Note: Seems like I broke the game with a quick update I did this morning. It’s all fixed. Clear your browser cache and try again.
Let’s enjoy the Bass Abyss levels with new video modes!
Switching to Widescreen
Just access to the venerable Bass Abyss screen as usual. Down there is the combo box were you can select the available video modes. Hit Go and you’re done. A full reload of the page will happen so be sure to not lose any progress mistakenly. For your convenience, you can also switch between the Turbo and Normal speed with the same click.
Switching to Vertical Dual Screen
The process is the same. For a Nintendo DS like experience! If you have a widescreen monitor at 1440×900, I could play at the 2x resolution with Firefox 3. Just hit F11 for fullscreen and the “two vertical screens” will fit in the window.
More crazy video modes
Okay guys I can’t possibly test all the possible video resolutions, that’s why there are listed just a few ‘standard’ ones. Weird stuff might happen, some levels might even break, it’s all part of the fun. Anyway, until I’m done doing some heavy testing and patching, I know you can hack your way easily to try any resolution you want. Just look at the pattern in the address bar, everything is there.
This stuff has been wired in the code base for years, I just didn’t have the time to properly expose it in a friendly interface. You might have seen some demo of the widescreen mode here, but honestly this feature comes from way back. I’d loved to release new levels, but for a quick update to show that I’m alive this will have to do for now. Remeber you saw it here first.
Ugh, the previous update was on July 13 2008. So is this Bass Abyss upgrade the result of 8 months? Of course not. I barely started to work again in this project two weeks ago. As I said to some friends I expected to be free on March 2009 (let’s just not talk about December 2008). Fortunately nothing interrupted me t his time and voilá, the update is here. Enjoy!
