When I load the game, it gets to about 48% then crashes to the desktop with no error messages. I have no mods installed and have tried the usual steam stuff including a full uninstall/reinstall. There is nothing in the log that looks like an error as far as I can see but it is included below just in case:

48% would mean that the game was in the process of loading sprites into memory when it crashed.
First I would test if the standalone version from the website works.

Well this is a bizarre occurrence! After downloading the demo and finding that it worked correctly, I then attempted to run the game again and it seems to have started working

I have no idea what has happened but at least I can play again

Thanks for your input

Ok, if it happens again try running a memory test, issues that fix themselves are often hardware issues.
