Really appreciate your feedback. Yeah, I need to work on the collision detection. It's not quite right. Can you tell me more about what you mean about the wrong button? I'm not understanding. The UI is a bit complicated and I'd like to get it right.
The game shows "next (x)" at the bottom right, despite z being the button that continues text. In pico-8, that would be (o).
Thank you! Can't believe I got that backward! Will definitely fix. X is X. That should be easy to remember.
