Thank you for kind feedback. I'm not sure what you mean by the initial zoom-in, is it the auto fullscreen when you start the game? Since the game is not readable on smaller resolutions, I decided to go this way.
I have not heard of Ascension yet (it's not too widely available in my country) but looks sick, thank you!
I was playtesting on trackpad as well and I'm sort of used to it but it's a great idea to implement a click to play :) Might do it if I decide to udpate the game.
