Initially save and restore crashed app as it hadn't requested storage permissions automatically. Once this was enabled all working well and lots of fun being eaten by hungry grues.

I love the whole premise of the game, but find it difficult to find IFs that I would like. Adding in a feature to sort out the genres of IFs would be great.
