Solo dev building a game in C instead of using Unity like a normal person. Made Impaler.

Flying enemies? There's a good trick to take them down!

@Esty8nine I'm eager to get your thoughts on the new Impaler mode - patch should be landing in the next hour!

I would consider it somewhat experimental. Not sure how people are going to receive it. But at least it's free!

[Apptivus @apptivus]

@fuGue_tv Awesome - I hope you enjoy it, Dadge. We have a HUGE update coming out soon. You'll need to give it another spin when it lands!

P.S.
As a dev, it's a gift to receive such thoughtful bug reports from players. Thank you for investigating 🦾

[Apptivus @apptivus]

@fuGue_tv Sorry for the spam - X wants to charge me money for a long response 💀.

The last thing to keep in mind is that I wrote this game from scratch in C / OpenGL - I'm interfacing with mouse input at a fairly low level. So there is significant opportunity for error 😃

[Apptivus @apptivus]

@fuGue_tv What mouse / mouse software do you use? I'd be happy to investigate a bit.

Lastly, what window mode do you use? Might be worth checking exclusive vs borderless to see if the behavior is different.

Feel free to catch me on discord

[Apptivus @apptivus]

@fuGue_tv What I can confirm is:
- there is no mouse acceleration code in the game
- I have not received any other reports of this from other players
- the mouse input is implemented via GLFW

That being said, I agree something is messed up here.

[Apptivus @apptivus]

@fuGue_tv Thank you for the video, Dadge - what you show here indeed looks like mouse acceleration being applied. This is the same test I would have performed. I have no explanation for this.
