OK, I think I've got it: you can open the game itself and access the settings menu, but when you try to actually play, it closes without any messages. Thank you for that. What platform are you playing on: PC or Mac?
Oh, that changes things. A lot of times, Android devices have in-built anti-virus software that force closes apps like ours that it flags as "suspicious". You might have to go into your device's security settings and adjust your permissions to give the game full allowance.
Darn, that usually works, and yes, some devices just aren't compatible with the game. Sorry about that. We deeply appreciate your patience, and your interest in the game, and hope you can find some other way to enjoy it!
