The accessibility mode in the trailer looked more like a bad joke, if I’m honest. Can anyone comment first-hand on its usefulness/effectiveness, and what it tackles?
From my personal experience the accessibility mode is really effective: text does not flash, most of the particle effects and color cycling are toned down. I'm switching between the two modes depending on my room light condition and eye strain throughout the day. Hope this helps!
“accessibility mode” 8O :lol:

Given that dropping bombs resets chains, I think it's pretty much a requirement to uncouple them for serious scoreplay.

Is there mouse/trackball support in this? I have noticed the mouse buttons are mapped but not the cursor.

Yes, both should be fully supported.

A review I just read on the Steam Store described it as a cross between Missile Command and Every Extend Extra. Two games I absolutely love, so I can't wait to get my hands on it!

See... I get why that's the case, but I'm currently playing Thumper better now than I could have ever anticipated!

I'm sure that Space Giraffe just needs me to learn to see again. I managed it twice with Dyad, so I'm sure I can meet the Giraffe on its level ;)

Ah, bugger - sorry to hear that.

If you're able, give Moose Life a go in VR - I found that to be revelatory :)

At least the chemo (Google Vismodegib) I’m on now keeps the skin cancers away, so I shouldn’t lose anymore eyelids. 8O

First attempt, got to level 13, and then died.

Obviously don't get hit but do I have health? Do I lose a pod when I'm hit, or is there another meter?

I guess Windows 10 minimum is a certainty..?
You are NOT going to tell me people are still running Win7/8.1 ???
Sadly I've still not got around to updating my PC yet.

But are you in any control of getting the Steam Store page updated because that says Win7 64, Win8.1 64 and Win10 64 but 8.1 crashes on start.

Sadness. I bought it Wednesday on the VCS, got my order confirmation, but it doesn't show as purchased. This is the second time the VCS store didn't acknowledge my order. Atari was very good about activating it, so I just have to wait a bit.

Btw Giles/Jeff, I am planning a trip to London late April/Early May to visit family and would love to make a pilgrimage to that curry house Jeff used to post about on Twitter. I emailed Jeff about it a while back, but is there any chance we could meet up?

Repeat the question again with more specific dates and places and send a copy to me too, I'll see what we can do :)

BTW I have absolutely NO IDEA about the VCS store, I know NOTHING about it !
