this might be a stupid question, but did u check whether the game is in focus or not?
itch usually starts games out of focus, so ud have to click on the game window to register input
If you're asking if i made "during focus" condition while developing the game, i didn't.
But yes, i clicked on the game before pressing any keys. I also tried different browser.
hmm just out of curiosity, have you faced this with unity games?
I way playing your game while answering to your comment btw. Same issue happend here :((
nice coincidence xd but well atleast in my code i dont have any condition related to input, so im not sure its the games fault
