Does the game work with a new save file? This feels like a thing that's not caused by the game itself?
Are you sure you're not pressing the ctrl to hide text? This really is the first time I've heard about a problem like this. It really feels like it's a PC side problem, like something is slowing it down. Have you updated your drivers? Have you tried playing the game as an administrator?
Do you mean where you can rewatch the scenes? currently, there are 2 places one in Shiptown and one in Piratetown where you can watch all the scenes you've found again. If you want all scenes unlocked you can choose to go to the gallery when you start a new game.
I'm sorry, I can't really help with any android versions, since the bug is most likely on joiplays side. Are there any updates or (rpg maker mv) plug-ins you've forgotten to download before playing? That's all I can think of.
Hopefully this will fix the bug. You need a save where you haven't fought Runt Whiner yet. You cannot talk to Runt anymore to start the fight. If you don't have a save like that anymore, let me know and we'll see what I can do.
To me, it looks like a switch is not turning on for whatever reason after beating him, and then the next event doesn't trigger and you're left in black screen.
How did the fight start? Did you have a scene before the battle started? Is this an old save you brought to this build? Are you playing on PC? You are not supposed to be able to directly interact with Runt in-game at all and everything works through events.
edit: Is this if you lose a fight and try to battle him again?
I've tried to make an Android version multiple times, but I've never gotten it to work perfectly. Joiplay just does everything (UI, controls and all) just so much better.
The saves are preset saves for people who don't want to start from the beginning. You can ignore them or just delete them in the "small on top/www/save" folder
Edit: Looks like it only works with Swords for now, I've found a fix for it, but it requires a whole new build to be made, so the fix for it is coming in the 0.24 version the latest, if there won't be any major bugs to fix! It's been added to the bug list here: https://itch.io/t/5495969/bugs-of-build-023
You can just copy all the save files and paste them over the ones in the new build. You need the config.rpgsave and global.rpgsave files too, so it's just easier to delete the save folder from the new build and then paste the save folder from the old build in the www folder. This post tells you how to do it https://spedumon.itch.io/small-on-top/devlog/1285675/small-on-top-public-build-0...
If you can copy the save folder from your game (inside www folder) and put it in the "www" folder (replacing the old save folder there) of the new downloaded and unzipped version, and do the step 5 of the installation again with the new version ( https://itch.io/t/3569182/play-on-android-with-joiplay ), it might work? I haven't tried this, but logically it could work.
Thunder is next and will be in the desert area after Golorock. Fire Dungeon Hard difficulty should be finished in February's paid build. Not sure about Water Dungeon difficulty. Might do that 1 floor per month too.
Linux version is only for those who want to use PC simulators on Linux. I was asked to do it. I have no way to release a "linux only" version at this moment, because I don't have a linux.
