As the title says. Reading tips is hard, because the level is loaded before I finish reading the text. I think the developers should make a patch which will allow you you to either click a button or press any key to continue.

Hey there!

The tips are usually the same informations that are displayed in the tutorials, we placed them in our loader just to somehow occupy players during the loading time.

While we really appreciate your feedback, I think that clicking a button every time the game loads would be annoying and pretty wearing.

Cheers,
Tom

Thanks for your help.

However, I found a bug on achievement screen. Some achievements have incorrect descriptions (for example - "Ratoid - Odblokuj Klocki Elektryczne" in Polish). The same happens in every other language except English (everything is OK here, because, it says "Ratoid - Unlock Ratoids Feature".

Also, Play/Pause/Fast-Forward mechanics could be improved by doing one of two following things:
1. Letting out the mice (play) button should turn into the pause button, like in most video players. The fast-forward should be the other button.
2. Keep the current settings (play turn into fast forward), but allow pausing the game before letting out the mice. This could be useful on levels with Ratoids.

If possible, I would prefer a settings-option where you can enable or disable such a button. Those (like me) who like to read the messages can then enable this button and have enough time to read and fully understand what to do while loading. While those who do not want/need that information can just disable the button.

Would that be a viable solution?

Having text disappear while I am reading it is far, far more annoying.

Also, the keyboard shortcuts for MouseCraft are not listed in the game options. Heck, they aren't listed anywhere on the internet, either. And a request for the shortcuts list on your own forums has gone unanswered for months. The only way to get them now is to replay the first several levels, which is irksome.

Apart from the above, I'm really enjoying your game. It's terrific.

I completely second that opinion!

Concerning the game hints: I have the impression that this happened only the first time I launched the game. Later on (and now) it seems better (but still a PITA). BTW: My platform is OS X 10.7

Anyone out there who can post a keymap? Should come with the game download though (hello GOG folks!).

Besides all that nagging the game is a lot of fun.
Combining the ideas from Tetr*s and Lemm*ngs in one game is really brilliant!

Hi mkie, after I complained, I went back through much of the early game and wrote them down. I could easily have missed one, but I think this is largely complete:

THX a lot for your work and posting the information! :)
