Do you think, then, each text window should have two lines, or so? As, funnily enough, I'm trying out bitsy and I have the opposite problem there... default window is already very small, so two lines is the maximum (at least until I figure out which plugin extends it), and some people actually were annoyed that they had to keep pressing a button after a few words...
Did you find the items? I probably shouldn't have made such a vague kind of quest, but I thought it would sort of impart more of the void's atmosphere... if that's possible in such a 2D game...
