My browser game runs only for one frame

Hi!

I uploaded one of my games to itch.io as a web browser game, but when I try to run it the game shows up for one frame or so before it turns into a black screen. I don't know why that would happen as the game runs fine from an executable and googling didn't turn up similar issues. Any help?

It would help to say if that happens in the app or on the website. For that matter, did you try running the web build locally from your own computer? Are there any error messages in the browser console?

Come to think of it, what engine does your game use? Actually, can we see it?

I don't know whether it happens app or the website. The web version doesn't run, so I guess the former (since other games  on the site work fine)? I just tried the web build on my computer and it works just as intended. I don't know how to open the browser console (unless it's the default one rather than one specific to this site). The game is made with Gamemaker, here's a link to the broken version: https://tolkki.itch.io/bonehead-v0394

Please help me, I'm sorry I'm new and don't know much, but I'd love to be able to get testers so I can keep improving the project.
I think this might be the error causing it? Atleast it appears on the console each time I run the project:
TypeError: (destructured parameter) is undefined
