Glad to hear that it's working better!
We're working on fixing the input and streamlining the content after a1c3_2. That's why you are experiencing the bug you showed in your second edit as that scene is yet to be fixed. And yes, there is currently no content after the ball. We are working on that too!
Could you describe what happened around the time the game crashed after you played the minigame? Did you play it in the free time zone and how many turns remained (aka how many games have you played in that zone before the fan one)?
Thanks again for playing our game and providing feedback!
