What caused the crash?

It was very hard to find out because it only happened late into the game. Enemies have a chance to spawn with a mutation, one of them is 'Armor Plates', similar to the Blobs version it reduces incoming Ranged DMG by 80% (was 50% before, this is important later). Another one is specific to the 'Virus' enemy called 'Thorns', which does exactly what you'd expect. The longer the game goes on the higher the chance that an Enemy spawns with one of these mutations, and sometimes they even get multiple at once. Now what happens when a Blob with Thorns attacks a Virus with Thorns? They reflect the damage back to each other until one of them is dead. No problem here (although as of this version, reflected damage no longer triggers other reflected damage). The crash happens because if a Virus has both 'Armor Plates' and 'Thorns' the reflected damage (if it started from a ranged attack) would be reduced each time it bounces, until it eventually reaches 0. If that happens, no unit will die, resulting in an infinite loop. The crash only started to appear after some minor balance changes, one of which was buffing the Enemy 'Armor Plates' from 50% to 80%. Before that, the crash could have theoretically happened, but in most cases the damage was high enough to kill either unit before it reached 0. In the end the fix was pretty easy: If the reflected damage is 0 or less, ignore it.

0.8.0 version released - (hopefully) fixed a bug that could crash the game - Stat upgrades now also show up in the 'Legendary' category - 'Frozen Hull' now works properly and only slows attackspeed - 'Natural Selection' now gives 2 ranged DMG instead of 5 every 10 seconds - Upgrades that instantly spawn blobs and 'Spawn X blobs on Levelup' are now affected by 'Bonus Spawn Chance' - Enemy's mutation 'Plated Armor' now gives 80% reduced ranged DMG taken (was 50%) - Added Mutation 'Diagonal Strikes', allows blobs to attack diagonally in melee range - Blob melee attack is now capped at 99999 - Some other minor balance changes Expect another patch soon!
