OK, so it's time to bitch about some crappy things a bunch of OUYA games do, that can be fixed in next to no time!

1.5) If it's a menu, make every controller work even in multiplayer games except for character select or whatever!

2) Make 360 and PS3 gamepads work just as well as the OUYA gamepad. most people hear they work and don't buy extra OUYA pads.

3) at the very least leave important info away from that 10% non screen-safe area. all your text is half clipped for me you fucks! D:

3.5) pro-level stuff is have an option that lets me scale the screen-size to fit my TV (I coded this in 5 mins, if you can do it you should)

4) multiplayer games where you tell folk to press OUYA's home button... are you mad? if two controllers press it together it quits the game!

5) screenshots: QUIT LYING. your screenshot that is rendered on your high-end PC with shadows and 999 post-effects is nice, but it's a lie.

6) you know if somebody accidentally taps the touchpad it sends a mouse click event right, are you *sure* you meant to leave that bit in?

and finally, 7) double-check everything before you submit the game, you'll kick yourself when you see "press space" is still in the tutorial

SuperInputMapper.cs  http://pastebin.com/jcAEZMxk use instead of OuyaExampleCommon.cs for PS3 support and GetButtonDown() (bits are still WIP)

ScreenScaler.cs  http://pastebin.com/m8gu8BQd use to change screen size to avoid clipping at edges. call "ScreenSizeChange(0f)" to load & apply.
