Hello!
Thanks for checking out our game! I wanted to ask you a couple of questions about your experience. When did you get stuck running in place exactly? I just tried playing the game myself and I was able to progress through all of the early tutorial prompts without getting stuck so I am curious where exactly it is happening for you.
I was also able to skip dialogue with the "A" button during the tutorials and early part of the game so I wanted to know what part of the talking you were not able to skip?
The options menu in-game is also working for me, but the one on the title menu does not so I assume that is the one you are talking about, we will certainly fix that in future updates.
