Two things might have gone wrong:
To remove the quarantine, type "xattr -d com.apple.quarantine " and drag the app again into the window. Hit enter. Quarantine should now be removed.
To check the second case, you need to look into the contents of the app: right click on TheTwist049MAC app, pick Show package contents. Navigate to /Contents/MacOS/. Inside that folder you'll see a file TheTwist049MAC. That file should be a Unix executable. If it's anything else, it has lost its execute permission.
To fix this, start Terminal and type "chmod a+x " without the quotes at the prompt and drag the file inside the Terminal window. Terminal will fill out the path for you. Again mind there is a space between the command and the path. Hit enter. The file should now be executable.
As a general precaution, make a duplicate of the app first before changing its attributes or permissions.
Two things might have gone wrong:
- the app is quarantined by Gatekeeper because it's from an unknown developer;
- the executable inside the app might have lost its execute permission during unzipping

Man that is some hoops to jump through. Almost easier to use an android version.This worked beautifully, and seems like it'll also help with problems I've had with other games. Thank you.
