Thanks!
The zoom mechanic was intentional like that, as I used to have mechanics where you could zoom out and stay out. What I found was it was too convenient to stay zoomed all the way out but then player's would miss interactions and not be able to tell what was going on. So it might be controversial, ha, but it was a decision I made. Also, the pixel art looks better when not zoomed out, ha.
Thanks for playing and the feedback!
