Works for me, but anyway Beat Hazard isn't the type of game that would be improved by proper multi monitor support, if anything it would be detrimental to the game.

Allow me to qualify that statement, Beat Hazard is largely a skill / twitch based game, your meant to react to the changes in the music and pace in order to win and score high. If you add multi monitor support you would spend half your time flying onto the other screens to get the mobs that spawned on them, this would reduce the pace of the game, also Beat Hazard is a game where "unfair advantage" would be a legitimate claim. The reason being anyone not having a multi monitor setup doesn't get much in the way of warning when mobs spawn or fire, someone with a multi monitor resolution would see the mobs way off, since the game is largely score driven this keeps a massive advantage to multi monitor users.

Yes, that I can understand. But what about a practice mode? I don't care about score, I wanna have fun. Since it's music-based, I like to see if I can finish a song more than get high scores. What matters is the fun. It's really fun for casual friends who come over to see it in 3 screens than it is to have them say "this is too hard, I can't see what's going on" and request another game.
