Pretty sure that happens when you load into a scene that has been altered. Try hitting rollback and playing from there.
Can't be it as the app never loaded, nor have I altered anything in the game files. I just installed the APK, ran it once to load the data folder, put the game file in the files in said data folder.
I tried it on a phone with a broken battery and it worked so my guess is either I somehow broke python on the phone I originally tried it with, or python just doesn't natively work on this device. If you have another guess though I'd like to hear it as it's a pain being stuck to a charger to play this game.
Note: I tried again with the updated version and got a new error, this time after error handling whereas before it happened before loader init.
Full traceback:

I doubt there is any fix, but again if there is I'd like to try it
