Death Dice Overdose is an interesting game, but it would make more sense to put the mute button somewhere BEFORE the game, since you need to constantly need to pay attention INSIDE of it.
You are wrong about quality settings. Flash quality is essentially FSAA. The way it works is it renders the complete stage at 2x resolution (4x pixels) for medium and 4x resolution (16x pixels) for high, and then scales it down. Even when no vectors are used, low quality will perform better. This isn’t mere conjecture; go ahead and actually try it …

Even when no vectors are used, low quality will perform better. This isn’t mere conjecture; go ahead and actually try it before saying what does and does not make a difference. Flash games should never force a player to swallow 4x FSAA just because the developer happens to have a fast computer and doesn’t see the point of a quality option. Regrettably, though, many Flash games do exactly that. Incidentally, you might want to fix your keypress handling if you want SkullFace to have better ratings. Alternatively, you can just assert that I have a chip on my shoulder. I’m okay with that.
Thanks for the info but quality has no bearing on a Stencyl game, which renders the graphics in sprite-sheets as bitmaps. This isn’t mere conjecture; go ahead and actually try it before saying what do…
Thanks for the info but quality has no bearing on a Stencyl game, which renders the graphics in sprite-sheets as bitmaps. This isn’t mere conjecture; go ahead and actually try it before saying what does and does not make a difference. (right click > show profiler > right click > low quality > look at the fps)
Why you’re sending me an aggressive sounding pm after reportedly completing the entire game with A+ medals is beyond me.

You were right. I was wrong. I didn’t know quality settings could be accessed through the profiler. Using that, I observed zero difference across quality levels. There may have been optimizations to the Flash renderer, because what I said used to be true, even for purely bitmap graphics, even with engines like Flixel and Stencyl. That said, there are still plenty of vector Flash games with no quality settings. If my message came off as aggressive, it’s because I’ve become increasingly dismissive of people’s dismissiveness. I wouldn’t have bothered leaving a shout if I hated your game. I enjoyed SkullFace, but I would enjoy it much more if its controls were better. The biggest problem is the inability to queue an action by pressing and holding before you land, and it just doesn’t feel fair to die because an action didn’t register. A lesser problem is that the sticky wall jumping system is unresponsive and unforgiving, though I understand how the levels are designed for that.
On SkullFace please make it so that if you hold “down” while in the air it instantly starts to roll when you land – it’s far far too frustrating as it is.
