The premise is the same: keep yourself and your astronauts alive. Wave after wave of aliens will attack you with bullets and space mines. Pick up floating astronauts and return them to asteroids before you are destroyed, or they float off into deep space. You have limited fuel in each level to destroy the aliens and keep your astronauts alive.

What makes this game unique is that you will play using the graphics, sounds, and gameplay available in the decade you choose.

Initial Release

Seems to be working perfectly with butler 14.3.0  :)

@Amos,

Thanks very much for the detailed information!  I appreciate the detail and the help.

I will digest all of this and will give it another try.  As I stated previously, my Mac knowledge is much more limited than my PC knowledge, and I wouldn't have been able to begin troubleshooting without your help.

I'm not really sure... but I basically uninstalled the old, installed the new, and v25 is up and running. 

Using butler to push a MacOs .app file... everything seem to go well.  I then try to install the file via the itch.io app and it appears to install, but when I Launch the app, i get the following error:

could not get executable path for app bundle

My Mac experience is somewhat lacking.  I've been copying the app file to my PC to do the push.  I cannot find any successful way to do a push on my Mac... I open terminal, try to do any butler command, and get "command not found".

Is there a simple set of instrucitons on how to successfully upload an .app file AND a guide on how to get butler commands to work?  I am reading all these pages and I'm basically told that this is uber-simple, but it's not.  Modifying PATH on a file that does not exist on my machine, etc., makes this all the more confusing.

Thanks

Guess not, so I just blew everything away and re-installed.

Hi,

I downloaded the v25 updater, ran it, and it looked like everything worked... I got a notification that install was successful and that the itch app is starting up, but I see that the version number is still on 23.6.3.

Any idea?

Thanks.

Thanks for troubleshooting, and thanks for playing!

Thanks... I reuploaded a new file.  I am not sure what the issue was since the old file appeared to work for me.  I packaged and uploaded using the itch app.  If you are having further problems, please let me know and I will have to look into it further.

Thanks! I appreciate your comments and review!
