Really, Leikir? Could the text be any smaller?

If you're a human and not an eagle and feel like you don't have enough eyestrain in your life, play this game.

I'm playing on an OLED Deck which has a 7.4 inch screen where the tooltips, in particular, are laughably small. It's a bit better on the Legion Go's 8.8-inch screen but that thing's the chonkiest of chonky handhelds. I feel bad for anyone trying to play this on Switch Lite.

Leikir, PLEASE, give an option for text size. I feel like we're being trolled with that ♥♥♥♥. Playtest your game across some handhelds next time.

steam deck

im about to test it on the deck, will report back in a bit

[Corobanto]

controls don't seem to work. maybe someone smarter than me can figure out how to configure that.

[Petey]

Same thing for me. Hopefully we get controls for Steam Deck for the full game.

It would be a guaranteed buy from me.

game doesn't have controller support for some reason

[Zoc]

Use keyboard (wasd) and mouse layout. It works!

I noticed that too.

It is kind of crazy to not support gamepad here.

[neotechni]

it's a demo. Controller support isn't done yet, like many other things. Map the controls yourself.

Devs need to implement Steam Deck controls and make it clear if they're supporting the platform. This is the sort of game I would 100% play on Steam Deck and not be so interested in on Desktop. This would scratch my GBA era turn-based strategy itch on Steam Deck.

[Rotjenn]

This is a perfect game for the deck, the full release hopefully supports it

Even on desktop it is something that I'd instinctively reach for my joypad for. I mean, it is Metal Slug - but inspired by the console games Final Fantasy Tactics/Tactics Ogre.

I understand it is a demo, but at the same time it is also a sales pitch.. unless I miss it being advertised as a beta/alpha.

Text is very hard to read on SteamDeck

Some text is very hard to read on SteamDeck. Lower case letters in the tutorial text are 0.9 millimeters, no joke lol. Some description text for things like doge are even smaller! Please please please fix this for launch. Merci!

Text is hard to read on a TV too at normal viewing distance. I'd bet it's hard to read on a laptop too. Probably only easy to read on a PC monitor desktop setup where your face is at 40cm of a 27"+ screen. There's room enough on most boxes to fit much larger texts. This should be a basic accessibility option on most games yet I keep bumping into this issue again and again, just because I play PC on a TV. Ofc it's an issue on Deck too.

[Insomniac]

devs not optimizing for deck at this point is just stupid, leaving money on the table because they can't be fussed to make readable text on 720p screens when it really hasn't been that long since 720p was the console standard.
