I haven't been able to play because I could never get past the "preface" text box :'( How do I close it and get to the game?

Hi, try playing in a different resolution. One of the bugs I found late in the jam causes the play button on the preface to be off screen :/. After that you should have a 'play' button you can click. I've verified that this works on 1024x768 and 1920x1080, and typically anything close to that. It should look something like this: https://i.imgur.com/BWFUJVW.png

I intend to come back and make some fixes for these kind of things, but it's been a busy year with a big update coming to Death Game+!

TIP: You can craft certain items by dropping them together on the 'grass patch' in your main cave.

Thanks for playing!

Thank you for your answer. I don't get 1920x1080 listed as a possible resolution, but on 1024x768 the "play" button sticks out a little bit from under the text box, so I was able to play a little. Then I may have run into another issue. I crafted the bouncy flower and was trying to figure out how to use it to cross the spikes, and then there was a spot at the edge of the hole where I got stuck, unable to move or interact with anything, not even use the spikes to die and start over. The only thing that worked was quitting the game (so it wasn't completely crashed, it was just the character being stuck).

I'm glad you were able to make it into the game. Hopefully I can clean up a lot of the experience soon. At the very least, I've gained a few more things to work on when I come back to this project.

Thank you!


I've put up a small update that should help with these issues. Here's hoping you can have a much smoother gameplay experience.
