App won't start, redirects to folder

I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling both itch and the app, and my computer seems unable to read the game file. Here is my application log, do you guys know what the issue is? 

It redirects me to the itch folder, so that I should select a file.

Depending on the project, the app may not be able to figure out how to launch it, so it will just open the folder. If you can share the actual project I can take a look.

The project name is Collisus, if that helps

Sorry I am doing so many separate comments, but I am remembering things I should say in between them. I have been able to play this game in the past, and yesterday I was trying to update the game. It would say that it was updated, but still be the same game, so eventually I tried to manually uninstall the game (I did not know at the time that you could just right click the game and select uninstall, I found out right after though) and I think that is where I broke it. I am not sure how it stays broken though, because I have uninstalled and reinstalled both itch and the game.

I was able to fix the issue. I extracted the 7z and it led to an application file, which I then was able to use to start the game.
