I struggle to use the gooball cursor. Please add an option for a normal cursor like the chapter 1 preview had; it's far easier to work quickly with that.

Also I get bad tearing on my LCD screen, can you add an option for vsync as forcing it in ATI Catalyst doesn't work.

Thanks!

I agree on the cursor. It looks cool, but the movement seemed to be slower and heavier.

Hmm... although I have been using it for a while (with beta2), I don't seem to notice much difference. And it looks cool :P

I'd like to also see options for different screen resolutions and aspect ratios;
I'm on a 16:10 1680x1050 native monitor which refuses to display games in 4:3 - simply stretching them instead - so I'm stuck with misshapen circles.

The new cursor I cannot stand, it seems far less accurate than before - I never had the problem of being unable to select goo-balls and accidently clicking time flies before in the pre-order demo. I

t is only with this big clunky cursor that selects everything I have the problems, it should at least be optional for those of us that can notice :(

I have a 16:10 monitor & everything looks fine to me.

I hate the new cursor - compared to the preview one which worked really well. I also find that it can make seeing the gooballs behind it harder.

Please give an option for the old cursor.

OK played some more - the new cursor is growing on me :) To the point it doesn't bother me and with the option to turn it off I probably wouldn't

The cursor is fine when playing at a resolution like 1280x800 or 1920x1200 since it is much smaller and takes up about 1/5 of a gooball. If only I could play at those two resolutions then my desktop and laptop would be made.
