Mac version available!

Phytomancer
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux

Dear players,

Thanks to the help of friends, we are now confident that the Mac version is stable, and thus we are happy to release it! You will find it in the downloads section, along the Windows and Linux versions.

We are not Mac users, and thus we will have trouble helping you with it. To launch the game on MacOS, we’ve been told of several methods. Please try each one described below, hopefully one will work for you! :)

Method 1

Unzip the file, then open the Phytomancer.app/ folder, then the Contents/ folder, then the MacOS/ folder, and finally open the Phytomancer file to launch the game.

Method 2

Launch a command-line terminal and use the following command:

xattr -cr Phytomancer.app

Changelog

We also used this opportunity to bring a few improvements to the game:

  • Fixed some small graphical issues (you probably haven’t noticed them ;) );
  • Added a “Restart” prompt when the player spends too long in a level. This is a small encouragement to start a level again from scratch, instead of being stuck in a loop where the player does not progress against pollution because it has become too strong, but does not loose either because the combination of trees and remedium makes them hard to defeat.

Thanks

We would like to thank everyone who’s played the game so far! We understand that it’s been quite hard for some of you, especially the last two levels. It is sadly unlikely that we will change the content of those levels, as we need to move on to other projects. Please consider them a challenge that, we hope, is worthy of your time!

Thank you as well to Paul, Niko and Benjamin for their help in testing the Mac version!

Cheers, The Phytomancer team
