Thank you for getting the game, I'm so sorry it's not launching for you. I haven't seen this error before. Have you tried launching it directly from the downloaded app package itself (vs. inside the itch launcher)? Do you know what operating system you are running? Usually running in the itch launcher HELPS with the Mac issues we've seen users experience. Apologies that you're having the opposite experience.

Oh no! So sorry it's crashing on you. Thank you for the detailed report. Some questions: When did you download the game? Has it ever worked for you? Has this crash error always happened? Or just on the latest update build? Videlectrix will consult with Open Source Greg and see if we can learn anything.

Sorry to hear the game's not working for you! A new updated version was just uploaded if you'd like to try that first. But if not, just let us know (or if the new version still doesn't work) and we will request a refund for you from itch's support team.

Yes, as long as you download and execute the game from the same folder or location that you previously used, then Save Files and Room Progress (i.e. which ones you have completed and your score) should all remain untouched. The only issue that may arise is if you load a save  game from a version that had a bug which has since been fixed. Sometimes this will cause weirdness or errors after updating. But please let us know if you experience any issues!

Hold tight! It's on its way! Working out a few non-Steam kinks. Thanks for your patience!

Thanks for all the enthusiasm! And for all the bug finds! Sorry there are so many! Were these new ones you noticed with the Dino Pie update? Or potentially coulda been there all along? Either way, we're on it. These all sound like some "first game make" type mistakes that we overlooked as we applied our "second game make" knowledge to the update.

Argh! So sorry! Steam Achievement remnants causing problems when we switch to Itch! Should be fixed now.

Glad you like the new musical additions and apologies for the crashiness!

This was a horrible oversight! Apologies! Never meant to deprive the itch folks of their full Dinosaur Pie! Just uploaded a new build that should contain it, along with a linux version.

And if you need more Dino Pie, check out Rich Trott's amazing instrumentalized version HERE.

Let The 'Trix know if anything seems weird with it. Our first steps into Open Source Greg territory!

Hmm. You're not supposed to be able to get over 170. Any idea how you did it? And what was your final total score?

1.01 is live for itch now as well. Git at them eggs! 'Pologies for the delay!

Yup! We're just waiting for the soundtrack to go through the Steam approval process. It will be available there as soon as they approve.

Glad you got it running. Sorry about the cutscene stutter. They are just movies playing but the codec we used was only tested on Win and Mac so it might be that there's a better codec to use for Linux. We will continue to look into the possibility of a Linux version since this project was made in Unity.

Sadly, haven't been able to find anything yet. It was tested on High Sierra and worked fine there but possibly we overestimated how far back a MacOS release we could support. There is still a chance that if we get Apple Certification (which is proving more difficult to achieve than anticipated), it might solve the problem. If you are not up for waiting for that, I totally understand and just let me know if I need to request a refund for you.

Looking into this now! So sorry you can't get it to run! If it's determined that it can't run on your OS, I can request a refund from itch. Apologies!

Working on this very thing!

I know the Steam version works with Proton and runs fairly well on Steam Deck. So maybe?

Oh good, this lines up with the bug I found when researching your issue. Like you said, fortunately it doesn't seem to fully break anything but it makes it confusing. This will get patched in the next update. Thanks for finding it!

Sorry you're experiencing some buggins. How are you interrupting him getting the water? I am unable to replicate. Once I click the cup on the sewer water, it's like a short cutscene that won't let me click anywhere until he's done getting the water. I will continue to look into this.

Posted this in the main game description as well, but it appears to be an Apple Certification issue that can be avoided if you run the game in the Itch.io desktop app:

MAC Users:  **We are working on getting Apple Developer Certification. Until then, the best solution Itch.io has recommended is to download the itch.io desktop app:

https://itch.io/app 

and run the game from inside the app. This seems to solve the "this file is corrupted and should be trashed" error some users are getting. Apologies for the inconvenience as we navigate Apple Developer Funland!

Let us know if this solves the issue.

We will look into this as well. What app is it saying you need to download? It shouldn't require any new software to play. Compy386 and above compatible. Nedscape 2.5.

Is it telling you the zip file is damaged? Or the .app file inside? Also, what macOS are folks running?

Booooo! Working on this now. Not sure what's up with the Mac version. Apologies.

A bug fix update to clear out residual Steamins was in-process. You should be good to dornlowd now!

Give Videlectrix a li'l bit to see if a port is possible. Er, a porst is protable.

Updated. Give the game a re-download when you have a chance. Should have all the Steaminess removed. Apologies if this causes any save data or progress loss. Thanks for your launch day patience! "Paunchience" I call it!

Hold tight Good Graphickateers! There's some leftover Steam garbage in these itch versions of the game! Give Videlectrix a few mins to sweep it out and reupload (and reapplaud) the game for ya! Apologies!
