Hey! are you on Intel or apple chip?

apple chip

Can you try these instructions and let me know? Apologies for the inconvenience.

1) Open the Terminal app.

2) Copy and paste this command into Terminal: chmod -R 755

3) Then drag the Malevolent Planet icon into Terminal. When you release the mouse button, the path to Malevolent Planet appears in Terminal

4) Press return.

5) Malevolent Planet will now run properly when you double click the icon

no luck its still saying it can't be opened, infact the title of the game shows up as MacOS I'm not sure if that's normal.

MacOS is a bit of a mess for games lately. If you don't mind, could you tell me what you tried to do to make the game work? Did you extract the .zip before you tried to run the app inside the MacOS folder?

my computer kinda just does it, i never have to manually extract things unless they're mods for like the sims. this is the first time i've had any issues with a game. sorry i couldn't help more

Ok, but was the error showing up when you were trying to open the zip file or after you extracted the files from the zip?

I think I have discovered the issue, I will update the builds in the post.

I was able to run the game through the itch.io app
