Hi there! The game looks and sounds pretty promising, but I'm afraid I can't play much with the resolution it uses. On my 1080p monitor (computer running Windows 10), it's pretty difficult to read any of the text. Below is a screenshot of it in fullscreen. It looks a bit sharper in windowed mode, but the displayed resolution there is even smaller, so I can't really read anything. Are there any other graphic options I'm missing?
Greetings! Thanks for taking the time to play or game! We also run the game on 1080p monitors and it does not display the way it is for you. We are very sorry about this. Sadly we do not currently have any other resolution options in the menus.
But fear not! In the future we will be updating the game and we will be sure to add in resolution options.
For now, are you by chance "maximizing" the window before putting the game into fullscreen mode?
This may be effecting the games display.
Thanks again!

Thanks for the quick reply!
I'm only using the in-game "toggle fullscreen" option and it starts in windowed mode, looking like this:
It is crisper, but with ~3x4 pixels per letter, it's still a bit hard to read, compared to the other text in the itch.io app, for example. Switching to fullscreen in-game shows the other screenshot I posted (Alt+Enter has the same effect), scaling it up with a factor of about 2.4.
Not really sure what's causing it either, but if you managed to find and fix it, that would be awesome. Tried to play it in windowed mode with the Windows magnifier at 500%, which worked okayish, but still was a bit blurry in some places, most noticeable with the prices and texts in the shop/upgrade menu before warping (even with the magnifier smoothing option turned off).
