This game seems really cool! Just letting you, though, it doesn't seem to work on MAC.

It’s not my game. Plus its not criticism that’s just being rude, Criticism is telling the problem and saying how you could improve it not just an insult.
LOL imagine getting mad over a online argument YOU ARE THE LOSER you say I yap but look at your comments look at what you just commented and think again. LOL this is hilarious, I was just trying to be respectful to the creator but YOU don’t know what respect even is.
