  • Interesting, that weird text glitch again. What browsers / platform are you using? I will add a default text colour next update. (Using any other browser in the meantime should resolve the problem, which can be used as a workaround. Every major browser renders fine on my machine, making a fix hard to test)
  • On the app not starting: can you open the dev tools (Ctrl-shift-I on most browsers) and find out what errors are in the console?

Firefox, Windows 8.1, high contrast theme with custom colors to give the 8.1 ui I dark theme.  Sometimes firefox uses this (even when I tell it not to), which can cause issues with pages with any kind of undefined color anywhere on the page.

Here is what it looks like when I open it with edge:

How do I open the dev tools when launched through itch?

  • Ran a test, setting the base text colour to black seems to fix the problem in High-contrast colour mode on Firefox. It will be released on Monday
  • (Ctrl-shift-I) should work to boot the dev-console on Firefox/Edge even on the itch version

The colors are fixed, Thanks!

The Itch version is still broken, and Ctrl-shift-I doesn't open the dev tools on itch like it does on firefox.

Strange that the dev console won't boot, is this on the itch app download version, or on a browser on the itch.io website?

It's on the itch app version; the game is downloaded through the app and launched through the app.

Right, you are playing it in a version of the Chromium browser then (A portable open-source browser). It seems itch.io disables the Dev tools. You can try removing the game and reinstalling, if that does not work you can try locating the files and opening them in a different browser to see if it is just Chromium behaving weirdly

I launched the game on Firefox, Edge, the Itch App, and now also Chromium.

The Itch app is the only one that doesn't go past the first picture.  Even chromium can progress normally.

The colors are normal on Firefox.

Edge and Chromium inherit the system palette still, which may or may not be desirable.  At least it's perfectly legible.






such strangeness was had?

Strangeness indeed, but much thanks for the thorough investigation! At least it is readable on every browser now. I will try and see what I can do on this end, thanks again for the effort!
