Managed to fix the saving issue; I put the game in a folder on my Desktop, and now the save function works. No idea why it didn't before, though.
Is the game supposed to open on a Flash Projector window?
Also, I can't save the game; it says that the game is saved, but no save file is created and when I reopen the game the Load button does nothing.
Great game, btw. Really enjoyed it.
