so, there are some known issues with browser games apparently, in fact, yours wasn't the only one not working (although you were the only one who kindly replied). so i will play it by browser while waiting for the bugs to be fixed.
thank you once again. :)
the new update only has the browser version !! the download version from before was a lay over from me not understanding uploading to itch entirely: this version on the browser has all the features included in the game !!
the old one the only difference between the download version and the browser version was that the download version had radio sound, but now that's included in the browser version.
took a peep into what mitch is and assuming you're online for the entire duration of playing, I'd deff wait to see if it's an issue accessing resources from itch n their end. CORS means cross origin resource sharing: for all my games, the CSS has to import resources from fontawesome in order to display the icons. It seems at least possible that the app is having trouble with the mitch > itch >third party > itch > mitch pipeline when it comes to asking for resources, which could involve many different games if they're using imports from other websites instead of directly packaging all assets.
