Whenever I try to run the application I get a pop-up saying "The application "Space mining clicker _ mac _ itch" can't be opened. I have tried deleting and reinstalling it to no avail, is there anyway around this?

If it's saying it can't be opened because it is from an unknown developer, try this: hold down the control key and click on the app. Select "open" from the contextual menu that pops up. You should get the same box that it can't be opened, but now there is a button marked "open" if you click this it should open normally.
No worries! I got this game through the bundle for racial justice & equality, so if I simply can't access this game, while disappointing, I personally will be fine. I wanted to let you know so you could be aware of the issue, and if it was fixable that was a bonus. Thank you very much for your time and effort that you've put into this game and into trying to help me. If it ever does get resolved (or perhaps I get a non mac computer somewhere down the line) I will give the game a play.
I will receive a mac book pro tomorrow lend by a dev friend to test that. I will remove the mac build from the game description if I have the same problem on this computer. The weird thing is all my mac builds (for my other games) available on Steam are working perfectly (I have some people on Discord using Mac and giving me feedback during alphas or betas)...
Hey, the fix for this is to follow the top answer here: https://superuser.com/questions/1127274/the-application-exampleapp-can-t-be-opened-how-to-modify-the-executable-statu
Then you'll need to go to Security and Privacy and allow the app to open anyway (ignoring the malware potential warnings). This fix works for a lot of the games in this bundle. Not sure what causes this but it has to due with the Catalina update as far as I can tell.
