M1 Mac support

[AshEnke]

The game doesn't launch on a M1 Macbook Air :(
I know I can buy it on the ipad and play it anyway, but I'd love to be able to cross play it on a windows desktop

Thanks for letting us know. We'll see if we can figure it out.

Just wanted to note that I'm also unable to run it on my MacBook Air.

For the record, I have gotten the game to work by following the instructions in this Reddit post (intended for Loop Hero, but the underlying issue is the same): https://www.reddit.com/r/macgaming/comments/lwvm3i/loop_hero_on_m1/gppg3mf/

Works with "open in rosetta" set, but res is limited to 1440x900 due to retina scaling. Should be easy to fix as most games run fine.

You can get it native by changing res with EasyRes app, but it scales the mouse and suboptimal.

Works fine on M1 with the instructions from above reddit post:

Right click the game in your Steam library list

Under Manage, click "Browse local files"

In the Finder window that opens, right-click the Loop_Hero app, select Get Info, and check the "Open using Rosetta" checkbox

Back in Steam, run the game

Bumping. Forcing Rosetta worked for me.

For the devs -- outside of fixing native silicon support, I think you can address this by either having Unity build the Mac version with "Intel" set as the target architecture rather than "Intel + Apple Silicon", or by updating your plist.info file to prioritize x86_64: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/bundleresources/information_property_list/lsarchitecturepriority
