I guess everything is in the title. I've made the game executable (777 permissions) but it won't launch. With the x86_64 version I get nothing, but on the x86 version I get a "No such file or directory" error while trying to launch it (I also made it executable). I'm on x86_64, so I don't know why the correct version of the game won't launch (not even a single task in a system monitor app, I've tested).

I'm having the same issue. Following this.

If you could give more details about your config, the output etc it would maybe give some hints. Also you can look at the log in ~/.config/unity3d/adamgryu/A\ Short\ Hike/Player.log.

I am using Debian unstable on Sway (Wayland) and Mesa 20.1.1. On Wayland you need to unsure to unset SDL_VIDEODRIVER because the Wayland backend does not work well. With this config the game (amd64 version) works like a charm :-).

on debian it works for me too

won't respond to any attempt to launch after extraction, double clicking, right click > open, nothing. ubuntu 20.04

chmod +x AShortHike.x86_64 worked for me on Arch.

Install through the itch.io app. It'll install the games and add nice launcher. I'm using Manjaro KDE. Itch app is in community repo.

Right click on the .x86_64, go to properties and make sure "Allow executing as program" is ticked!

I'm on X11, yes the permissions are 777 (a.k.a +x or "Allow executing as program" as mentioned in the original post. Also, the itch.io app is too heavy for my internet. Running it from command line works, but not directly by double clicking on the file.

Oh, nevermind about the itch.io app being too heavy. It was just slowly downloading at first, then the download speed increased. My bad.

work on   Ubuntu 18.04.4 LTS

I tried with and without the itch.io desktop app, marked to run as program yet won't launch, not even through the desktop app.

Ubuntu Unity 20.04.3 LTS.

Edit: Found the solution for Ubuntu

$ sudo apt-get install libglu1-mesa:i386 libxcursor1:i386

Now I'm coming across an entirely new problem: the buttons on my trackpad completely stop working when the game is running, requiring me to perform an emergency shutdown.

 libglu1-mesa:i386 libxcursor1:i386 are current and the app only opens 2 seconds and shuts down
