Product Description:

As far as I know the very first computer game that reacts to how the machine is tilted. The 2005 Powerbooks have a chip on the logic board that is there to signal if the computer is dropped. Thanks to Amit Singh (kernelthread.com) this chip's values can be read and utilized for your amuzement. The gameplay is simple, control the balls by leaning the computer and get to the clouds before they disappear.

It seems to work okay, but the demo only lets you play for about 5 seconds, which makes it a waste of bandwidth to download.

This might "work" on Intel macs, but it's still a PowerPC binary. My machine gets really hot playing it, which isn't a good thing when you have to hold your laptop to play.
