clearly I am doing something wrong because people have been playing this. the start screen doesn't do anything for me. I can move around the little eye, I can make the word "settings" appear, and if I press Z there's a dinging... but I can't actually play the game... what am I doing wrong?

After thinking a bit I actually think the scene is loaded properly, but objects are drawing in the wrong order. The beeping you hear is the text sound which would imply the text is working, but I think it's appearing behind the rest of the scene. No idea what would cause that. If you keep pressing Z I think it should progress through all of the dialogue and let you play, but you'll miss a lot of important information..
Thank you so much for playing! It's unfortunate you couldn't find the buttons. There is one in each major area (green plant area, blue caves area, red lava area). There is dialogue telling you where they are but that only appears once, so it's very easy to miss. After the jam ends I plan to update the game with major features like a map!
