Replacing png assets with a transparent image instead of removing them is another viable option that guarantees the game will not crash when looking for them.

==Removing unwanted elements from a screen==
Often a button or other element pollutes the view or forces cropping more space from the image than you wanted to. You are not required to try these steps, but a better logo improves how the game will be presented in the launcher. The easiest solution when a image has a plain background is to simply cover the elements in an image editor; you can select an adjacent area of the background in Paint and stretch it to cover the element.

When a game uses multiple assets for a screen, another approach is to look at the "frames" section in JPEXS, select the frame of the screen you want to use if any and right click the unwanted elements in the left menu to remove them from the screen. Then, export the selection or take a snapshot of the frame and later close the file without saving. In this case, the character's body was separate from its face, the background and game's title, so this was an easier solution.
