How do i by pass this, since I can't play this game on my mac.

Developer

No idea. I don't use mac and none of my friends do as well. I compiled a mac version, because couple of people asked for it.

I don't know about running the game in MAC OS, but you could always install bootcamp and run it with windows. I don't even think I've booted my Macbook into MAC OS at any point this previous year. The only reason I even have the Macbook is because it was shipped to me for University, as some of the programs required to do coursework had no windows versions, and now that I am done with Uni, I have no reason to boot into MAC OS.

Hello there,

first of all you need to drag your download to the applications folder. After that you need to open the terminal on your Mac. From there enter this line of code "cd /Applications". For the next part, I highly recommend renaming the app into something simple like "chips". Then enter "chmod -R 755 chips.app" into the terminal. That should do it.

By the way. The controls are always a little above the actual icon...at least for me

Nice to see someone who knows their way around a Mac helping others out. Keep up the good work!

No way, thanks so much. Does this apply to all the other apps?

I’m not exactly sure how to do this. is it possible for you to go a bit more in depth with this explanation?

You're a star. I renamed it MDRG (acronyms FTW!) and had it in a different folder, but when I did cd (change directory, for those unfamiliar with Unix/Linux terminal/command line) to the location and ran the same command "chmod -R 755 MDRG.app", it worked like a charm. For anyone else reading, I still had to enable the game in Settings > Security & Privacy > General because it's an unsigned app. But this method 100% works. Thanks!

Download The Unarchiver from the app store, when opening the app choose Open With... and choose the Unarchiver.
