You have to right click the game and press show package contents, then you go Contents-MacOS where you will see Crab Game. You then open terminal and type "chmod +x" add a space then drag Crab Game there and press enter, you then will be able to open it up.
You don't need bootcamp, just download the 64bit version even on M1 and if you get an error saying you can't open the game just open the terminal and enter:
sudo chmod -R 755 /Users/jc/Desktop/Mac_64bit.app
Drop the app after the 755 and it will enter the path automatically. You'll then be able to open the app normally
fyi i tried parallels and if you change the time to before or while you had parallels then the time will be the amount of days that you changed it before you got paralells
Both apple packages are broken (tested on m1 mbp) and steam version for mac is outdated :(
In this version binaries are not executables To fix this you can do `chmod +x macos/Crab\ Game` and same in _CodeSignature\ directory. After that make sure to de-quaraninize app (google for that or see Install Instructions) cause we changed a signed package.
But it's actually pointless cause actual version is 1.3 and one in here is 1.29, so...
I can actually play the game now on mac. However, its really REALLY laggy. Whenever I press a button, it takes 30 seconds or so to actually move. I'm on a mac mini (m1) if that helps.
Turn down the resolution. The same thing happened to me, tried turning down graphics but nothing worked. As soon as I turned down the resolution it worked like a charm.
Download the Crab Game (Mac 64bit) 1.29 version even if you have an M1 and run it through the terminal the first time, you will then be able to open it every time and it works perfectly well on my m1 macbook pro. I had to turn down the resolution because it was extremely laggy at first but now it's running at 60 fps with still a high resolution
These versions are outdated. On Linux you can just install Steam (use the version from the official site) and install crab game with Proton Experimental enabled. It works great! No need to use the executables from here.
i know it looks sus but it actually worked, u cant play online because dani needs to update to 1.3 but u can get in the lobby and stuff so it will be ready for when he does update it
@oakley there is a new update tomorrow and the thing is not working rn. Your not stupid. try tomorrow on the 1.3 version and it should work. tell me if u need more help.
hello there! my application says it's damaged and to move it to the trash (mac 64bit), anything? i don't know how to work the command because im stupid, any help?
@oakley_plank Open the terminal and have finder open with the crab game application there. Paste this sudo chmod -R 755 into your console then drag the application into the terminal next to the line of code. It should look like something like this with the downloads part depending on where you're keeping the application. Then just hit enter it should work after that.
Im having problems in the loading screen where it says setting and new game and all that. My mouse is a bit delayed like 30 seconds or so and when I click on something it take a minute. could that be because of the new update?
quick question, when is the new update coming out.

Do you want him to not even bother with Linux builds in the future? I would certainly prefer running a native Linux version over a Windows build in Proton. Saying things like that is why developers usually don’t even bother with Linux builds and you have to deal with issues like Tetris Effect crashing when it displays a video, which wouldn’t be an issue if it had a native build.
I don't really get to test it as it's out of date lol but it looks like it should mostly be working fine, to any noobs of linux: HOW TO INSTALL ON LINUX: 1- Download the file above 2- Create a folder to extract the game to 3- Extract the files to the folder 4- Right click "CrabGameLinux.x86_64" and go to properties 5- Go to permissions and check the box which says 'allow executing file as a program' 6- Exit out of the properties window and click on the file and the game should run! enjoy
why you give host kick and ban? Its a PVP game, and host in the game, use your mind what will happen. I already seen some host kick player who win the game. Is this what you want?
If you want to ruin this game, keep the kick and ban.

