I guess a patch will have to wait until after the jam. I've played through it a few times without it crashing though, so I hope it doesn't bother too many.
Just curious, did try playing again after the crash? That vending machine wasn't essential to completing the level anyway :)
I did try ^^;;;; but well, not very successfully either ^^;;;; when I grabbed the sword, it kept pushing me on the opposite direction, and so, for instance, if the sword was on the right side, I couldn't mode to the right, because the sword kept pushing the player. Also, when I got to the mob of monsters, they crowded me, and I couldn't swing the sword ^^;;;;;;;;;;;
