Ah! I think the UI scaling for the game is acting up. I tried playing on a few different machines and it cuts off the image about halfway. I zoomed in on my PC and it revealed the rest of the play area but the scaling on the UI objects were still off I think. It made it hard to interact with, sadly. Are you planning on fixing it? I'd love to give it a try.
I can second this, I am also having some difficulties with UI and input! (I find that getting play to work well in browser embeds can be tough for things like jam games with short turnarounds, or high-concept stuff that gives little room for stress-testing!)
Either way, I dig the idea, balancing between realism and optimism to get by!
