Great game, but crashes after opening fight – Shantae: Risky's Revenge FULL Review

The Shantae games are fantastic, wonderful action adventure games, and being able to play on iOS is a really nice idea. Unfortunately, on my iPhone 6 on iOS 9.2, the game crashes after the opening fight. I haven't seen any updates in a few years, but hopefully someone at WayForward sees this and a patch can come around to fix it.
