I don't know much about Linux, but if you scroll down the comments you'll find that someone made a shell script for Linux. Perhaps that'll help?

Yes I tried the 64bits version. But that doesn’t work neither. The result is identical.

The issue is about where the data folder is. I though that could be related to the space char in the naming.

I don’t have any idea how to debug something here.

My shell locale is set to en_US. UTF-8. So I believe that the encoding is good enough.

Are you playing this via the itch launcher?

via the itch launcher or from the command line, the result is exactly the same: it cannot find the data folder :(

maybe the shown error is not the real one. There are some shared lib missing. WDYT?

On side, I managed to run your game from wine. As linux user that’s never the best option.

Anyway it’s pretty neat. Good job.

ok I got it. It is a folder naming issue obviously. But not because of the game folders. But because of my itch folder name

I moved

~/games/itch.io/littlebug/

~/littlebug/

and it worked out!

wondering why it still didn’t work when game placed in

~/games/littlebug/

I looked deeper. the issue was related to 2 similars folder names. On my system I get:

~/games
~/Games

so littlebug executatble got confused between those two

the good news is this little command fix the issue forever:

ln -s ~/games/itch.io ~/Games/itch.io

\o/

Thanks for digging into it and finding a solution!
