Known limitations
Motion blur is unavailable in the Web build. Level loading remains synchronous and can briefly block the browser. The game starts windowed because browsers require user interaction before entering fullscreen.
Controller support has not been exhaustively tested across browsers, operating systems, Bluetooth configurations, and controller models. Controller-specific prompts, sensitivity settings, and rebinding are future work.
Native builds remain comparison targets and were not release-validated for v1.0.0.
