I didn't like this one. max resolutuon is about 480 x 340 and even tho you can make it full screen in the options, this causes the super low resolution to be stretched and look even worse. My biggest gripe however was that I could NOT quit the game after going fullscreen, even canceling the game from task manager would not work and eventually I had to reboot my computer just to end the process.
