Okay so far I have found nothing on my end.
If you play again, try to enter a seed number manually when starting a new game. Each seed from 0000000 - 0000100 was hand tested and should not crash.
If it crashes, please specify your system specs, so I can look further into this.
Running Shoes do work on my end as well, both with a gamepad and Keyboard (virtual B-Button is mapped to S-Key, later you will be able to customize your input mappings)
Thank you for your help!
