Hey guys!

A number of years ago, I used to play this puzzle game, Candy Crisis, on our family's eMac. It was fun, and somehow it disappeared from my list of games on my PowerPC Macs, until I re-discovered it recently. I also found out that they recompiled it for Intel! However, I'm unable to open the App file on my MacBook Air, running High Sierra, so I was wondering if anyone else has any other hardware they could test this on for me, or suggestions why it might not work, or if anyone has found a version that does indeed start properly. :p

I did not have that issue running the most recent Intel version, but I rebuilt it. I think it was a signing issue. Try this one:

@128keaton: I'm still having the "there was a problem" error. I wonder why. :/

Thanks for trying to fix it for me though!

you probably have some security setting set that disallows unsigned apps from running
I don't see anything that would prevent me from doing that. The message did change, however.

The "Report..." option says this is the error:

"Dyld Error Message:
Library not loaded: /usr/local/opt/sdl2_image/lib/libSDL2_image-2.0.0.dylib
Referenced from: /private/var/folders/*/Candy Crisis.app/Contents/MacOS/Candy Crisis
Reason: image not found"
