The resolution of the WebGL player doesn't allow me to see the whole game.  Could you edit your game page and adjust the resolution?

Developer(+1)

Yeah, sure. Sorry about that

I'm not sure how to do anything other than pick up the phone and open one app. How am I supposed to return to the home screen?

Developer(+1)

Hey, sorry for the late response. there is supposed to be a button on the bottom that allows you to return to the home screen

Ah, I had to go full screen. Not sure why I didn't think of that earlier..

On my first play through, I got the second phone and ended up getting stuck on one of the messages (the back button wasn't working), I tried everything I could think of but I couldn't get it to work .
On my second play through I got stuck at "What's Him's favorite number" I hadn't dug through everything on the phone (I assume it's somewhere in there), so I wasn't sure what it was and couldn't find a way to progress.

While it does seem to have some issues, I think the overall idea is fantastic. I enjoyed the twist after the second phone and was interested to see where it was going.

Feedback:
- I think the One Man Army splash screen either needs to be faster or skipable. It takes a while, and feels tedious when trying to test the game multiple times.
- I thought the walk to find the suspect was a little long and unclear. There were a couple of times I almost turned back because I thought maybe I was going the wrong way or had missed something. I did make it, so maybe it's not that big of a deal, but I'd think some indication that the player is headed in the right direction would be welcome.
- For itch specifically, it seems Zero Service needs to be played in full screen, so if you can force it into full screen that might alleviate some frustration from players (like myself) who fail to set it to full screen themselves.

Alright, thanks for the feedback. I'll try to fix it sometime. Thanks for playing it

Hi! The game needs a lot of UI improvements. For example, [Intercepted Call] message has the black font on the black background, and makes the game freeze (lack of "Back" input).
