Here's the map, if you're able to speak with someone you might be able to visualize where you're standing and how to get to the exit at the bottom. Or is this the wrong map? I couldn't really tell where you were from your comments.

if the music plays and you can use the menu that's just a "fade out" black and you should be able to move around even if you can't see anything.  To reset the screen you could try to find an exit to another area in Pine Island in the dark and reset the "fade out" when you enter that area.

Did you use an older save from another build?

The screen might just be black. are you able to try to navigate to a door where you could enter another area to reset the "fade to black"?

Accidentally pressing ctrl is the most likely thing that causes "freezing", it can happen in fights and everywhere where text box can be hidden. It can be solved by just pressing ctrl. If you press ctrl even before talking to someone, it will hide the text and "freeze" on that comment box.

Did you press ctrl to hide the text? That might be the problem.

I don't know if that's possible, you could try one of those windows simulators for linux like wine?

November will start a new public build phase!

If you're still on the 1st island and you have the map, you can use that to teleport. Otherwise I don't know how'd you get out. Where did you get stuck? If you're stuck in that scary house, it's meant to do that and you can find a way out pretty easily.

Speak with the dolphin guy

Ryon is the chef of the pirate crew. You need to go back to the ship.

Sadly no, I can't speak or write Chinese. I don't know if someone who can speak it has translated the game, but again, I wouldn't know because I can't read it.

There is a link to a guide on the front page "Walkthrough". You pretty much have to find a big red crystal inside the beach cave and then do the quest it gives you to open the fire dungeon.

I had that feeling, it might be a driver, high CPU or RAM memory usage problem.

Did you get the game from my patreon or some other site? If it's from someplace else, I have no way to help. I don't know what kind of things those places put in the files.

Hmmm. This is the first time that I've heard of this happening. Might be something on your computer that can't handle the game. I'm not savvy with that kind of stuff, I guess my best bet is to google the problem and see if other people have had similar problems. The engine is "RPG maker MV" so searching something like "rpg maker mv computer freezing" might give answers.

What part there? Did you press ctrl to hide text? That stops everything else from happening. Pressing ctrl again will bring back the text and you can continue.

You need to unrar/unzip the files first. If it's still in the Zip/Rar folder no changes can be made (because it's compressed) so no new saves can be made.

It needs to stay inside the folders where it was, that's why it won't work.

Did you take the .exe file out of the folders?

https://spedumon.itch.io/small-on-top/devlog/628915/mouse-wont-work-in-new-publi...

are there any save files in this location:

Small On Top\www\save

Did you save? There is no auto-save.

Did you unzip/unrar the files before playing?

To Maneland quest is the main quest of the game so it's WIP. The Food on the Table one is for the pirate ship. You can find how it can be done in the Walkthrough.

Exploring the small dungeon a bit, I'm sure you're able to get there. If not, the walkthrough on my page might help.

November 3rd for free build (I need to make content for it first)

3rd day of every month for patreon builds.

Here's instructions on how to play Small On Top on Android with Joiplay!

Written by faffing_minotaur

Step 1: Download the the JoiPlay app (.apk file)

Joiplay is not on google play, download the most up to date version (free) from joiplays patreon page: https://www.patreon.com/joiplay

Latest version as of 2024-03-05: JoiPlay 1.20.32, https://mega.nz/file/Hr5XRSgS#IU-1rw7aBsgOqlTmPkdVCmodTqXRN7P9L1Az-YY5sLA

Step 2: Download the RPG plugin (needed to play 'small on top')

On the same joiplay patreon page, download the latest RPG Maker plugin. This allows joiplay to start games created with 'RPG maker'. https://www.patreon.com/joiplay

Latest version as of 2024-03-05: RPG Maker Plugin 1.20.53, https://mega.nz/file/OqgF3AaY#P0t6Rwtu1wobHbqotd7tAWbOXTKE-xMj0I5bbqVVMsw

Step 3: Install the .apk files

You will have two .apk files from the previous steps in your download folder.

Android application .apk files are similar to windows .exe files. Open your downloads folder (using the 'files' app or chrome downloads), and start the file called joiplay[some_version].apk file

If you have not installed an .apk file outside google play before, your device might warn you about opening unknown files. Press 'enable installing from unknown sources'

When JoiPlay is installed, install the RPGMPlugin-[some_version].apk download in step 2 the same way.

Step 4: Download 'Small on top [version].zip' from itch / patreon

Open your downloads folder, select the 'small on top.zip" and select "Extract". (Will load a a couple of seconds)

Step 5: Install 'small on top' in Joiplay (aka press "ok" on a lot of prompts)

Launch the JoiPlay app, and accept the Terms & Conditions & privacy policy

If you have android 13+, JoiPlay asks for permission for notifications. It's not required to accept.

When it asks for storage permissions, press "Allow" on all 4 prompts. (If the first prompt appears again, thats a bug, close the application (recents menu -> swipe away), start joiplay again and press 'ok' again.) A window will appear asking for "All files access". Find "JoiPlay" in the list and turn the toggle on, and then press back.

When the permissions are granted, you see a white screen with a plus in the upper right corner, press that, then "Add Game" -> Choose  -> /Download/ -> Small on Top -> Small on Top (again) -> Small on Top (again again) -> Game.exe . 

Joiplay will ask what you want the game name and version name to show up as inside Joiplay, go with the default "Small on top", and whatever you want to call the version you downloaded

Skip adding an icon for the game, use the default icon & press next.

Step 6: Play the game.

Press the icon "Small on top". The game will now finally start.

Press the small arrow icon at the bottom of the screen to get on-screen buttons you can use in the game to move / press the menu.

Thanks for the nicely put instructions. Is it alright if I make a thread with this comment so people can easily find it and use the instructions to play the game with JoiPlay?

I'm sorry, I don't know how to help with it. Google might know more.

Can you see on their page if there is a plug-in you need for rpg maker mv?

edit: I found this, it might help.

I will be working on Saphura this month, but the 3rd boss is finished.

What do you mean? You can download the game from the links on the page, they are RAR or ZIP files meaning you need to unrar/unzip them first. Then you just need to play the .exe file inside the folders.

The walkthrough can help you.
The magician is on the 2nd floor of Fire Dungeon and the tailor is in the forest where you can fight the crocodile and the bear, after Logtown.

You can play the game on android with JoiPlay

Wizard is in Fire Dungeon's 2nd floor just before the boss and what you call the magicsmith is probably in the cave just when you enter it from the beach. There should be a Anubis character there. You can also checkout the Walkthrough if you have more questions like this.

Ah you just need to guess. It's between a few numbers.

The mansion content goes to that point in this build, the rest (and more) is coming in the next public phase in the fall.

All the story in the mansion came with the last build. The new build added a new are you go through the underwater. It's been a while, but if it says end of story then that's it for that part of the story.

Edit: I checked the build and you're right, it ends there. I think that was all I had finished up until that point before I had to make the new builds for the public release. The newest build added a new event in Piratetown and a new area you can go through the underwater map. The next build will add the 1st floor of Water Dungeon.

It should be up to the quest guild. You get to the mansion by going underwater. Could you be more clear, I'm not sure what you mean.
