The game's resolution is too tall and the game is only controlled with the mouse, so you can get stuck in the How To Play screen unless you re-open the game. The inaccurate hitboxes are quite stressful to deal with, so it's understandable that there is an option to make them visible. Overall the title is a nice distraction.

Great catch! Thanks so much for discovering this glaring oversight. I have updated the itch page with a new version so that future players don't run into this same problem. I can adjust the hitboxes after the jam period is over =]

Thanks again!
