Version 0.9.09 not working on MacOS

When I open the game all I get is a popup that says "The application “wohgame0909” can’t be opened." It's not a security thing as I've had those settings disabled for some time.

Anyone else have this problem and anyone got a fix for it? I'm on MacOS 10.15.3.

Yeah, those are the settings I've had disabled for awhile. MacOS is not restricting me opening it, I know what that error message looks like.

I figured it out and incase anyone else has the same error here's the solution:

The executable part of the app contained in the MacOS folder of the application isn't marked as executable. Open terminal and go to the folder which contains the game, then run chmod +x wohgame0909.app/Contents/MacOS/* and it'll mark it as executable properly and the game will run.

Can confirm that this work on .10 

I ran from a new terminal, after copying the game into Applications:

cd /Applications

chmod +x wohgame.app/Contents/MacOS/wohgame 

chmod +x wohgame.app/

open wohgame.app

Which threw the standard security warning but then I ctl-clicked -> Opened from the finder on the App and selected Open from the dialog.

Seems to work fine now

This didn't work here. I am running OS 10.11 and it simply tells me the application is damaged and I should move it to the trash (not my words, the OS'!).

Good news is the Windows version seems to work perfectly fine through WINE.

It will work if you use "xattr -cr /path/to/application.app" as mentioned by @ourself here:

I eventually managed to get version 0.9.09 working, but now with 0.9.10 I'm following the same steps as before but not having any luck - getting the "Unable to find game!!:" pop-up message instead.

I had the same problem. 
Have you tried download the itch.io app and download the game directly from the app? it works fine for me after I download my game thru the app, same w/ the demo.
my mac is 10.15.3

That would make sense, I’ll try it later on and see how it goes. Thanks!

Downloaded the app, works perfectly!
