The introduction of BGA's dark mode has caused issues specifically with this game. BGA's dark mode switches text from black to white. Which makes almost all text in Ark Nova unreadable on the tan backgrounds. Maybe if there was a way to code it so that dark mode doesn't change the text color?

You can disable it from inside the game's hamburger menu without going back to the main settings.

But the problem is that with over 1,000 games that don't all use a uniform color palette there is no one size fits all solution. BGA has hinted that they are not going to perform a systematic evaluation of dark mode compatibility for every game on the platform. So you can report it as a bug to bring it to the attention of the developer and maybe someone will get around to fixing it. The user who developed the third-party extension that implemented dark mode long before this (and consulted in BGA's implementation) said the fix is generally easy, but it's something that has to be done specifically for each game.
