How the hell do I start the game?

[Trump Won 2020]

I'm in the load-out "menu" and I can't find any option to start the game. This is a really terrible design.

You can move around... :P

[Trump Won 2020]

I figured it out. I had option without any selections because it didn't have a default selection and because of that there was no Start button. I still think this is a horrible design.

There isn't a single piece of advice I can offer you.

I agree that the new menu does need some work to make it a bit more intuitive for new players, but calling it terrible is nonsensical.

No, it's outright terrible. It's a menu that shoudl show you all your options on one screen. They made it into an awful mini game. Just because you like it doesn't mean it's not terrible,

Shocked SHOCKED that a guy with the screenname TRUMP WON 2020 is too dim to read a menu.

And just because you don't like it doesn't mean its not good. Its not a mini game nor is it trying to be one. I really enjoy it because it is different in a way that is refreshing. You not finding something because you were to much of an impatient child to move around the screen a little is not any different from not being able to find an option in a menu because its under a different tab.

It takes about 3 seconds to figure it out LMAO

I think your brain needs some serious maintenance. Unfortunately I think the damage is too severe to hope for anything.

Look : he still doesn't know Trump is no more president. He has still time left to find the "exit game" button.

It's obvious to some and a mystery to others. I'd be a bad gamedev if i blame the players for this. My only conclusion is this: it should be improved to become more intuitively clear that you can move.
We did a few steps in that direction, for example with a hint that tells you about it. The first time you start you actually should be inside a tiny cave that you need to dig out of first, so that you actually can't miss that you can and should move in the menu. Maybe this is bugged?

The vast majority of players should easily figure it all out within a few minutes, but a glow/highlight around the 'start run' or an arrow pointing to it (until after the first run) might help the less prescriptive.
I recently picked up the game and only after mining most everything in the setup/menu did i more carefully examine the room and notice the 'start run' area as everything else in the room just more naturally drew my attention.
