- Requires Windowed mode for custom resolutions
- Custom resolutions should not be set to resolutions smaller than 1024x768
By default, the game renders at 1024x768, but by editing the two numbers screenmode.txt
the resolution can be manually changed. The first number is the width, the second number is the height. While the menu and UI elements don't change in size, gameplay will be rendered at any resolution given by screenmode.txt
, meaning GBWG can be run in 4K and ultrawidescreen resolutions. Note that when in Fullscreen mode, screenmode.txt
is deleted and the resolution returns to default.
The main menu in 1920x800. Note the menu remains constant but the background fills out the rest of the screen.

The main menu in 640x640. Note the menu is cut off because the window resolution is smaller than that of the menu's.

Gameplay in 640x640. While still playable, UI elements now overlap.

Input settings
