The game for some reason can't be opened normally when first downloading and starting. This issue also occurs with the demo version too.

To fix this, you'd have to make "nwjs" binary inside the application bundle "executable" in order to run it.

Example command: 

chmod +x <path to crosscode app bundle>/Contents/MacOS/nwjs

Now after dealing with that, trying to launch the game will result in an instant crash. No matter if you launch the binary from the application bundle or you run it from the terminal.

Here is a stack trace of what happened:
