I am looking at the game on an HD 1920x1080 screen and it looks terrible - I am not sure what resolution it is defaulting to (looks like 800 x 600 or possible even lower).
Is there any way to set the resolution to a higher setting (and preferably a WS setting)?

Does it by any chance look like this (http://cdn.steampowered.com/v/gfx/apps/212050/ss_90cd3c5f012ddc2fb3a7fbfc6cc063c76d9877d9.1920x1 080.jpg)

If it's the pixellated graphics that are bothering you, I'm afraid that's the way it was designed. Otherwise, here's how to change the screen size:
Right-click on the game in your steam library, select "properties", then "Set launch options", then type "--setup." Click OK and then run the game again. The game's setup window will launch, which will enable you to change the resolution.

Thanks - not perfect but at least running it with 4x anti-aliasing in a windows (1280 x 960) and smooth scaled sprites makes things look considerably better.
The default stretching to fit an HD screen looked truly terrible.
Right-click on the game in your steam library, select "properties", then "Set launch options", then type "--setup." Click OK and then run the game again. The game's setup window will launch, which will enable you to change the resolution.
Is it really two dashes in front of setup? That's unusual.
Thanks for posting this information. I think a sticky post containing this AND a warning not to use the Steam overlay or to task-switch while playing would probably be helpful to lots of people.
Just a suggestion! :)

Ignore.

Thanks. (small typo there, "--setup" without the dot :) )

I assumed I'd be able to resize it to a better resolution too. It's painful as it is now.
