As soon as the Anekom Software Incorporated logo appears, the game immediately crashes. Is this an issue that's been noted before?

I am also having this issue

Hey guys! Thanks so much for letting us know and we're so sorry you're running into this!! We recently pushed a new update and there's a chance something bugged specifically with the itch.io version of the game. We are fixing it right now and will let you know once a new version is pushed. Sorry again!!

A fixed version has been officially posted! Thanks again for pointing this out, I'm literally leaving for a vacation in about 6 hours so I'm very glad you said something :P

Confirming that I no longer have the bug with the updated version :) thanks~ enjoy your vacation!
