pop-up info boxes are in an insane location
Posted: Thu Mar 14, 2013 4:48 pm
First off, so far i love the game! I'm only writing on this forum because I really like this product, and would like to see this sort of game be the best it can be, and encourage the production of more games like it.
Can you please explain why the pop-up info boxes (the ones that pop up when you are selecting something), are located to the lower right side of the objects that you are selecting. Well, that's a BIG problem for anyone who is right handed (that would be most of us), because it puts the info right under our hands. Unless you have an invisible hand, you can't see the info. I find myself having to crank my hand into a very unnatural position to see the info. For a noob like me who is trying to figure things out, I'm always trying to see the info boxes to get a better understanding of what's going on. Was there any testing done at all? It's UI 101 to make useful info easy for the user to digest. I would be greatly appreciative if this gets fixed. I'd change my 4 star iTunes review to a 5 star review.
