OK found the fix: https://itch.io/t/1980744/linux-issue

Dev, please include a readme with explicit instructions for how to actually run this game, in case access to the forums is ever lost or we are trying to play it offline.

OK so WikiHow says "add ./ to the start of the file to run it". So I typed in "./ExeLinux" and the following error occurred:

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

I guess this is progress? How do I fix this error? I can see a file called "libGDCpp.so" right there in the directory using 2,339,016 bytes of storage, so IDK why it's not being found.

Mint 21.3
I've downloaded, unzipped, and double-clicked the thing named "Hyperspace Dogfights". It shows a dialog asking if I want to run or display the file. I've tried running 'In terminal" or just "run", and nothing happens. If I "Display", a text editor appears showing:

#!/bin/bash

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=.:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH

./ExeLinux

So I tried running ExeLinux. No response to double-clicking, and if I open a terminal in the folder and type "ExeLinux" I am told "command not found"

WTF am I missing?? I'd love to play this game!
