The artwork looks so cute ^^
I'm so sad I didn't manage to play the demo, I've just reinstalled to make sure it wasn't a stale install issue and that wasn't the case, I don't get the full title screen, I just get the image without a play button ^^'
I'm on Windows 11 Edit : 10 with the demo version 3.0.1

Thank you for your interest in my game and for bringing my attention to this issue! I am sorry the demo wasn't working for you. When I get a chance, I will see if I can identify what's causing the issue. I've also been considering whether or not I want to migrate my project to a different game engine that has good web build performance.

No worries at all :)
Don't hesitate to ask me if there's anything specific I can do to help troubleshoot the issue (print out logs or run a command or whatnot) once you get to it (there's no rush).
Oh I see ! Good luck with maybe migrating engines :) 
Btw my laptop is very old so that might be the issue, maybe it's not the game :)
