Version 0.5.0 - Quality-Of-Life Options

• New OPTIONS > QUALITY-OF-LIFE screen with changes to the original game, all off by default and saved with SAVE AND APPLY (--qol turns them on for one run).
• Roll camera earlier: the camera follows the player sooner, so more of the street is ahead.
• Friend grab keeps weapon: a friend who grabs you no longer makes you drop your weapon.
• Enemy damage circles: a ring over a damaged enemy, coloured by kind of enemy, with a disc that grows with the damage and fills the ring at death.
• The Builder can now build for the PS5 as well as for the computer it runs on, and deliver the result to the console.

Run Instructions

The apps are not signed, so your system will warn you the first time. It is safe to continue.

macOS

You'll need to remove the quarantine attribute so Gatekeeper allows execution, use Xattr-remove by perez987 or the command line:

xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine "/Applications/Streets of Rage Builder.app"

Open the .dmg, drag Streets of Rage Builder to Applications, run the command above, then open the app.

Windows

1. Download StreetsOfRageBuilder-0.5.0-windows-x64.exe (or -windows-arm64.exe on ARM PCs such as Snapdragon).
2. Chrome and Edge may say the file "isn't commonly downloaded" or "could be dangerous". In the downloads list, open the ⋯ menu next to the file and choose Keep, then Keep anyway (in Edge: Keep > Show more > Keep anyway).
3. Double-click the file. If Windows SmartScreen shows "Windows protected your PC", click More info, then Run anyway.

Linux

Download the AppImage for your CPU (x86_64 or aarch64), then make it executable and run it:

chmod +x StreetsOfRageBuilder-0.5.0-x86_64.AppImage
./StreetsOfRageBuilder-0.5.0-x86_64.AppImage

Or right-click the file, open Properties > Permissions and tick Allow executing file as program, then double-click it. If it fails with a FUSE error, install libfuse2 (sudo apt install libfuse2; on Ubuntu 24.04 libfuse2t64) or run it with --appimage-extract-and-run.
