I can't get past the character selection screen. It says 'Press Start' but whatever key I press, nothing happens. I'm on Linux.

Hey! 

Do you play on Steam or with the file download from Itchio? Try the Steam version if it's not already the case (you can retrieve a key via itchio) I'm not sure where the problem can come from, I haven't had any other feedback like that but it's probably linked to the Linux version indeed, sorry for the inconvenience!

I’m playing with the downloaded file. I now tried on Windows. Same problem. What is the Start key? I press space on all screens before and that works. But on the charactrer selection screen it does nothing.

To navigate in the menu you can use the "enter" key to validate, and "escape" to cancel.

For the character choice menu it is different because you have to use the controls assigned to the players, the key to press is normally indicated on the respective panel of each player.

You can also play with a gamepad, and change the keyboard controls in the "controls" menu

That doesn’t help. I know how to select and confirm a character. Same for my co-player. But then how do you start? Press start. What is start on that screen. Neither space nor enter works and the keys for the resp. player just affect the character panel for that player. They do not start the game.

All the characters must be ready (with the button at the bottom) then a message appears saying that the game can be started, you must press "enter" or start on gamepad at this time

I have two characters ready. Is that not enough? Can you only play the game with four? The message appears after two characters already but pressing Enter does nothing.

You can play with 2 players (even solo), if the enter key doesn't do anything it looks like a bug, but I've never seen this problem and I'm surprised you have it on both Linux and Windows, I would like to help but I don't see a solution.

I can confirm that the Enter key does nothing. This is on both Linux and Windows and on the same machine (a new latop I bought last summer). I will try on my macBook tomorrow. There is no other issue with the Enter key anywhere on Linux and/or Windows in any app so this is as WTF as it gets, I guess. :)

Ok, we'll see if the problem is there on the other computer, also if you have a gamepad, can you try if the "start" button works to go to the next menu ?
