Doesn't seem to be scaling properly - I can only see the top left corner of the start page.

EDIT: Got it working with the zoom trick, worth it for the gameplay

I was able to find the start button in the corner, but you might want to change your canvas type to stretch. Nice and calming tho

 Thanks for the feedback. I made this game in just 5 hours and didn't adjust the canvas settings back then. Forcing it to stretch now distorts the visuals, so I'll keep it as it is. Glad you liked the calming vibe! Iโ€™ll check out your game too.

I tried a couple different browsers and window sizes, but couldn't see the Start Button though - did you set your canvas to a fixed size, or scale it by screen size?

Great idea though, I love games that promote mindfulness, that was a big focus in our submission! Hope you'll give it a go!

Developer

Thanks for trying. I actually made this game in just 5 hours and missed adjusting the canvas settings. Forcing it to stretch now breaks the visuals, so I'll keep it as it is. It's really cool that we both focused on mindfulness for this jam! I'm heading over to check out "Witch's Brews" right now.

Sadly, the Start button wasn't visible to me. Is there a trick to full-screen this? I wish to observe the root

Developer

Hi! Thank you for trying out my game. That's strange, as the Start button works fine on my end. Could you try maximizing your browser window or changing your browser's zoom level? Sometimes the itch.io embed layout hides game elements if the window size is too small. Let me know if that helps!

Hey! Changing my zoom to 150% did the trick. FWIW, I am on Chrome, 27" monitor, zoom was set to 100%, window maximized, and this is what it looked like for me without zooming in on my browser. I have now viewed the root. Thank you for the zen moment and special message. Happy Autumn to you.

You're very welcome! I'm really glad the zoom trick worked and that you enjoyed the zen moment and the special message. Thank you so much for the feedback and the helpful screenshot! I'll make sure to check out and play your game soon. Happy Autumn to you too!
