STEAM DECK USERS BE WARNED
I left the game on for like 5 minutes in the in-between area where you choose your level ups and I got some pretty BAD screen burn. There's two ugly pillars of white just stuck next to the middle of the screen on my steam deck. I hope that this goes away with time but I honestly don't think it will. Thought I should write this in case anyone else makes the same mistake I did. otherwise, go buy this game its great, worth the price especially on sale.
i will update you on the screen burn.

What you got is probably not burn-in, but image retention, they're different things.

Burn-in affects OLED panels (and old CRT screens) and is a permanent damage, but LCD screens such as the Deck's are much more commonly affected by image retention, which is temporary.

It should go away with time, but you can try to search for and play some dead pixel fix videos if you want to try to get rid of it faster.

after like 8 hours of not playing it, it still has the burn in. tbf i have put in like 12 hours into this game in general so that might also have something to do with it.

UPDATE:
after playing different games on the Steam Deck I noticed that I cant find the screen-burn anymore. so in conclusion i guess turning off your Steam Deck does nothing, and playing games that use different colors and such will get rid of it.

I actually had the same problem (and still do, specially with ingame timers/scores like in Sonic or Puyo Puyo Tetris), is there actually no way to fix this? It goes away with time but it gets a bit annoying

Does it have anything to do with the screen brightness?
