Hi, you need to fix the issue on the fullscreen. I had this same issue in my game during publish, and ended up choosing massive screen sizes to fix these errors. What you should do is 

1. disable the "Enable fullscreen option" given by itchio. This doesn't fix the issue and makes the problem worse, so disable it.

2.Instead, for the game size, choose custom and give bigger dimensions to a size where you can see the blue icon which is a different fullscreen button given by unity to enable actual fullscreen. (If you're hesitant in given custom sizes, enable "Scroll bars" setting given by itchio.

3.Try now. I had same issues as the others, not being able to play the game at all. Its a shame all that work is going to waste just because of a browser issue. Good luck!

I managed to get the resolution to work for me!

I love the style, the handrawn art is adorable. The music was awesome and jazzy too, shame it only played on level 1!

I love the detective gameplay but unfortunately the dressup part didn’t work for me. A lot of it boiled down to spamming until I got the right item, and sometimes I thought I’d fulfilled the prompt but it didn’t go through. It took so long to restart each time that I didn’t end up finishing :( Shame because I really wanted to see the ending!

Really lovely work though, and the dialogue and mystery were super solid. Good work!

I really like the art style and the unique idea! I'm sorry the resolution got messed up and I wish it was fixed so I could experience it fully. Hope you can work on it in the future!

I can't really evaluate it because the game doesn't work because of broken resolution

i really like the idea and the art is amazing with the cutouts! The resolution was weird and I unfortunately couldn't read all of the text or interact with everything

This is such a fun concept, and the art is very unique like a children's drawing. It played well for me on Firefox. I enjoyed it!

i like fish but the game doesnt work...

The game seems interesting as a concept, but unfortunately I was locked zoomed in very close. I could click the play button, but the level rendered outside the camera frame. I read the comment about going fullscreen, but that didn't resolve the issue.
