You have downloaded the 32bit version, Apple dropped support for 32bit apps from Catalina onwards. Download the 64bit build, which I have running on my Macbook Air 2012 with Catalina. Perhaps it only became available in the last few hours :)
You'll get a popup on running saying that the app can't run because it can't be verified. It can, just open security in system preferences and hit open anyway. Only do this when you trust the source of the executable, obviously.
thank you for this!! yes, the 64-bit build should be Catalina friendly — just right click and select “open” from that menu and you should be good to go!
My daughter (8 years old) has played this pretty much all of today! We both absolutely love it! I'm assuming the dogs in it are based on real people's dogs?
She's convinced it would be ideal on the Nintendo Switch.
that's so so lovely to hear!! thank you both so much for playing. and yes, all of those digital dogs are based on very good IRL pups, each a perfect creature!
hey, id like to know what game engine you used. if gamemaker studio, how did you make each letter one by one move in circles? if its a shader, can i please know what its called if its by someone else
This was a wonderful concept with a cute design. The graphics were simple and the gameplay was straight to the point. The only flaw was that I could not find out how to full screen but even then it's not that big of a deal. Very fun game haha
I downloaded this game when jackaboy played it and I went to my mom's friends son's house He and his mom absolutely loooooooooooved it!!!!!(especially since ha had a crap pc) thank you so much for this fun and awesome adventure I hope you make more good games like this!
The most eminent game of our time, Pet the Pup at the Party truly explores what it means to be in our current time. It is the defining piece of a generation, that is, it is Love in the Time of Now. Its discussion of the human condition will be referenced in the vast halls of academia for millenia to come. I am so grateful for having the opportunity to immerse myself in such a masterpiece.
I CANT EVEN PLAY IT!!!!! Paypal isn't working, the file isn't working, and when I save it to collection I can't even play it. I'M SUPER MAD RIGHT NOW!!!!!!
i love this game!! it's so fun and i love petting all the little dogs!! I'm only a kid right now so I can't donate but honestly i'm gonna remind myself to donate when i'm old enough!
Pet the Pup at the Party is a fun little game. It's challenging, colourful, and just overall fun to play.
The gameplay becomes almost addictive after awhile. Just has enought of what's make the game fun to keep playing and making you wanna beat your own record.
The puppies design are so crazy cute. Just wanna pet them.
My wife and I played the game together. She never used keyboard and mouse to move around in 3D space and learned it quick with this game. Very fun and challenging game that I would recommend for any one looking for a quirky quick game.

Howdy! I'm running this on macOS Catalina (version 10.15.5) and it says the app needs to be updated by the developer to work with my version.

Are there plans to rebuild the Mac version for newer machines that no longer support 32-bit applications?
yes, absolutely! working on this!
alright, just added the 64-bit build above! let me know if you have any trouble downloading it!
Yay, it works! (Gives me the standard warning about how you didn't buy an Apple dev cert, but whatever, nobody cares about that.)
oh no, I’m so sorry! can you tell me a bit more about the machine + os you’re running on?
so sorry for the trouble! happy to offer a refund via paypal and gonna try to dig into this
