Thank you for the scrollbar.

Rigachupe,

Do make sure you don't print too much text paragraphs without adding : press_any_key; events between them, especially if you lock the layout.

And do test on mobile. Use layout_mobile and avoid using LOCK on mobile.

What exactly lock layout means? Is that the commands that cause to wait for something like asking question or choice selection?

Hi Rigachupe.

I can see that Doodley the Ducktective and your other new game both have the same "upload settings" problem with Itch.

Please pay attention to section 9 in this document (games should launch in full screen, be mobile friendly, and select "portrait" mode).

Also, your gamebook style game seems to have too much text for the "border" mode. Are you extending the "TWO" theme? If so, that's not ideal for the type of game you are writing. I recommend that you set the number of columns to 72 in your theme. You might be better off with a more readable font too.

themes {
   your_theme : theme {
      theme_settings {
         columns = 72
         columns_mobile = 40
         font = plotter_bold_extended
      }
   }
}

Please write to me at info@adventuron.io and I'd like to work with you to show you all the different display options as it does seem that you are sticking to the TWO theme. If that's out of choice, don't worry about it, but I did notice that it's not optimized for high text games, so I do think at the very least, you need to increase the columns that are displayed, even if keeping everything else the same.
