A downloadable game for macOS

Original Description:

In Glow Bugs™, you play a ladybug who glides through the night, navigating around obstacles while avoiding other nasty insects.

Collect aphids along your journey to power-up or transform your bug's look (aphids are delicious little bug snacks).

We love Glow Bugs so much, that we were inspired to write a poem about the game. Here goes...

Lady glow bug sets out at night,Munching every tasty aphid in sight.Other glow bugs can cause quite a scare,Strong wings help her soar through the air.Hidden treats increase her powers,An exciting game amongst the grass & flowers.

If poetry isn't your thing, just picture those same lines laid down to a fierce hip hop track. Shakespeare, Keats, Kipling, Tupac, ODB, Easy E and Biggie would all be writing dope rhymes about the Glow Bugs game if they were alive today. No doubt. The game is just that inspiring and fly. How do I love thee, Glow Bugs? Let me count the ways, yo:

Install instructions

Originally, if you wanted to play the app, you need to have a old iOS device that supports version 9.3.5 and download the ipa file here:https://drive.google.com/file/d/145eMLFB9UUJ_0xt1p-Y73dzuLT4e8KxU/view?usp=shari...

and go to a website called, "Install on air" and put the ipa file in and the app will download on to your device. 

However, what if someone coded this app and made it available on new apple devices or even online?

Is it possible that you could crack the application and then dump it? Trying to install but it asks for the apple id of whoever first downloaded the app.

I'm sorry I'm not sure how to do that, what you can try is to use a program called "Sideloady" to put your Apple ID in instead of the original one but I don't have a lot of time doing that... hope you understand..

Hello. I am pleased that we share a common interest in glow bugs. Speaking of which, I am currently working in Unity (game engine) to create glow bugs. I am trying to make it as close to the original and was hoping if you get any assets that would help me make it (sprites, images, sound effects, etc.) please feel free to share them with me! I will share the game with the public once I am done. 

By the way, I am going to credit you for the music rip / recordings. Those are already helping amazingly. 

Here you go: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/14pVokBLrsxJdimAUFaOiGx7SpVX-jyb8 I extracted all the stuff from the original ipa, which includes the original music and all that stuff

Awesome! The game is looking perfect so far!

Hey there, are you still working on the app?

Hey hey! Still in development. Coming along well! (Mintvbz btw)
