is this game 4:3 screen ratio only? No 16:9 ?
Looking at the pics I see screenshots with 4:3 ratio only, and some filler left and right.
So my question is will be 16:9 monitors supported as well?

The game only takes place on a 4:3 space (for gameplay reasons, arenas would've been too wide if it was 16:9), but all kinds of monitors are supported. The filler you see left and right will appear if you play on a aspect ratio other than 4:3.

thats bad new. how can a arena be too wide?
I thought this is a 4 player local co-op game, so the bigger the better!

Also if you advertise this as a "true couch co-op game" I think modern TVs should be supported. And all TVs sold in the last 15 years are 16:9. Not to support them is just lame.

Just to be clear, the game absolutely does support 16:9 TVs (and all other resolutions). It simply draws filler art on the edges and keeps the gameplay area at 4:3. As mentioned above, this was done for game design reasons. Sorry if this upsets you but I assure you, a larger play area was not better in this case :)

Hello Matt. I've noticed the filler art only covers enough for a 16:9 monitor. It doesn't affect gameplay, but elements that are supposed to be hidden from view are still visible since the filler art doesn't cover them. Here's a screeshot: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1917650890

It doesn't affect gameplay at all but does look a bit ugly so I'm reporting it in case you may want to fix it.
