How can i change it's resolution?
When i press alt enter it turns into fullscreen but with huge black borders around it. It doesnt seem to have any options too, Is there any launch options to change it like Braid have?

There is a option menu, if you press F1, but I don't remember any resolution options there.

If i press alt enter the resolution remains the same, it will only fill the screen with black borders.

Sounds like a setting needs to be changed in your video card menu. If you have an Nvidia card open the control panel. Select "Adjust desktop size and position" and under number 2 select either "aspect ratio" or "full screen" and "override the scaling mode set by games".

I may have found a solution sort of. I have my tv plugged into the graphics card, as well as the regular pc monitor.

When the Tv is on, dispaying my pc screen, i cant fullscreen. When its just my monitor it auto full screens.

edit: or I should say alt enter full screens the game

I have an integrated intel graphics card. I don't know how to configure it but I don't have this problem with other games.

That setting's usually in the actual monitor/display device's menu -- the choices are usually full screen (stretch to fit), full screen (keep ratio), and the black borders; the latter must've been set as the default. There should be an option to change it from the monitor/TV's settings page.

Thank you very much Reives, it worked now.

I'm having the same issue with the large black border when running full screen, only this is on my Dell laptop so I don't have the option to stretch to full screen. :( Is there anything I can do? I've heard so many great things about this game so I really want to play it, however it's practically unplayable in its windowed size (which looks like 640x480).

I'd be really greatful if you can help!

Reviving an old thread, thanks Butr0sButr0s. This is a really helpful tip and the only one that helped me escape the stretched full screen, since my monitor (and I suspect many) does not have an explicit option to set aspect-ratio and full-screen options when connected through HDMI cable. This game natively runs on 4:3 and when running on 16:9 (like 1920x1080) will probably appear stretched in full screen mode

To recap the steps, *if using an NVIDIA card*
1. Open NVIDIA control panel
2. On the left hand navigation pane, click Display > Adjust desktop size and position
3. Under 'Apply the following settings' > Scaling tab
4. Note/ write down the 3 options you are about to change, to revert whenever needed.
5. Set 'Aspect ratio' as scaling mode
6. Set to 'GPU' the 'perform scaling option' (this is in addition to original suggestion)
7. Set to checked the 'override the scaling mode set by games and programs'

Launch 'To the Moon' It should now in 4:3 in full-screen mode now if it previously wasn't. Hope it helps a few.

Please help - game in fullscreen goes beyond viewport so I can see only 3/4 of the game screen. What I can do and where I can change resolution settings?

I've got the same problem, did you find a solution ? PC games should always have the option to change res because there are so many different set ups.

A lot of these solutions are about running the game fullscreen. When I launch it it's fullscreen automatically, but the resolution is too low. Is there no way at all to get this game in 1920x1080? Will setting resolution in launch options work? Anything?
