Feedback request: Alien Abduction Mac beta

[Red Marble Games]

Hi all -- At long last I have a beta of the Mac version of Pumpkin Games' Alien Abduction, and I'd appreciate those of you with Macs giving this a try, as I don't have a lot of different machines to try it on. I'm interested in comments from all, but most especially from those with pre-10.3.9 systems, since I don't have access to such a beast for testing.

As this is a port rather than a new entry, I doubt there will be many gameplay changes, but if you all could comment on how the game runs, etc., that would be great. Both joystick and keyboard should be supported.

I don't have a web page up for it yet, but it looks identical to the Windows version, so to meet the new screenshot requirement I'll just point you here:

Thanks in advance for taking a look.

See, this is stupid Xcode at work. How I miss CodeWarrior! Thanks for pointing this out. New version coming within 24 hours.

OK, I think I've solved that crash now ... any other Mac-o-philes who would like to give this a try would be welcome. Same link as before, but here it is again:

It ran fine for me on my 10.4.3 powerbook. Although the game quit when I pressed escape while playing.

Sorry I'm late Runs fine (as of the build you uploaded today) on a Mac Mini running Tiger.

What was your issue with xcode/ how did you fix it? I'm sort of scared that xcode is going to do something weird and my games won't run on some Macs due to an obscure reason.

Best regards,
Emmanuel
