I'll try these out tomorrow and report back. (Gone to bed now)

This one works properly - thanks a lot Nifflas.

Yeah, I mean obviously I understand that bugs happen on PCs, or on any platform, and I'm sure you'll ultimately fix this one with your C++ build. My games have had their share of horrible bugs.
It's just a bit frustrating to me that you knew about this one in advance.
I don't normally get demos because it takes forever to download and install and uninstall them, and I feel like they spoil the experience of the full game. Surely I'm not alone in that regard. And I don't usually assume that 2D indie games will be technically impossible to run on my computer (and I don't recall it ever happening before).
Anyway, enough complaining, I just think it might be nice if you could just post some kind of note (under a system requirements page, for example) so people can see this before buying it. I'm sure this is why most games have a system requirements page.
To be clear, the game does start. It's just it takes up a tiny proportion of the screen. I updated the graphics drivers to the newest versions, and now I can't even set 640x480 anymore so there's literally nothing I can do about it.

If a game turns out to be bad or not entertaining, I agree there's no valid complaint if you didn't try the demo. But I think it's totally reasonable to assume a game won't be broken. I don't think we're at the point where you have to download and install a demo for every game just to make sure its fullscreen mode will actually fill your screen. And I don't think it's unreasonable to assume that a game you pay for will be able to work in fullscreen mode rather than in a tiny letterbox that fills 1/6th of the screen.
In my opinion you got a great game, and you'd be selling it short if you let this so called 'limitation' ruin your experience.
I'm sure it is a wonderful game, but I'm not going to play it when it's filling up 1/6th of my screen. My PC is plugged into a TV, and I just can't see the game at that size. That would absolutely ruin my experience!

This makes the game unplayable for me, since I have a widescreen 1920x1080 screen (like many people) and it only takes up about 1/4 or 1/6 of the space. To get the game to fill the screen, I have to set it to 640x480, but then everything is squished sideways which makes the physics problems artificially hard.
To be honest Nifflas I'm a bit annoyed that you were aware that this would be a limitation but didn't say so anywhere on the purchasing website. I would have held off on buying it, because as it is I just can't play it. There's no info about MMF or any future C++ build on the Nicalis website either.
Really looking forward to playing this game, which looks wonderful, once you've fixed the problems.
