Um.. arrow keys?

Wed Apr 18, 2007 1:36 am

There's a big kerfuffle on the neoboards about some games not working, that use the arrow keys.
So, being the "yay right, my computer ALWAYS works" sort of person I am, I went and tried faerie bubbles and BAM..
The arrow keys wouldn't work :(

Anyone else having this problem?
Supposedly, IE works, but not firefox?

I just tried Faerie Bubbles and Snowmuncher on Firefox and the keyboard functions are working fine for me o_O

They're working again :D
I was mad for a few minutes there because I couldn't play any of my games.
But it's all better now. Wheww..

Arrow keys do not work in Bumble Beams right now.

And there's some sort of issue with freaky factory - every time I click on a blob, there's a delay that causes the game to freeze for a split second.

My guess would be something generally went wrong with the games today and they haven't figured out how to fix it, or even that something's wrong.

Meerca Chase II is down. No wonder the WC scores were so low :P

[EDIT] - Ok, that's weird. The arrow keys do work until you actually start playing. Pushing the arrow keys when it says "Press space to continue" goes through, but past that point nothing.

It's making me want to gouge my eyes out with a spoon, to be quite honest.

I haven't tried the games yet with keyboard controls. But all of a sudden, Suteks Tomb is acting strangely for me. When I click on the tile, there's a delay. It makes the game real choppy. The sound is also acting choppy. :x

Usuki frenzy isn't working for me and Shenkuu warrior was ungodly laggy.

This is very strange. My arrow keys worked yesterday! (I use Firefox.)

Today? Can't play the Usul Suspects because my arrows don't work.

So finally everyone else is experiencing what games have been like for me since January....It sucks...

Well now my other games have suddenly started to lag as well, rendering most of them unplayable.
