Well, I don't mind so much the save points, but the fact that dead enemies get resurrected is a major turn-off. I also hate it how I can't go above 1024x768 resolution. That wastes 977,568 pixels on my display. :( Still, that doesn't stop me from saying that I really, really like the game. It's well-executed except for the above two problems which I can live with for now. I'm very surprised, though, that Ambrosia's testers didn't give the creator hell for that, though. Oh my, yes.

Better yet, rather than having a fixed list of resolutions, discover them from the capabilities of the main display (presumably using I/O Kit or Quartz Services) and use that. And have separate resolution settings for windowed and full-screen modes, and default the full-screen resolution to the current resolution at first launch. Agreed.

Widescreen, please. Also: Why ship ONLY 4:3 resolutions on a platform where all computers that ship with built-in displays ship with 16:10 resolutions? Widescreen, please.
