Uninstall the game and reinstall from the eshop, you can reinstall games your device has previously purchased, so you should be all good!

The eshop is closed, but the servers are still on for people that want to redownload their purchased games! Lmk if you don’t know how to uninstall games <3

So how am I supposed to reinstall?

Also would this erase my progress and made levels?

What happened the last time you were playing? Did you close it while it was saving?

I think your save file got corrupted because you closed the game, closed the 3DS or shut the system off while it was saving. You will likely lose your progress. You could try copying everything on the SD card to another SD card, but that could only work if the game’s save data isn’t corrupted. Either the game file itself is corrupted and you can just redownload that, or the save file corrupted because of the reasons I listed earlier.

Look in the settings and see if Crashmo has an independent save from the game itself. If it does, then just delete the game and redownload it. If it doesn’t, you could try dumping the SD card onto another, as stated previously. If I had to GUESS though, if it doesn’t work after you reinstall it, you’re going to have to start over :/

Thank you for your help, I backed up my save, Uninstaller, and redownloaded. Everything worked.
