Can we use Text to display buttons on menus, or to display score?
No Unfortunately not. However, displaying numbers are allowed so if your score is numeric, go ahead
Wait we are supposed to tell a story??? like an actual story??? or just a game for the sake of a game??? the more I dig around in comments here the more confused I'm getting here sigh...???
No. A story is not required. Just have no text in your games. The devs do however recommend incorporating some form of story into the game.
