Maybe try this? It seems to be a permissions issue with the ZIP

For Mac users who’ve downloaded an .app, you’ll need to do a bit of Terminal maintenance. Right-click the .app, navigate to /Contents/MacOS, and find the single Unix executable file. Open a terminal window and type in “chmod +x “, then drag in the Unix executable. You should wind up something that looks like this:

chmod +x /Users/UserName/Downloads/Terra Nil.app/Contents/MacOS/TerraNil

Hit enter, you should see the icon change, and your .app should be good to go!

Did it several time, tried running the terminal from different folders, it always, however says:

usage: chmod [-fhv] [-R [-H | -L | -P]] [-a | +a | =a [i][# [ n]]] mode|entry file ...

chmod [-fhv] [-R [-H | -L | -P]] [-E | -C | -N | -i | -I] file ...

And the file icon doesn't change, it remains blank. Btw it previously asked for my password, now it doesn't. Maybe i should do something with the .zip itself? Dunno.

Damn! Sorry :/ I'm busy investigating to see whether I can come up with a different solution for you

I'm sure I'm not the only one, who will appreciate it! Thank you!) I run Catalina 10.15.6 on a late 2015 13-inch Macbook Pro (256 Gb) if it helps in any way)) I can also send screenshots.

Hey! I looked through what you said but this is the first time I've had to do this. Usually things like Minecraft, Discord, Twitch, etc just download and that's it apart from a few extra steps. So any help with this one?

@Buldozer @iamfire297 I've just posted a new build, where I've zipped a DMG file - this should hopefully solve the permissions issue, please try for me

Love ya! Thanks, that helped! The OS still didn't wanna open the app as it is from an unauthorized publisher ( :-D ) and may contain malware, but this time I just allowed the app to open anyway in Security General Settings and it finally ran!) Thanks a lot for the effort, I'm sure others will also find this useful. I'm off to finally play your game) May the Force be with you!
