Settings

Settings are a menu component that allows the player to adjust certain technical aspects of the game they are playing. Settings appear as a small gear coloured accordingly to the game's theme, this gear placed at the top right side of the screen. First introduced with Super Snot Put, settings serve as the successor to the pause, music, and sound effects option buttons.

Overview
Settings are the successor to the options buttons. In each game, clicking the settings gear will cause a small box to open up and everywhere outside the box to be darkened. This box contains buttons that can be clicked. Although some games may have additional buttons, across all games that use settings, it will always contain a music button, sound effects button, and resume button.

Some games may add other buttons based on the different functions that game has. With its introduction in Super Snot Put, Nitrome has moved to including the settings gear in all games instead of the option buttons. Although they have decided to do this, games released prior to Super Snot Put will not have their option buttons replaced with settings. The settings gear is present at all times of the game, and can be clicked at any time.

The settings in the settings gear will change based on where in the game the player is. For example, clicking the settings gear wile viewing the game's startup will have only the "Resume" button inside the box, but when the gear is clicked on the menu, it will contain the "Resume" button plus the Music and Sound buttons.

Buttons
Button are contained inside the box that pops up when the settings gear is clicked. Buttons have a name and an image to accompany this name.

Music
Represented by a ♫, the Music setting allows the player to toggle the game music on or off.
