The Pause Is Ruining my levels

[icuurd12b42]

I'm doing great, I pause with space and hit space to unpause and boom level trerminates... bad design of ui interaction there

Hi icuurd12b42, that's not what's supposed to happen. Can you confirm or reproduce that you activated 'stop level' by hitting the space bar to unpause? Thanks.

Apart from this: it appears that more players find the pause menu not logically designed, so we'll take a look at it!

it happens mainly when in a "Oh ♥♥♥♥" moment

It's a little unnerving to test this :). I think it's tied with mouse interactions in paralel... My early report is more what I though happened

Try pausing while you have the mouse pressed and releasing the mouse... Or unpausing and clicking the screen before the pause goes away

Ok, we'll test now.
You could try when playing a single game by the way. That won't mess with your campaign.

We think we have it.
All the buttons have a clickable area MUCH larger than the actual buttons. So if you click on the wood you are going to use a button.
Try it out and get back to us.
We'll put it on the to do list.

I suggest you click the button on mouse down as opposed to mouse release if I ever pause while the mouse is down, like laying a pipe, and the mouse is on the end level button and I release the button that's when I get the premature ending of the level... Worst time this happened it quit, tanks full of black gold... put me at -40000.

At the very least you should actualy have a confirm quit dialog there... a number of times the pause screen has appeared out of the blue as well with my big fingers hitting the C (for scan scan) on the kb... Big finger hitting the space as well

Thanks, great feedback. We'll get to fixin' it!
