Not really sure if it's worthy of the Multi-Monitor grade B. The whole game is Anamorphic which leads to the part of the outer monitors being blacked out with 16:10 monitors. Can't test it with 16:9 but it should be OK there.

Due to the nature of the game it's still playable though so I'm not really sure on how to grade this correctly.

Unfortunatley no, it's the same on 16:9, some of the game "bleeds" onto the side monitors, I have changed the DR to C for Multi-monitor issues as although playable and a fun game the "bleed" bugs the hell out of me after a while

Thank you for the update. :thumbup:

I've already finished it. Really cool game even though it's quite short (~3 hours).

Does it get any harder? the first 10 levels or so were very easy

Not really to be honest. I think only one or two are a bit harder, most of them are easy. I guess if you only look at the puzzle-platformer part of the game it's really quite weak.

Personally I really like the story (at least the first part, the second felt a bit tacked on) and I'm quite fascinated by what a good narration can do to some simple rectangles. Another strong point is the music which I would really recommend for everyone. The soundtrack can be bought here (you can also listen to it there for free I think): http://thomaswasalone.bandcamp.com/
