Is there a way to increase the font size of the game?

[Gfernandes]

The game is charming but the font size makes me force my eyes to read and give me a headache (not only because of the size but because it is a light colored font on a dark background). Is there a way to solve this, or even better, these two problems?

Hi Gfernandes. Currently this is not possible I'm afraid.

It's something I'd like to look into adding at some point, but so far it has been lower priority than other requested features.

I'm sorry to hear you've been suffering with headaches. :(

I understand that it might not be a priority, but adding a "font size" option to the game menu doesn't seem like a very difficult thing. Even though the font does not scale with the interface or is "outside the dialog boxes", something like an "in test / beta option" and it gets ugly, I humbly think it better than not having the option, after all the lack option prevents me from playing, as it gives me a headache, and looking at the recent discussions in the forum, it seems that it is not something that bothers me only...

Hi,

I just bought the game and I'd also like to request an option to make the font size bigger. It's really hard to read no matter the resolution I set it at. Unfortunately, this makes the game unplayable for me because I'm having trouble reading the tutorial instructions.

I urge you to make this a higher priority. The game looks cute and I'd really like to play it :)

I fully support that this should be a priority

Thanks for the additional feedback floatypoe. I can certainly look at bumping up this feature request's priority.

Yep font size is an issue for us with lower screen res and seeing problems. It's not a feature IMO, it's accessibility and has major effects on gameplay if I'm looking at a complicated tank with loads of info and can't make out the numbers because of disability or screen resolution. Thank you for your time.

I also support this. sometimes 6's look like 8's and I end up messing something up. I do love this game though!

I'm looking into this improvement currently. I'm giving the entire UI a once over and trying to get all the fonts up to a minimum size. However, if there are any particular bits players are having trouble with I'd be interested to know. A screenshot showing the small text would probably be the most useful, that way I know what resolution you're playing at too, because the UI does change a bit depending on the resolution/aspect ratio. :)

Is there any update or change in the last two years on this topic, by chance?

Yes, the update has been released, I can't remember exactly when off the top of my head. Font and image size was increased across a whole bunch of places and blank space was reduced.

I did look into including a general font size option in the menu. However, during my testing I found that often, the UI real-estate limited the size of the font anyway. I'm sure the situation could be improved further so if you have any specific feedback on parts of the UI you have trouble with, I'd be happy to hear that. Especially with the aid of a screenshot. :)

I'm trying to play on the Steam Deck and the font is SO SMALL. But I play it on my desktop PC and it's fine. It's a fun game but I guess the Steam Deck's screen is just too small for something like this.

I even tried switching to a smaller resolution so the entire GUI would be larger, but there's no smaller 16:10 resolution option. Is there any way you could add one? If the font can't be made larger, then how about make a smaller res so the font will look larger in fullscreen? The rest of the game will look like crap, but at least you can read it?

Thank you for the feedback. Unfortunately, I don't think there is anything you can do at your end on the Steam deck. The UI is sort of reactive so that everything tends to appear the same size on screen regardless of resolution (just more pixelated at lower resolutions).

I will certainly add this to my list of feedback but I must admit that the game was never really designed with a screen the size of a Steam Deck in mind - the Steam Deck wasn't a thing when the game came out! ;)
