Yes I had this problem. The reason being is dani isn't an identified developer, so apple blocks him. You need to go into terminal to solve this. Here's what I used to open it:
does anyone know if it works on past versions of mac (catalina to be precise, the only reason why I have catalina is because I don't have space for higher versions) When I donwload mac 64bit it just says this application cannot be open.
I added the game to the steam library and tried running, im using a 2013 macbook pro, the game opens, but I’m not able to find servers, or create them. how to fix??
install crab game in steam (yeah its windows but still do it) then launch windows version, exit and launch the one you installed from itch, steam will recognize it as the crab game you installed on steam
I have a solution for Mac, that i found in comments
You need to download Mac version from here, and windows version from Steam, after that Steam will recognize Mac version as Windows, and everything will be OK. BUT! You can't play on servers, because Dani haven't uploaded version 1.29 here.
For Linux Users, after installing the game and extracting the .zip folder; make sure Steam(normal linux steam not the one using WINE) is running in the background after that open the installed game folder and before opening the game application go to the properties of the game application and click on the permissions tab and make sure "allow this file to run as a program" is checked and then open the game application normally and you should see the server list with the available online servers in your region and should work pretty smooth. this worked with me figured id tell other people.
You have to install crab game (windows version on mac yes) and then launch the one you installed from here and steam will recognize it as crab game and everything will be fine
Dani needs to update the mac version though because its currently at 1.28 and 1.29 is out
It works, just download the game on steam and launch the game on Steam. (you must have this version downloaded and itch.io active). For some reason, you cannot create lobbies though.
i cant get it to open. when I try, it opens for a split second, then closes. any help would be appreciated :) (btw I'm on iMac (27-inch, Mid 2011) version High Sierra 10.13.6)
from what i now proton need vulkan to work so first verify if your gpu has vulkan support then try using a proton version 6.3-7 https://www.protondb.com/app/1782210

doesn't work for me
HOLY SHITT THANKS BRO IT WORKED!!!!!!
simple version:
1 download crab game on stream (windows ver)
2 exit windows version
3 install the one from itch and (open it)
4 there you go!!!
Can you join a server though? It opens the game but I can't see any servers and can't start my own game
you can
How do I know if i have to use silicon or 64bit?
and what do i have to type at [app path]
Click on the apple symbol on the top right of ur screen, and click “About This Mac”, There u can see whether you have an intel or silicon processor.
Did you buy the M1 mac? M1 = silicon Any other one = 64bit
you need to type the file path of where your game .exe is located.
SOOOOOO

Dani Mac is working perfectly, I dunno linux but just saying that Mac is working multiplayer
Whenever I go to join servers, there isn't any server there. When I got sent a code and pressed join nothing happened.

hey yo get the game for Windows on itch or else you know the drill
there is a windows version on steam
https://store.steampowered.com/app/1782210/Crab_Game/
plz make it on window cuz steam version is terrible
yea
the itch.io version is the same thing
they all require steam anyway so it would make no difference
edit: spelling mistakes I suck at keyboarding
both would be steam version cuz multiplayer needs to connect steam servers
why is there no windows version:(((( i can't download steam becuase my parrent didn't allowed me to download it:(((((((((((((((C
just make a free steam account without your parents knowing, its that simple
you're 7-9 years old probably, you shouldn't even play this
im 11 :/
bruh
soooo i can sign up it if i age 11 or can't?
you need to be 13 or older, but nobody really cares
For some reason, when I open it, it just closes.
why couldnt you make a windows version :((((

It works, just download the game on steam and launch the game on Steam. (you must have this version downloaded and itch.io active). For some reason, you cannot create lobbies though.
You have to play the mac version here, playing it on steam is only for window so you can't create lobby
mac bersion is horrible
MAKE A WINDOWS VERSION
