How do I prevent scrolling on itch.io?

Hello,

I've got a problem, I made a game with keyboard input (the player moves with down, up, left, right arrows keys) but on itch.io, when I press the down or up keys, the whole page move up and down, not only in the game. Is there a way to fix it ?

Thanks

You should contact itch.io about this, since if they include that script on every page they can make it work for any game. That's what we did for the Scirra Arcade.

Is a known issue ? I see games without this issue and was wondering it the problem comes from my code.

Thanks anyway for the script, I'm going to try it.

It's just that arrow keys are a browser shortcut to scroll the page. In a game arcade generally you don't want that, and the page can override it. So if you run an arcade, you probably want to override it for every game, instead of forcing every game to override it itself.
