+
+## Windows
+
+1. Download the zip file for Windows: `micromissiles-${{ github.ref }}-windows_x86_64.zip`.
+2. Unzip the zip file. The zip file should contain a single directory called `micromissiles-${{ github.ref }}-windows_x86_64`.
+3. Run `micromissiles-<version>-StandaloneWindows64.exe`.
+
+## Mac
+
+1. Download the zip file for Darwin: `micromissiles-${{ github.ref }}-darwin.zip`.

-# Getting started **developing** micromissiles-unity 
+# Quick Start
+
+We generate pre-built standalone binaries for Windows and Mac users from the `release` branch. These binaries are intended for non-development users who just want to run the application and modify a few configurations along the way.
