User actions overlap with embedded game on desktop

The user tools (links to view all, jam submissions and buttons to follow) frequently overlap with embedded web games. Below is an example of my game Clean! Those! Kids!. This game uses the cursor, and mousing over those user tools removes focus from the embedded game. Of course people can go full screen, but not everyone notices that option.

Could you make sure those items never overlap with an embedded game?

Totally agree with this. A setting to disable or minimize or move to other place in window

Sorry about that, in the meantime you can try using the fullscreen button on the bottom right of the game window, or shrinking the width of the window a little bit

...in the meantime...

So what solution are you working on and when will it be available?

Would love this! I often disable full screen mode in my games so making these collapsible or something would be great.

Can we revive this issue? This problem is still at large. Not everyone wants to fullscreen games.

Maybe an easy solution would be to make the menu items invisible when an embedded game is focused.

I have a personal workaround. Every time I play a certain game, I to open the developer tools, find the "user tools" HTML element, and add the style "visibility: hidden".
