Thanks for the detailed reply! Most of your problems can be explained by just having 3 days to make the game, the timers being stuck and the crashes is something I've never seen on my system. It would be greatly appreciated if you could tell me what kind of system you are playing on and what you were doing when it crashes.
Anyhow I'm going to sit down and fix the text scaling and have a look at the timers.
Thanks again!
