Great that you discovered how to make big text with ascii characters, but please make it readable instead. I had to really squeeze my eyes to read it without giving me a headache

Hi ZUKOM, great start. I suggest you do so that focus to the window automatically focuses the text input. You also have an issue with the hacking visual effect not progressing the progress bar down.

Thanks for the feedback! I already solved those issues and Im already uploading the update.

Thanks for the feedback! I’ll work on fixing it.

For the moment, the easiest solution is to play the game in fullscreen mode if you have a bigger screen. Sorry for the inconvenience.
