How do you play Marble Blast?

I'll admit, I changed my way of playing. Instead of Full Screen window, I caught myself using for the last week the minimized window. I see no difference between the two. Probably because I'm not looking at the sides so I think it just cuts them off. Anyway, it didn't change my way of playing at all.
So yeah, are you using Full Screen or Minimized Window?
Edit: Also, who did I catch off guard with that heading ;) Bet I didn't know how to play? lol.

And I almost thought for a moment that Chevy Mac was impersonating you until I remembered, he would say "How I can play MarbleBlast??"

I was using minimized window until recently, but I'm switching back to fullscreen mode. That way I won't have to squint to aim right.And I almost thought for a moment that Chevy Mac was impersonating you until I remembered, he would say "How I can play MarbleBlast??"

I used to play with a 640x480 window, minimized of course. Then I use the keyboard for the camera controls.

OK, fullscreen wasn't working so back to 640x480 minimized. I use the trackpad (this being a laptop) to move the camera, except for up and down, which I use the keys for. (I have only one button, and slash/click is such a hassle for freelook. Actually freelook itself is a hassle.)

I use 1024x768 minimized, because I always have a ton of other things on...

My monitor is 1024x768 so I can't have the 1024x768 setting minimized.

Same here, I'm on 1024*768 with my monitor. So I play 800*600 on minimised.

1280*854. I use Fullscreen with those dimensions, and trackpad with freelook on.

For the problem with the laptop, you can use E for free look. That's the default on the mac at my school

I use the trackpad and the keys alternatingly for camera. Even with sensitivity at its lowest, the pad is still too sensitive for subtle movements. I tried using a mouse but it was too awkward, as I kept using the mouse to move the marble and the keys to move the camera instead of vice versa. I never use freelook either.

Oh, and Bobby, maybe you should try the w a s d configuration - I'm also left-handed, and it works WAY better.

I have a laptop as well as desktop, and I have free look enabled on both... You have to get used to using the trackpad - it's very sensitive, true.Oh, and Bobby, maybe you should try the w a s d configuration - I'm also left-handed, and it works WAY better.

I did try switching back to WASD to move the marble, and I keep using those keys to move the camera and vice versa. I guess I'm more right handed computer-wise.

I use WASD movement, with permanent free look, inversion.
I use SPACEBAR for jump and L-SHIFT for power-up.

Minimized screen, all the defaults

Yes, Matan, the heading did startle me a lot, I was like, What the heck? Just like with your "I need help on some levels" thread in the Hint Book forum. (LOL!!!!) :)
