System requirements

The first start

The game starts fullscreen; F11 or Alt+Enter switches to a window. On the language menu, Up and Down pick a language and Return starts. Then: how to play.

The programs aren't signed with a paid certificate, so your system is wary of them the first time: here's what to do.

If your system won't open the game

This is a free fan-game remake, so it isn't signed with a paid developer certificate. Your system will warn you about it the first time you open it. That's expected: you only need to allow it once, and after that it opens normally. If you got the file from somewhere other than this page, check its SHA-256 (in its row above) before allowing it.

Windows: "Windows protected your PC"

  1. Unzip the download first (right-click the zip → Extract All...), then open dizzy.exe from the folder.
  2. If a blue Windows protected your PC window appears, click More info, then Run anyway.
  3. If Run anyway isn't there, or the game is blocked straight away: right-click the zip → Properties, tick Unblock at the bottom, click OK, and extract it again.
  4. If your antivirus holds the file back, restore it from its quarantine and allow it there.

macOS: "Apple could not verify..."

  1. Unzip the download and move Fantastic Dizzy to your Applications folder (or anywhere you like).
  2. Open it. macOS says it can't verify that the app is free of malware: click Done (not Move to Trash).
  3. Open System Settings → Privacy & Security and scroll down to Security. Next to "Fantastic Dizzy" was blocked, click Open Anyway, then enter your password and click Open Anyway once more.

Linux: nothing happens

  1. Extract the archive with tar -xzf FantasticDizzy-linux-x64.tar.gz (some file managers drop the permission that lets a program run).
  2. If dizzy still won't start, make it executable: chmod +x dizzy, or tick Allow executing file as program in its Properties.
  3. Run ./dizzy from a terminal in that folder: if something is missing, it says what.
