more special effects in the future (like for beating your own high score, etc) so it would be good to figure out what the issue is.
