Hm not sure, might be a permission problem. I uploaded another build just now, can you try that? Also maybe try running the Hyperspace Harvest script in the game folder instead of the exe thing. I remember people having the same issue with my other game and over there this did the trick. For reference: https://itch.io/t/882619/linux-binary-dont-run-no-libgdcppso-lib

Thanks, the script has brought me a step further. It sets the library path to the base dir of the game. But still when trying to start the following error appears:

./ExeLinux: error while loading shared libraries: libpng12.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I searched for libpng12.so.0 but this seems to be missing and was not coming with the download.

The new download I cannot open at all. It seems that the gz contains another gz that cannot be extracted.

Ok I just did another push, can you check whether that unpacks? Also added a link to that missing file in the script.

Okay, I get it to work now. Your build is fine but on newer ubuntu versions, the libpng12-0 is not available anymore and one has to install it manually.

For others that face this problem, follow the instructions here:
