So, this is a bit weird. I have my game on
itch.io I use 7-zip to zip the build files. Everything is fine with the files and game until you download it from itch. There are at least three issues I'm seeing that only occur from this downloaded version (that is exactly the same file before its uploaded /downloaded).
1) The main menu has an image with a sprite sheet animation, set within the menu. In the downloaded version, it plays insanely fast / light speed, rather than the slower paced flickering it's set up to do.
2) There's a menu that is locked until a certain point in the game (you press shift to bring up a walkie talkie), however in the downloaded version this menu is unlocked right from the start. I did put in a workaround for this one though I haven't tested it yet.
3) When there's a save state, a button "Continue" appears on the main menu. In my file there is no save and the Continue button is hidden properly - in the download, there is now a save state, if you hit continue it's mid way through the game.
Any ideas as to why this is happening? These things aren't total game breakers but it's enough to take away from the experience.

I would, however, recommend trying to upload your file somewhere else, say DropBox, and downloading from there, and also uploading the non-zipped files and trying that. Basically to find out at what point the change is occuring.
