Hey, I tried opening the Full version on Mac, and I get the message "You do not have permission to open this application on Mac." I am the administrator, so this shouldn't be a problem. I was wondering if you know how to fix this? Thanks!

Hey hey! Thanks for checking out the game, and I'm sorry to hear you're having trouble with opening the mac version >.< I don't personally own a mac, so I have no way of testing on my mac myself, and no idea how they work :( Someone else mentioned having the same problem, they managed to get it to run in the end, but they said they couldn't remember how. I'll have to ask in the support section for the engine I'm using and see if anyone there can help! I'll let you know as soon as I find out any suggestions :3

I found the following comments on the support forums related to mac, but I don't know of any of them will be helpful for you. It would appear it's a more common issue than I thought >.< Hopefully, one of the suggested fixes will work for you! :3

* You might need to right click (or ctrl-click) and then select "Open" to get around Mac security settings. Unless you code sign your application you may need to also disable Gatekeeper by setting System Preferences -> Security & Privacy -> Allow apps downloaded from "Anywhere". I highly recommend turning that back on after you start your application if you do end up needing to allow apps downloaded from "Anywhere"

*Those who download, do not double click it: right click and extract using a 3rd party extractor like The Unarchiver or Keka

- Double click the extracted app, Mac will show a message saying that it is not allowed to run
- Go to system security settings, unlock it and click to open it
- Now it should work!
