Hi.
This is a recurring issue with MacOS. It works in some computers, but not in others. The most guaranteed way to make it work is emulating Windows inside your Mac.
Thank you for bringing that up. I might take down the Mac version for now if it's so unstable.
The best way to know if the connection is working is the "No controllers connected" screen in the main menu.
Sorry for the inconvenience :(
I've actually just tried it on another Mac and it works!
I suggest that rather than taking the Mac version down entirely, maybe leave a disclaimer about some potential issues on that platform?
My pleasure :) My 6yo daughter saw this game a while ago and we've been looking forward to being able to play it!
So.. it works on:
MacBook Pro (16-inch, 2019), running macOS Monterey (12.1)
It does not work on:
MacBook Pro (15-inch, 2018), running macOS Big Sur (11.6.1)
When I launch BurnitQuest on the laptop that does work, it prompts me with this dialog on the disclaimer page:
Both laptops are enterprise-provisioned, meaning they're running various bits of remote management software (like Jamf). The one that doesn't work is running more of such things, such as Cortex XDR (which is an anti-virus type of thing afaiu). Its firewall is actually disabled (as opposed to the one that does work, which has an enabled firewall and prompts as noted above) and so it seems like something else is blocking incoming connections?
Anyway, happy to help and/or chat via discord (if you can post a fresh invite link).
Interesting!
It might also just be a matter of it not working in older versions of MacOS.
Sincerely, there are so many variables and things that can go wrong when using networking controllers that I don't even know where to get started.
This info you just gave me is golden, I'll figure out a way to describe this in the Itch and Steam pages.
Thank again for this, hope you and your daughter have fun working out! =))
Here's an updated Discord invite link in case you want to join our community:

Also, if you could let me know how you've heard about the game it would be great!
thanks, I’ve joined it now!
Re: how we found it.. I think we just stumbled upon BurnitQuest while browsing games on itch.io. Afair we were looking for local coop games
