Downloaded Aquaria as soon as I'd heard it was released; what a beautiful game.

However, since the entire thing is mouse driven and my desk doesn't have room for a mouse, I'd like to be playing it with my Wacom Intuos tablet. I gave it a shot, and it works great except that the cursor can't move into the top third of the screen.

Anyone have advice for configuring or tweaking a tablet to work with gaming? I've read that the tablet driver eats CPU, but hopefully for a smaller game like Aquaria that won't matter so much. Tried contacting Ambrosia support to see if they had any insights, and this is officially not supported so no help from them.

Thanks for any thoughts or help in advance!

Sadly, no advice came my way. Fortunately, I am self-sufficient.

Turns out for me, at least, that switching the screen resolution from full resolution to the next step down at my aspect ratio fixes the problems with the tablet. Oddly, relaunching the game sometimes makes the problems show up again, but they can be fixed by switching to the highest resolution and then back down.

And let me say, playing Aquaria with a tablet is fantastic. Wouldn't use a mouse if you paid me.

Can you pay me to use a mouse? I do anyway, but a little bonus pay would be great, thanks!

Excellent game, in any case.
