Or maybe I'm just seeing things, or it's just a coincidence? As Startropics is one my favourite games ever, I approve either way.

I just purchased this game on Steam. It will not start. It installed successfully, but every time it tries to start, it shows the "Zeboyo Games" screen, shows a brief flash of a title screen, starts playing music, and promptly crashes--showing an error screen while the background music continues to play. The contents of the error screen are as follows (note that you cannot see to the end of each line, as they are in a window that is not resizable and cuts them off): ****CRASH LOG**** Press Back to Exit Exception: An invalid operation was performed.

I'm looking forward to playing cthulhu saves the world, and I hope that you continue to develop more games in the future. You've given some hope to the rest of the indie developers out there that they can make a great product with comedic value that also has integrity as a classic rpg.

Personally I am offended when I purchase a game and it does not work.

I have also killed the boss, got the glasses and I still can't go north. Do I need to restart the game to try to get around this? Love the game other than this. I would really like to finish.
