This text is frankly illegible and makes it very akward and annoying to play. It looks like this text has no defined color, which means my browser uses the system default. Also, when launched through Itch, I can't get past the first image. I can click the image, but the rest of the ui doesn't unfold at all, like it should.
- Interesting, that weird text glitch again. What browsers / platform are you using? I will add a default text colour next update. (Using any other browser in the meantime should resolve the problem, which can be used as a workaround. Every major browser renders fine on my machine, making a fix hard to test)
- On the app not starting: can you open the dev tools (Ctrl-shift-I on most browsers) and find out what errors are in the console?
Firefox, Windows 8.1, high contrast theme with custom colors to give the 8.1 ui I dark theme. Sometimes firefox uses this (even when I tell it not to), which can cause issues with pages with any kind of undefined color anywhere on the page.
Here is what it looks like when I open it with edge:
How do I open the dev tools when launched through itch?
Right, you are playing it in a version of the Chromium browser then (A portable open-source browser). It seems itch.io disables the Dev tools. You can try removing the game and reinstalling, if that does not work you can try locating the files and opening them in a different browser to see if it is just Chromium behaving weirdly
I launched the game on Firefox, Edge, the Itch App, and now also Chromium.
The Itch app is the only one that doesn't go past the first picture. Even chromium can progress normally.
The colors are normal on Firefox.
Edge and Chromium inherit the system palette still, which may or may not be desirable. At least it's perfectly legible.
such strangeness was had?
