AG should add a &quotlay fullscreen" button to their site or something.

I wanted to play GemCraft CS fullscreen.
Following a guide in the forum, I opened cache.armorgames.com/... for fullscreen gameplay. However it didn't find my online save. I had to retreat to my "box".
It's really a pain playing a dark-themed game with white background.
I just wonder is that technically difficult?
Or is there any workaround?
I'm using Google Chrome.

really disappointing since it looks so much better in full screen and it cant be that hard since i've seen quite a few other sites that have that option, but i could just be completely wrong here

as a side note most browsers will let you zoom in on the page and if you Google "turn off the lights" followed by a browser name you can find an app that lets you fade the page except flash files (maybe others as well) into black. that will get you somewhat close to the full screen at the cache link

This depends on the game, we're looking into this however.

I'm moving this out of Flash Gaming.

I'm thinking the quality of the game would dip at a higher resolution though.

Man, we've been requesting this for years and years.

I don't know that I would use full screen, but I do enjoy 'cinematic mode.'

It's not an easy feature unfortunately. Every game is very much different.

The option rests on the developer to include in the programming of the game and has nothing to do with the hosting website... There are a few stretch options like described above but as you can see it has its own problems :/

It depends on the game. It's like meeting someone really attractive, there's a chance that its gonna be the closer you get, the uglier. Most times games don't adapt to zooming in for the same reason there's no fullscreen, because they were made for it.

this forum post solves the problem lovely. "Gemcraft CS: best browser to play"
Basically you you add a ? after the .swf and the info from flasvars. logs you into the cached version
