It's nice to see a few new platform games for the Mac, and while I like this game for the variety it adds it certainly isn't one of the best games released by Ambrosia. The only reason I would recommend this game in it's current state is if you really enjoy games in this genre.
Some of the problems are that the in game graphics are blurry and the GUI is clunky. The style of the art often makes it hard to discern between which objects you can interact with. There are lacking controls for sound (you have to change the entire system volume instead of independantly controlling the sound for this game). For some reason the 32 page manual is in a square format instead of something normal like 8.5"x11" and all the screen shots are very blurry.
