Can't get the game to run on macOS at all.
I've copied it to the Applications folder and already have settings to allow applications from anywhere but it's still saying the application is damaged.
Running macOS Catalina 10.15.2 on a 2019 MBP.

Heya, thanks for reporting this. It does seem like there's something different for Catalina, I was able to replicate it on a machine with Catalina and got the same results. I'll do some research into this issue.

Okay so it seems like Apple has changed how developers can hand off software in Catalina and basically made it impossible to give someone software without heavy restrictions and a paid developer account.

This is very disappointing, I don't currently have one but I'll consider getting one as I do want Mac users to be able to play the game.

I was able to work around it by downloading the itch.io app and launching the game through there. Sorry I know that's inconvenient and you've probably already gone through a lot to troubleshoot things but that's a way to play the game right now.
