I, a humble idiot, took a while to figure out how to start the game because I thought I need to click play. But after hitting space on a whim, the game started, and I have to say it's really cute! Love the color palette and the character is really cute. Fun game!
Nah, it's our bad - at the very last hour we realised that a keyboard-input browser game was hitting the audio problem of "you must click the mouse at least once for audio to start" and our hotfix was the first screen you see. I totally get how it might confuse you! But thanks for persevering past it, and so glad you enjoyed the game :D
