E-limitator

<< < (2/2)

Pingaloka:
Since my negative review I'ved been in touch with "Arcade****.de" staff, and received help and advice from them.
While being kind of disappointed with e-limit at first, after receiving some tips from developer, gameplay effectivity has increased enourmosly.
I'm quite satisfied with elimit, although I will like to test it for a longer time, because it does have a functioning method, and gameplay does not behave exactly, as if you would play with a 4 way joystick.

PD: My thought to :OJ, maybe including the information I received from developer in your document instructions pdf, as it may save some trouble in the future. Guessing that if I had this information it would helped quite a lot.
Any how I will paste here a copy of email with developer's instructions:

Thanks again to "arcade***.de" staff, greetings,

This is no amount of voodoo witchcraft gadgetry that can beat a physically restricted 4-way stick.

releasedtruth:
Physically limiting a joy isn't an option for everyone so I've been curious about how effective the e-limitator is. Definitely an interesting concept, and for those that are pretty respectable with keeping away from diagonals, could make the difference. I may have to try it out sometime.
