That's too bad.
The game is playable by yourself, so if you would prefer, you can treat it as a singleplayer game!
Yeah, the space zoom was a bug-testing mechanic that we forgot to remove before submission. Try pressing SHIFT to zoom back out.
We didn't have time to make a very elaborate tutorial, which can definitely make it confusing. Check out the itch.io description. We have an explanation of how to play down there!
Hopefully that information makes the game experience better for you!
