Earlier quoted context omitted.

The only thing I'm seeing is a spinning globe on FF for Android. Smooth, but I guess I'm missing something...

Thanks for the bug report. We'll have to figure out what could be causing this issue.

I experienced this in Librewolf as well, it happens when WebGL is disabled. Should probably present a visible error to the user when this happens.

Author here. Happy to answer any questions! Some background info on the project: https://littleworkshop.fr/projects/equinox/

Played on Chrome on my Android phone in portrait mode, and the whole game I felt it was too zoomed in. I was suspicious of that AI the whole time. Like, did it get sent into this asteroid field on purpose to destroy it because it was a threat? Were there other unconscious passengers locked in those rooms and if I died following some risky instruction would it simply wake the next one up? How could it practically see…

I also found the AI suspicious for a different reason. That is that it has its own agenda and is using me to do what it is not allowed to do. For some reason, the AI is not able to initiate a hyperspace jump, cannot bypass access, but can maneuver the ship through an asteroid field. As if it was not completely trusted.

And now, everyone else is gone, and I am getting ordered around by an AI, maybe because the AI considered me the easiest one to manipulate, maybe the AI deliberately entered the asteroid field to that goal.

Edit:

And I don't think the game really needs more content. It is not a big budget AAA production after all. What it could benefit from however is maybe some hints to something bigger. Things like personal items, messages on screen, maps, ads, writings on the wall, etc... It doesn't have to connect to a big story, but just hint that there is something, even if it is all bluff.

Every time I hit 'W' Firefox highlights the letter, meaning the help menu comes up.

You probably have Find As You Type enabled? http://kb.mozillazine.org/Accessibility.typeaheadfind

It's probably pretty rare nowadays, since it's off by default and rather hidden in the settings dialog ("Search for text when you start typing"). I had it activated up until (quite) a few years ago, and I think I switched it off, because of bad JavaScript interactions.
