I've just uploaded a potential fix (at least in terms of crashing).
If you could give it a run (1.21 experimental) and let me know if you get the same behaviour that'd be great. You should simply get a warning saying you cannot save progress rather than an out right crash. Running it with super user though has me worried that this isn't the issue.

The v1.21 boots! However, the game says:

Game progress/options data cannot be saved, no permissions for folder.

Edit:

The game itself saves just fine. I could restart and continue at level 2, despite the warning in the menu.

Well that's progress :)
Could you in a post me an output of an "ls -la" command in the game folder and another of it's parent folder.
It is definitely a permissions issue. If you run the game with super user does it still show the "cannot save" popup?

edit reply: Well that's good. I'll investigate this further and try some things out. Permissions are messy and complicated but hopefully there will be a couple of ways I can avoid issues. Thank you for the bug report.

In v1.21 the warning in the menu could still be related to Gamedata.sav. The warning only seems to appear on the first time boot when the file does not exist yet.

Ah yes, that makes sense. I quickly put it together so of course need to polish that. Thanks again, I'll push an update in the next couple of days.
