In the comments section of my rather scathing review of Rad Rodgers, one of the devs behind the game, a man named Fred, was wondering what happened. In a rather refreshing show of humility, he wasn't upset that I disliked the game, but questioning why I even encountered so many bugs.
Apparently there was a series of glitches in the release version that caused most of the problems I had encountered and a new patch had addressed those issues.
