I tried to install this game on my phone but it wont install and it just says "app not installed", with no further information. I have tried both the 1.0 and the 1.1 versions but they both have the same issue. I wish android was at least a bit more open with the user for issues like this because I'm not sure what the problem could be. My phone is running android 10 and I have over 5 GB of free space. If those seem fine, is there anything else that I could check?

This happened to me before I got onto PC. The way I solved it was to install an external apks installer, this is because the default android app installer absolutely sucks and it gives a lot of errors with no explanation. I don't remember what the apk installer I used back in the day was called, but you can just look it up easily.

Ok thanks. I found one that seems to work, as I can install other apps with it but it's saying that Mousegun isn't compatible with my phone. I'm not sure if it's the issue but my phone, while it has an arm8 (64bit) processor, is running an arm7 (32bit) version of android. If that is the issue, then I'll have to try again later if I get a better phone.

Yes, there is very little you can do about incompatibility sadly. If the incompatibility comes from software, you can easily solve it by installing drivers, android roms, and updates. If it's hardware we're dealing with.... We're screwed...

Wait, if that's just an architecture issue, I can make a 32bit version export, just a sec, I'll try that.

Ok, I updated the ANDROID 1.1 version to include 32bit architecture, this should work now. The file just got slightly bigger as a result.

Yeah, that fixed the issue. Only problem now is that it lags for me, so I'll have to try again later if I get a better phone. My phone was $30 new, so a lot of games and apps don't run well.

Ah yeah, if your phone is low on performance, that can happen :/

It's a common Android issue. You have to click on "read more" and then click on the tiny "install anyway".
