I figured the game runs quite nicely in high-res mode if you shrink the screen one step down from the full screen size. At least, it's still better than the low-res full-screen version IMO.

I must also say that even though the controls are quite unorthodox compared to the mainstream contemporaries of CyberMage, they certainly aren't random or inconvenient, and I got kind of accustomed to them.
