I'm not really sure what I am doing trying to set this game up. It shows as a Rar file, and for some reason doesn't do anything when i try to activate or run it. I'm trying to launch it via Java but my computer is a pain in the ass so I have to figure out java all over again. Is that the right route? or should I be trying to get it going another way. I'm not seeing a whole lot of answers on the forums here either.

Use a program like winrar or 7zip to extract the files. I personally used 7zip and the game runs fine.

Edit: spelling

Edit 2: The new update (v0.5.8) has now made the download a zip file rather than a rar, so you no longer need either of the above programs. Now you just right click the download and click extract all.

could you give a little more explanation on how to open it? Like a step by step please.

Uuuh... never tried doing a step-by-step through text before, so I apologise if anything is hard to follow. Also sorry for the late-ish reply. 

1. download 7zip, just look it up and it should be the first site.

2. right-click the game file, and select "open with..."

3. you will see a menu appear with a bunch of apps. First, make sure the check box to always use the program is ticked, then click "more apps", then scroll to the bottom and click "look for another app on this pc"

4. locate where you downloaded 7zip, it should be very close to the game file. You'll want to select the 7zip file manager. It might be called 7zipfm.

5.  7Zip will now open the file, now just click "extract" to access the game

This assumes you are using windows. I don't use other platforms myself, so you'd have to ask someone else if you do.

which download do i do, there are several 7zip download files

Probably stick with the stabler version, 19.00, and try the 32bit download first. If it doesn't work, it should be too bad as the file size is so small you can just grab the 64bit download.

This was very helpful, thank you

Glad to help! :)

im using winrar and i've extracted the damn files like 5 time and still dont know how to play the game. I cant find any file named "application" or anything. Are you able to still play it? I don't know how to get it to run.

WinRAR *should* do the same things that 7 zip does, but I've never used it myself so I can't help much if the issue is from WinRAR specifically.

why does it say unsupported?

When you try to download 7zip or when you try to extract the files? Or somewhere else
