DarkStar
A browser game made in HTML5

So apparently people had tried to download this, thank you if that was you, apologies for the huge file size. So while I have been developing I have been optimising my resources where I can i.e. music as OGG music, sprites trimmed to a few colours etc. Then like an idiot, I left the originals in the resource folder along with the optimised versions, thus a 181MB download when really the final file size is only 12MB. If I ever get this anywhere near finished, I reckon I can get this down a bit more.

Anyway thanks Virtual Nomad for pointing that out, I don't know Itch very well and I suspected before I joined that I might make a terrible guest, not following the rules and guidelines. Thankfully they seem to be patient with newbies like me. If I ever work out how to adjust the viewport to make it nicer for this platform I will adjust that as well.
