Hi Sundust,

Are you using an M1 Mac? If not, you can download the Mac Intel version.

If you are on an M1, we've only got a virtual publisher for an M1 Mac, so we don't have the ability to test it extensively. We plan to get one this year, but since we didn't have one for publishing the current beta build, there can be errors that we can't really troubleshoot. So that's why it's a beta version.

If you're on an M1 and it still isn't working, it's probably best to just refund it for now, as we're working on finalizing the last paths for the game, so we don't know when we can take a look at the M1 build and start troubleshooting it.

I'm sorry about that; I'll keep things updated on the builds as I have more news on them on Twitter/Discord.

Best,

Whitehand

Great news!! I managed to get the game to open! :) :) :)

I tried a bunch of things from updating my Mac, to trying out command terms in the Terminal. Now that I've figured it out it's so much easier than what I was trying. :)

How to play the game on an M1 Mac:

- Install the Intel version

- Right click the game in finder

- Hit "Get Info"

- Check the box beside "Open in Rosetta"

- When a new message appears saying apple couldn't check the security of the app (well I've dealt with this message before), hit the question mark.

- Scroll down to hit "Open the general pane for me" (This is just a shortcut to Security and Privacy in system settings).

- Grant the app permission to open regardless of security concerns.

I hope this helps anyone else who really wants to play the game but also only has an M1 to play on.

Thank you Whitehand for making this super fun game. :)

Best wishes. :)

Hi Whitehand,

thanks a lot for your communication and effort.

Still I cannot play the game on my M1 mac. I would like to claim for refund. How can I do that?

Hi Toketoro,

For purchasing through itch.io, you have to contact their support for a refund. We're still working on M1 and tablet stuff, so it hasn't been abandoned, so hopefully have it available for you in the future ( ^^)/

Best,

Whitehand
