Okay, I believe I've found and fixed the issue. Please give it another try when you've got the time!
I downloaded the new version and gave it another go and made it to the end just fine! Had a lot of fun! However, during the final judging session, my piece floated up into the sky and disappeared offscreen...I guess it was so good it ascended to the heavens lmao I consider this to be the perfect ending. Thank-you for fixing the bug and thank-you again to the whole team for making such a cool game!
