I also keep pressing escape if I am in the wrong menu state (trying to eat and nothing to eat) and it instant quits without a prompt. I guess it tells me to press i or spacebar.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>The starting monsters seem sometimes really strong and sometimes really weak, but I don't seem to lose when my health is negative, so I guess that is ok.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>I also eventually experienced the same crash as josefnpat. It should be fine to fix a crash as long as you don't add new game content."},{"author_name":"MunkeeBacon","author_uid":"10400","time":"Apr 30, 2014 @ 11:46pm","epoch":1398901260,"text":"Fun little game, well thought out!"},{"author_name":"metkis","author_uid":"27592","time":"Apr 30, 2014 @ 11:52pm","epoch":1398901620,"text":"I love the return to form here, awesome.
