Hey Marionette,
I'm so stoked to play this game, but for some reason, I can't even open the game on my computer. I'm playing on a mac with the latest bugfix and it says "The application 'Mac Fix' can't be opened." What do???
An hour later and I managed to find a way to open it, although I'm not sure if it's the safest so take this with a fat grain of salt. I opened the terminal, and typed in chmod +x once I typed that I went to the game file pressed show content for the file Mac Fix -> content -> MacOS drag the file you see into the terminal right next to where chmod +X is entered. at this point, the file you had dragged in should've turned into a black square with exec on it. it should open and you should be able to play it! Again I really just fiddled around with the files so I'm not so sure if it might ruin anything. and if it says cannot open due to unidentified, open system preferences -> security -> click the lock to make changes try to open the game and re-check system preferences, and you should see a button to just ignore the unidentified. this part doesn't do anything to mess your mac up.
I'm glad you managed to figure out a way that worked :3 I don't have a mac myself, so when people tell me all the different ways they've managed to successfully open stuff, it doesn't mean a whole lot to me >.< I'm not 100% sure without re-reading the whole post, but I think the method you described might already be on the list of things to try that I just linked in my reply to the above comment. If it's not, I'll add it to the list when I get a chance.
I have no idea which steps are the most useful/likely to work for the largest number of people >.< but everything on the list has apparently worked for someone at least x3
Hey hey! Unfortunately, from what I've been told over the years by other mac users, it's mainly down to the fact that mac has more enhanced security compared to windows, and so doesn't like unsigned indie games >.< Some folks have said they have the issue of not being able to open almost all mac builds of indie games on itch :(
Anyways, I made a whole post about it a while back that I keep updating with a bunch of info from different users with different things folks can try :3 But one of my friends was able to give me a really quick and easy way of fixing the not opening issue for most people!
So, she said that you just need to go to system preferences, then click on security and privacy, and then at the bottom, she said it should ask if you want to allow the app to play anyway.
If that doesn't work, this is the big ol list of other stuff I've compiled over the last couple of years xD Most of it doesn't make much sense to me, but hopefully, it does to Mac users x3
