DeoWulf's font looks suspiciously different from the game's.

Eh? I didn't do anything to it. The image is higher res, though. Instead of comparing it to other people's screens, try comparing it to the game itself.

I didn't beat it, but I surely had fun leaving a weight on my spacebar for my break today
