And I kept hitting ESC for some reflex reasons, which ends the game.

Yeah sorry about windows only. Glad to hear it runs on WINE though. AGK (which I made it in) can technically be ported to Mac but I'd need a Mac to be able to do so and I don't... And I think asking players to compile the game first is asking a bit much!! Anyhow point taken and next time round, I will make sure there is a web based version. I've added a new post-compo version that speeds up the movement for those of you who were frustrated by that."},{"author_name":"M\u00e5rten Jonsson","author_uid":"10688","time":"Apr 26, 2012 @ 12:36pm","epoch":1335443460,"text":"Really interesting take on the theme."},{"author_name":"demonpants","author_uid":"531","time":"Apr 27, 2012 @ 9:55pm","epoch":1335563400,"text":"Any chance of a Mac version of this?"},{"author_name":"Lucas Tiridath","author_uid":"5505","time":"Apr 28, 2012 @ 3:08pm","epoch":1335625380,"text":"Sorry but probably not realistically.
