Thanks for including Mac and Linux, I love the "no gamer left behind" practice.

NOTE: Your Mac version is actually broken. I think I've seen this on many Ludum Dares where the .app is directly added to a .zip.  If you put the .app into a .dmg disk image first, it should be protected. I'm happy to do this for it, if you're willing to share your project files.
EDIT: I fixed it without project files but it crashed at the beginning of the house level. I might give it another look tonight.

Thank you for trying! I built on Windows and wasn't able to test on Mac, is there a process for making it work correctly?

First: Here's my fixed copy of the game if you'd like to just share this with your players. I'd suggest just downloading it and uploading it in place of your current mac version: "fix"

FYI, I played again and it still goes to a black screen at the beginning of the second level. But at least the driving portion works.

If they have the existing version of your game, here's the steps I followed:

  1. Download Barbenheimer_Mac.zip
  2. Extract to a folder called "Barbenheimer_Mac"
  3. Inside "Barbenheimer_Mac", create a new folder called "Contents"
  4. Copy all other files/folders inside "Barbenheimer_Mac" into "Contents" (in the end, "Contents" should be the only folder inside "Barbenheimer_Mac" with everything else being in sub-folders
  5. Rename the folder "Barbenheimer_Mac" to a file "Barbenheimer_Mac.app"
  6. right-click (or ctrl-click) on "Barbenheimer_Mac.app" and choose "Show Package Contents"
  7. Navigate to "/Contents/MacOS" and find the file called "Barebenheimer" ( it should have a white page icon)
  8. Open a Terminal window
  9. In terminal, type in the following command (without quotes) but DO NOT press enter: "chmod +x "
  10. Drag "Barbenheimer" from the finder window to the terminal window. Now your terminal should read something like "chmod +x /Users/yourname/Downloads/Babenheimer_Mac/MacOS/Barbenheimer"
  11. press enter.  The white page icon in finder should turn into a terminal icon
  12. Should be good to go, now when you double-click on "Barbenheimer_Mac.app" the game should start.

I might try installing the Linux version later.
