Can't seem to exit the main menu?

Hi there,


I just downloaded this game and I can't seem to exit the title screen — clicking the mouse and pressing Esc play different musical notes but otherwise hitting WASD or any other keys don't seem to do anything. Am I missing something?

I'm running on MacOS 14.0, 2018 Mac Mini 3.2 GHz 6-Core Intel Core i7, 32GB memory

When you say "title screen", do you mean the main menu with the logo, and the menu buttons?

Is it just the "Exit" button that doesn't work? Can you close the game with command+F4 (or how you force close a game on Mac... dunno).

Here's what my title screen looks like — I've downloaded Juice Galaxy for PC as well and the main difference is that all the UI buttons (Start Game, Exit etc) are missing on the Mac version. I can still click around and it will play some randomized music notes, and Command-Q to quit the game but there's no way to start the game without the menu UI buttons.

Hello, thank you for the report and extra details. Looks like the GUI has crashed.

Would you mind sending me the error log?

  1. Click an empty space on your desktop
  2. Hold Option and click the Go menu
  3. Click on Library
  4. Navigate to Logs/Fishlicka/Juice Galaxy/
  5. You'll find the Player.log file
  6. Please email that to JuiceGalaxyBugs@gmail.com

I'll probably be able to fix it quickly if you do. Thank you!

Cool no problem, I just e-mailed you the file. 

Developer

Got the email, thank you!

I'm sorry but I'm stumped by this issue. The error log is very helpful, but I haven't been able to reproduce the issue on my own mac, or figure out what could be causing it. I will work on some possible fixes and probably email you when they are ready to test, if you are still interested at that point.

Thanks again.

Yes of course! Just let me know.

Take care :) 

Developer

Alright I think I've found the solution actually! I've pushed it to the Steam beta version.

Would you mind trying the steam beta when you get a chance?

This is different from the pre-release beta. To enable it:

  1. Right click Juice Galaxy in your steam library
  2. Click 'Properties'
  3. Click the 'Betas' tab
  4. Select 'beta-beta' from the dropdown box

Steam will then update Juice Galaxy. You may have to restart Steam.

what do you do after that bc it says I need a code for the beta? I have been force quitting and force quitting and force quitting and still won’t work

Developer

Hi there! This post is a bit dated and the beta track doesn't currently differ from the main track. Unfortunately, the experimental changes I had in there did not solve the original issue, and I'm still trying to find a solution. Could you describe your experience a bit more?

  • Are you on Mac?
  • Are you having the same issue? (Buttons are invisible, but can be clicked?)
  • What buttons are you using to force quit? Do they work for you?
  • Did a previous version of Juice Galaxy work for you?

Thanks for your time and sorry for the inconvenience. :)

I am on a mac

I’m expiriencing the same problem(I can’t start the game)

I do option+cmd+esc to force quit(I can force quit but the game still won’t work)

I don’t know I did not try yet

(The answers are in order)

I have a idea💡💡💡 maybe if you find the problem, get on a Alt, and Test it tk see if it will finally work, the problem will be solved

Developer

Thank you for the quick answers! I'm sorry I haven't managed to track down the cause yet. I do test using my own mac, but I haven't been able to reproduce the issue on it. I will continue banging my head against the wall regarding this issue and post here again when I think I've found something.

If you'd like to receive a notification when I post here again, you can subscribe to this thread using the link at the top of the page.

is it part of the coding?

Developer

I'm not sure, although I may have found a solution, would you mind testing it? 

I've added a new post at the bottom of this thread about how.

legend says he is still walking

Developer

Alright, here comes attempt #2

Would you mind testing it and letting me know if the buttons finally show up?

You can access this test build in Steam by:

  1. Right click Juice Galaxy in your library
  2. Click Properties
  3. Open the Betas tab
  4. Select 'beta - beta' using the Beta Participation dropdown
  5. Restart Steam
  6. Open the game

You shouldn't need a password this time, and Juice Galaxy should look like this in your Library list:

Let me know if it works for you, it would be a huge relief for me ^^ thanks!

ok

it says juice galaxy [beta] but still won’t work

Oh wait, I did not force quit, it says it’s updating

YOU DID IT!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH THIS IS MY DREAM GAME TO PLAY AND YOU FIXED IT

now if anyone wants to play you helped them

:| now I can’t exit the speech

Developer

That's fantastic! Thanks so much for testing.

Lol yes the changes introduced some new bugs, I'll be pushing another update to the beta version that fixes:

  • Compass not showing
  • Speech GUI unresponsive
  • Some text issues

Just wait about an hour and restart Steam again, it will update at that point. Let me know if you find any more bugs after that ^^

Developer

Actually the update is ready now, so just restart Steam and you should be good to go.

thank you

I have 2 questions; one, can you make there a button in setting where you can adjust the screen bc just so I can do certain stuff or see my health I have to go into my inventory, and two, can you make a new place that’s like a wrestling tournament where you fight monsters and you fight this guy called “the champion” and if you beat him, you get a accessory that increases your damage? The champion can look like a small body, big head, small torso, and whatever else you want. You don’t need to do this idea but I would like to see what it would look like

Developer

Are you saying you cannot see your health bar unless you open the inventory? That is not good lol, could you post a screenshot?

You can change the screen resolution in the settings menu, under Graphics. That will likely help.

Lol that's a good idea. I do want to add a gladiator style arena to the game soon, stay tuned.

(1 edit)

ok thank you

Personally I like the idea, you can add like the emperor for the gladiator and a crowd and every time you win, instead of coins, you get juice

And I can’t see anything, like the words, health bar, cheat menu(I found out return gives you a cheat menu) nothing. I can’t max my upgrades but they still work if I go to inventory

Developer (1 edit)

Hmm, so does the healthbar appear when you open the Inventory?

Also, do any buttons appear when you hit Escape?

(1 edit)

no and I found the forbidden land

Graphics won’t work

(1 edit)

here is what I mean

See how when I opened inventory my health bar showed up

Hello! I'm on mac and also experiencing this problem. I've tried running it normally and set to beta, and still no luck.

Developer (1 edit)

Hey there, thanks for letting me know! Darn, I was pretty confident that version was going to work. I'll make some more changes and let you know here when the next build is ready to try.

Just to confirm, does JG look like this in your steam library?

Thank you for the response! And yes, that is how it is in my steam library :( 

I downloaded on itch.io and dont have the steam version. This problem  is happening to me, just a guy walking around forever. What to do?
