The "Big Text" & Smooth Scroll Update

Devlog #1: The “Big Text” & Smooth Scroll Update

Date: November 26, 2025

Version: 1.1.0

Hello Tycoons!

We’ve been listening to your feedback, specifically regarding readability on high-resolution monitors and some pesky navigation issues. This update focuses entirely on Quality of Life improvements to make your empire-building experience smoother and easier on the eyes.

Here is what’s new in Flip Tycoon:

👁️ Visual & Accessibility Overhaul

The biggest complaint we heard was that the text was simply too small, especially on 1440p and 4K monitors. We have done a complete pass on the typography to ensure everything is legible without squinting.

Global Font Increase: The base font size in our configuration has been bumped from 16px to 18px. This scales up all dynamic text automatically.

Headlines & Titles: The Game Title (.game-title) size increased from 36px to 42px, and section headers are now punchier at 24px.

Stats Dashboard: Your money and stats are the most important part of the game! We increased the stat values from 18px to 22px and made the labels significantly more readable (up to 13px from 10px).

Interactive Elements: Buttons, badges, and staff lists have all received size increases and padding adjustments to make them easier to click and read.

🖱️ UX & Scrolling Fixes

We noticed that on certain devices and browser window sizes, the game would “lock” scrolling or show double scrollbars, making it impossible to see the bottom of the property lists.

Natural Scrolling: We removed the forced overflow-y properties from the html and body tags. The browser now handles scrolling naturally, preventing the “locked screen” bug.

Mobile & Responsive Layout: We changed the main container width to 90% (down from fixed 100% stretches) and added proper padding to the body. This ensures the game looks framed correctly on mobile devices without content touching the screen edges.

🛠️ Technical Notes

Updated applyConfigStyles logic to ensure that even if you change the font size in settings, the smaller labels (like “Cash” or “Debt”) scale proportionally so they don’t disappear.

Happy Flipping!
