Don't miss the balls game - easy way to get text overlaid

Date: 01/08/2015

Don't miss the balls game (version 1.04)

Description:

This isn't a very serious bug, but since I spent several minutes today looking at another problem with this game that was apparently immediately fixed after I provided feedback via the Google Play store, I didn't feel like I could just walk away and not right a bug!

There's an easy way to get main menu user interface text overlaid on top over other screens.

Very specifically, the main menu of Don't miss the balls has a "?" option that brings up a "Simple is not easy!" tutorial text.

If the user coordinates pressing the "?" and the "1 PLAYER" option at the same moment, a "Chose up to 2 items" menu option will appear overexposed over the "Simple is not easy!" tutorial text.

This is much easier to show than to describe, so please just take a look at the attached screenshots.

Steps to Reproduce:

1.  Download and launch the Don't miss the balls game
2.  From the main menu, press the "1 PLAYER" and "?" options simultaneously

Result:  Pressing the "1 PLAYER" and "?" options simultaneously at the main menu of Don't miss the balls results in the "Chose up to 2 items" text being overlaid over the "Simple is not easy !" text

Expected:  Pressing the "1 Player" and the "?" options at the same time should not result in overlaid text



Download and launch the Don't miss the balls game on a Kindle Fire.


The main menu has a "1 PLAYER" and a "?" option.


Press the "1 PLAYER" and the "?" options at the same time.

The "Chose up to 2 items" text is overlaid over the "Simple is not easy !" text.
