In terms of sound and GS games, do you prefer a slider to adjust sound levels or on/off?

In terms of sound and GS games, do you prefer a slider to adjust sound levels or on/off button?

Also, do you prefer to be able to turn off both music and sound effects? or just turn off the sound all at once?

JackSoft

Id say an on/off button for all sound. A mobile device will have its own volume control as will a computer. Just my opinion.

Thanks JackSoff (:0P)

makes things a bit easier, everyone else feel the same way?

I always use sliders.

In fact, my next game even has a slider for scanlines

QS =D

Why do you prefer sliders?

@BenMakesGames I much prefer a slider, I disagree with @JackSoft because you can also mute you iPhone.

I dislike music in mobile games so would always prefer a toggle switch in any game I play, they also take up less screen space.

Why do you prefer sliders?

Essentially to allow players to adjust the balance of Music Volume and Sound Effects volume to their preference.

That may not be important for all games, but personally I like to use music a lot, so I happen to think it's important that players can set the levels that they like.

Sound effects can be great a great signifier. Though I include visual cues too, players may prefer to have the sound effects slightly higher in volume than music, so they can hear the audio cues that mean something's been triggered.

Having a single button for music AND sound effects wouldn't work for most of my games I feel. Your mileage may vary of course!
