@conmulligan: Cool, thanks!

I second @mojobones's request: Being able to go from fullscreen to PiP and back would be great.

I see that your update about a month ago fixed playback controls in full screen sometimes being disabled, but I am still having that issue. I'm on iOS 14.0 and have the most recent version of Bomb Cyclone but it happens to me with every video. I'm happy to provide more details if it helps.

Edit: as soon as I came to the boards to say something about this it seems to have resolved itself?

And thanks for maintaining such a good app!

I’m using Safari on an iPad Pro and all the fonts on the site are so tiny. I have to two-finger pinch to zoom in and then drag the page around. The comments section for videos is illegible normally.

Very cool, duders. Conceptually a lot of smart choices.

A few things I'd echo regarding UX:

• Carousels on touch devices would benefit from intertial scrolling
• It would be nice if you Grid view were an account-level saved preference (I'll almost always prefer it)
• Grid view option to sort first-to-last
• Can the header for the carousels on the home page function as links to those sections?

The carousels on smaller devices are tricky: on my iPhone 7 I feel like I'm really digging to browse what's in the carousels because they only show one and a half items at a time. And because I'm swiping so many times it's really easy to accidentally swipe from the edge of the screen (which activates Safari's forward/back navigation). It would be so much easier to navigate if they were just laid out in list like they are on the other video pages.

I use an 11-inch MacBook Air, which means I get the worst of display experiences across the web: treated like a desktop with the size of a tablet. Everything is huge on my display at 100% so two rows of carousels barely fit. I zoomed out to 75% and it helps the experience significantly.

I really like the way shows are organized and broken out into seasons. On the current site I could not begin to tell you how to browse to archived shows--I usually just google search to get to them. So this is a nice change. However, the deep pages of the video archives are difficult to browse. For example: I want to watch episode 104 of the P4: ER on my iPad. I tap the Videos menu, then tap Archived Shows. Then I tap the endurance run, then tap the Carousel/Grid dropdown, then tap grid. Then scroll to the bottom and tap the pagination dropdown, then tap the page. It would be nice if there were some way to reduce the number of clicks (maybe a grid/carousel toggle icon?) I can imagine if someone were going through the depths of the Quick Look archive they would spend a lot of time trying to find their place. (Though this probably isn't an issue for most users who aren't weirdos.)

Thanks for looking at all this feedback!

@thejhawk: Your game rules. I love the music and the dog sprites!

Play as @rorie, chomping your way across San Francisco.

I learned a lot about GameMaker during the project and what made it into the final game is probably only half of the stuff I worked on during the process. But like Sum 41 said, 'All Killer, No Filler.'

I'm darn near done. I've been slowly piecing the game together and getting the logic to work. I spent a bunch of time building parts of the game I eventually decided not to use, but I'm designing for a sixty-second duration so any fluff had to go.

@thejhawk: I am way into this.

Awesome, I never knew this existed. There's bound to be some wonderfully generic gold in here.

@ungratefuldead: Please to share this killer track once you're done!
