4.2.2.1: Additional way to retry level with "Ask On Game Over" feature enabled
Posted: Mon Jan 25, 2021 7:52 am
Heya folks, it's been some time since being here. I see that some stuff has been advancing, including new levelsets recovered from the Emerald Mine Club to play too. I've been trying out the newest version (since I stuck around 4.1.0.0, think I'll keep both versions active for now).
I notice there's a new feature "Ask On Game Over" under the "Game & Menu" section in the "Setup" menu. Pretty nifty stuff, helps lessen the friction, reducing the amount of seconds to just back into the game, retrying faster, that's pretty awesome.
What I noticed is that when dying, there's a prompt to ask whether I can retry again immediately. The thing is I'm so accustomed to pressing the Space Bar (which is the "Start Game & Toggle Pause" key function under "Key Shortcuts" > "Various Keys" section in the "Setup" menu) to retry the level again because of accessibility and out of habit of being the fastest way to retry the level at the time before this new prompt feature was added. In this instance, upon dying, I got to this prompt as per the settings, and I used the Space Bar, but it won't let me since the only way to retry the level again is only through the keyboard is by pressing the 'Enter' key. I mean, pressing the Escape key while on that prompt would let you go back to the main menu, why not have that for the "Start Game & Toggle Pause" key button too?
I'm not sure if this is classified as a new feature or a bug to be remedied; I put it here to hopefully get more attention.
