Laigter is distributed as a .AppImage file on Linux. The itch client doesn't know what to do with this:

I believe all it needs to do is download it, chmod +x it, and run it, which is what I did to get it working from the GitHub releases page manually.

External uploads are essentially deprecated for app support (since we can't track updates, verify integrity, scan for viruses, or even know if there's a file available at the URL). I recommend marking it as executable locally (or in CI) and then uploading it via our butler command line tool.

If you don't want to do that, if you zip it up it will preserve the executable flag.

Hope that helps

Thanks @leafo. It's not actually my project, but I'll pass it along. I'll close out this issue.
