I am trying to launch the game "Bad Bot Rises" and it immediately crashes. Here is my log below:

Although that's a message generated by the itch sandbox, the reason is that the game is shipping an installer type that isn't supported by the app.

When the app sees a single .exe file it:

  • Tries to detect known installer types: if it detects those, it runs the install process silently so the game is installed to the chosen install location
  • If no known installer type is detected, it assumes the .exe itself is the game, and copies is to the install location

In this case, the latter happened, but it looks like it is an installer, not just the game.

I recommend asking the developer for a portable build of the game, you can direct them to https://itch.io/docs/itch/integrating/platforms/windows.html !

I'm not able to find that game again, so I'll close this.
