Hi Jonathan, that’s a great point. I ran a quick test of the game in Google Chrome on my Mac (Sequoia 15.6.1), and everything works as intended (screenshot below).

I really admire you and your girlfriend for all the thought and effort you’re putting into this accessible, friendly, and academic project. I'm exited to let my daughter try out the game this weekend too!

From a QA/UX perspective, have you considered adding a sound/music volume button or a Pause button to the UI? These could help keep the game balanced and calm, while giving the player more control over their experience.

Looking forward to seeing the next version with your updates — keep up the awesome work! Please feel free to Tag or DM me when the next version is ready for play testing.

Best,

William

Hi William,

Thanks so much for taking the time to test the game and share your thoughts — I really appreciate it. I’m glad to hear everything ran smoothly on your setup for Chrome, and it means a lot that you and your daughter are excited to try it out.

I completely agree with your suggestions about adding a volume control and a Pause button. Those are excellent ideas for improving the overall player experience, and they’re now on our list of updates for the next version few versions.

I’ll be sure to tag you when the new build is ready for playtesting. Thanks again for the encouragement and thoughtful feedback — it really helps us keep moving the project in the right direction.

Best,
Jonathan Pirone
