Can you play it on Mac or Linux?
The official answer is short: the stores publish Windows only. A Mac or Linux preset inside the Godot project is not a Mac or Linux release.
What is published
On 9 Nov 2026 the itch.io information column listed Windows, and the file was here-come-the-cats.zip. Game Jolt listed one Windows package at 62 MB. I looked for a second file marked macOS or Linux on both pages and did not find one. The author had not answered the Mac requests in the comments I could read that day.
What is only in the project
The public export_presets.cfg contains three targets: Windows, macOS universal, and Linux x86_64. The export paths point at a builds directory on the author’s machine. A preset means Godot could export those platforms. It does not mean those exports were uploaded. I will not describe this game as “available on Mac” because a config key exists.
What one player tried
| Approach | What was said | Status |
|---|---|---|
| CrossOver | Mostly runs; may crash on clear | 1 source, an itch comment |
| Whisky | Grouped with CrossOver in that comment | 1 source, an itch comment |
| Wine, no wrapper | Grouped with the same comment | 1 source, an itch comment |
| Native Linux build | No player report on the pages I read | Preset only |
If you want a native build, the useful move is a comment on itch.io or Game Jolt, where the author actually reads. Compatibility tools are someone else’s experiment. They can break on an update, and they are not support.

Questions
Is there a Mac download button?
No. itch.io’s platform line says Windows, and Game Jolt lists a Windows package.
Does the project contain a Mac preset?
Yes. export_presets.cfg has a macOS universal preset and a Linux x86_64 preset. Both point at a local builds folder. They are not files on the store.
Will Wine finish the game?
One itch comment says CrossOver, Whisky, and plain Wine mostly run it and may crash at the clear. That is one player, not a promise from the author.
