Terminal programs still need compiling for a specific OS, right?

I'm guessing that the developer doesn't own a Mac. Reading the notes for their Linux support makes me think they don't have a Linux machine either but have given it a go anyway. Are you even able to build Mac binaries on other OSs?

Go can build all the binaries.

Does this game have anything to do with Go? The page says it's made in Python. But hey, if you really want to look a gift horse in the mouth you can comment on the game's page with feature requests.

Looking a gift horse in the mouth is asking for compatibility? Laughing my fucking asshole off.
