Well, I was both baffled & fascinated by a game I've never seen before, thanks for getting it on the scoreboard, Joe. :) No violation of rules that I could see & the score it good.

On a side note: I'd preferred to have seen the operating system before the game started loading just so we get some idea of what OS & potentially a hint at what else might be running in the background (regardless of how unlikely it would be obvious).

Yeah I can't get OBS to make good shots of my whole monitor yet. No matter what it gives the high encoding error and recording almost stops completely. I suppose a few seconds of at least opening Steam and all that could work at least as a supplement though.

But yeah dude this game is I think the best mix of RNG and skill. It's tough to get the hang of and there's some tricky tricks to learn but it's really rewarding. And this was the easiest difficulty too ;_;

Ah, so it was Steam-initiated but you have the in-game chat thing turned off. Any hint that it was a Steam-installed version of the game would give it far more credibility [for not the game having not been interfered with] than a straight-run game, IMO.

I'd pick the game up if it weren't for my backlog of untested games. I'll definitely look out for it in a future charity bundle (great way to get old games via Steam, Desura and occasionally EA's Origin).

The little Steam chat window thing does pop up on start, but for some reason OBS doesn't capture that as being in the active window. I think it might consider it part of the Steam application so it doesn't catch it. I'm sure there's something to fix that though, maybe like drawing a section of the screen to capture like other programs have.

I didn't consider that. Yeah, the Steam window isn't a "normally behaved" window so now you mention it, that does make sense! :( Another possibility: did you ask OBS to capture a specific window (I'm not even sure if that's an option for OBS but it is for other apps)? If so, then that could be an alternative reason. Still, the footage is good which is what counts. :)

It was set to "game capture" which is probably just a slightly different setting than "window capture," so yeah that was what happened. I'll look into other methods for getting better footage since I really hope this game takes off.

There was another program I tried before OBS that you could just draw an outline around what you wanted to record. That method could capture Steam, startup and the whole game along with keeping the framerate from plunging into the abyss. Glad at least some people at looking at it though - the soundtrack alone is 11/10 hype

I normally like to be pretty skeptical and strict, but all things considered I have no problem accepting. Unless of course you want this rejected so that you can enter a more thorough evidence packaged one.

Oh no I personally have no problems with this. Just musing on how to improve it. If this was presented to me I'd accept it, at least.
