Why does the "Fullscreen" option force my game into landscape mode?

Admin

the aspect ratio of your embed is used to set the orientation of the device. Which game is this, I can take a closer look to see if it's too aggressive (for example, you have a square game)

It seems to be isolated to Android Chrome. Using chrome dev tools and simulating a mobile device doesn't affect it strangely. Perhaps something to do with the Fullscreen API ?

Also just tried Firefox on Android and that's working correctly, so yeah it's an issue with Android Chrome

I noticed something similar and submitted this issue: https://github.com/itchio/itch.io/issues/881
