Thanks for playing and especially for the valuable feedback!
I cant say how happy I am to read that "it ran flawlessly" on someones machine. Struggled with the performance for quite some time now, so its a big relieve to see it working out finally.
As for the darkness: it's just semi deliberate, so i will adjust it depending on feedback like yours to find the middle ground.
Great find on the bug too! This lead me to some other bugs for the char creation that are associated with the text input.
