Notes - When the resolution on the X axis is lower than 1280, the game shrinks the size of game world graphics according to the X axis, not unlike Vert-.
- When the resolution on the X axis is 1280 or higher, the game world graphics no longer change size. The game functions like any 'pixel based' games. At maximum zoom, the game graphics now are the same size as their original assets (the TGA files in the 'art' folder).
