it would be nice if I could leave this running in the background cause its an idle game. Why do I need to actively play it? or is that just a itch.io limitation?
Yeah game auto-pausing when the tab loses focus is a really annoying "feature" of GM GX WebAssembly that I cannot disable. Which is a real shame for a game like this. You can try tricking it, or playing on the desktop version where there is no pausing and the performance is also a lot better.
