There is no known fix for this issue, some players got the issue fixed on Super Crate Box by deleting the Save Files.[1][2]

Issues fixed

Game crashes when many sound effects are played (Windows 8)

Many users report sudden game crash when many sound effects are played at once. The developers have not commented on this issue, so an official fix is not expected. However, an unofficial fix was made.

Notes

  1. File/folder structure within this directory reflects the path(s) listed for Windows and/or Steam game data (use Wine regedit to access Windows registry paths). Games with Steam Cloud support may store data in ~/.steam/steam/userdata/<user-id>/201480/ in addition to or instead of this directory. The app ID (201480) may differ in some cases. Treat backslashes as forward slashes. See the glossary page for details.
