STANDALONE INSTALLATION

Install the standalone game

  1. Do not download from an aggregator or mirror. Use the checked creator/source route below to locate current creator-owned instructions.
  2. Start it on the verified platform (Windows, macOS 10.12 or later, Linux. Android only through an unofficial, unsupported JoiPlay version.)—no base ROM or patch is required.
  3. Download the version for your system, extract it and run Game.exe. The developer supplies three editions: Glass for Windows, Fruit for macOS and Penguin for Linux. You can delete the old folders once the new version runs.
  4. Keep your save and the previous working version backed up before updating.

We never host ROM files, BIOS files, prepatched games, mirrors or unofficial download bundles.