does anybody know anything about the new update?
no.
hope this helps
bruh
I'm using mac monetary, is it not supported?
Same, what error do you get?
The application “64bit” can’t be opened.
You have to right click the game and press show package contents, then you go Contents-MacOS where you will see Crab Game. You then open terminal and type "chmod +x" add a space then drag Crab Game there and press enter, you then will be able to open it up.
And now it says that it's damaged... :(
how to download :(
wait for dani to update the mac/linux file
You can alwways use boot camp through Mac. Learn how to install it there are many tutorials on YouTube
not on M1 bootcamp isn't compatible
Ohh right cause I'm on late a 2013 model and that's what I do whenever I play video games forgot about that, sorry
You don't need bootcamp, just download the 64bit version even on M1 and if you get an error saying you can't open the game just open the terminal and enter:
sudo chmod -R 755 /Users/jc/Desktop/Mac_64bit.app

how did you get it working with m1...
@awsomeSC same with me and I dont no how to fix it
I can actually play the game now on mac. However, its really REALLY laggy. Whenever I press a button, it takes 30 seconds or so to actually move. I'm on a mac mini (m1) if that helps.
Enable v-sync and\or decrease max fps to match your display's refresh rate
Turn down the resolution. The same thing happened to me, tried turning down graphics but nothing worked. As soon as I turned down the resolution it worked like a charm.
TYSM, you're a lifesaver :)
How did you manage to get it? all that happens when I open both versions is "cannot be opened"
Download the Crab Game (Mac 64bit) 1.29 version even if you have an M1 and run it through the terminal the first time, you will then be able to open it every time and it works perfectly well on my m1 macbook pro. I had to turn down the resolution because it was extremely laggy at first but now it's running at 60 fps with still a high resolution
what do you mean run it through the terminal?
Do what he does in this video, I did it and it somehow works perfectly now
Maybe it's because I'm on macOS Monterey or I'm on the new MacBook Pro, but I just get the error
The application “Mac_64bits” can’t be opened.
@NayamAmarshe what do I have to do im confused
1. Download Steam from https://store.steampowered.com/about/
2. Login and open steam.
3. After steam opens, in the menu click on View->Settings->Steam Play and check the 'Enable Steam Play for all other titles'
4. On steam search for Crab Game, install it and play :)
@Uzi.D prob today
@cadoozle look it up on youtube it is on there
When will 1.3 come out
These versions are outdated. On Linux you can just install Steam (use the version from the official site) and install crab game with Proton Experimental enabled. It works great! No need to use the executables from here.

@oMatter thank you for ur help
@oMatter no but I could should I if thats the problem. Im going to wait for the update tho so I dont have to set it up rn
ok
@oMatter thank you. and if it is the ping how would I fix it.
do you use a ethernet cable?
@omatter
Im having problems in the loading screen where it says setting and new game and all that. My mouse is a bit delayed like 30 seconds or so and when I click on something it take a minute. could that be because of the new update?
Thank you.
have you seen how much ping you have in game? maybe thats the problem ;/. I dont think its the update tho you must check after this update drops
Decreasing your resolution under "Video" should help with the lag
that might help too
quick question, when is the new update coming out.
And Im having problems in the loading screen where it says setting and new game and all that. My mouse is a bit delayed like 30 seconds or so and when I click on something it take a minute. could that be because of the new update?
Thank you.
the update is coming out prob coming out tmrw
is the new Mac update out yet?
sadly not
@dani I can play even your windows build just fine with proton
Do you want him to not even bother with Linux builds in the future? I would certainly prefer running a native Linux version over a Windows build in Proton. Saying things like that is why developers usually don’t even bother with Linux builds and you have to deal with issues like Tetris Effect crashing when it displays a video, which wouldn’t be an issue if it had a native build.
Of course we'd like the native versions better but since they're outdated, using Proton builds is a no-brainer.
that's exactly my point of using proton build instead of native
;(
For those who are having issues with launching the game: I was able to get the windows version of the game working via Proton Experimental
lol @dani we still wait for 1.3
yes
I don't really get to test it as it's out of date lol but it looks like it should mostly be working fine, to any noobs of linux:
HOW TO INSTALL ON LINUX:
1- Download the file above
2- Create a folder to extract the game to
3- Extract the files to the folder
4- Right click "CrabGameLinux.x86_64" and go to properties
5- Go to permissions and check the box which says 'allow executing file as a program'
6- Exit out of the properties window and click on the file and the game should run! enjoy
