I wonder if it can be ever ported to the Mac? I'd love to be able to play it on
this, my Mac Mini, not just my Windows laptop.

Yes, this is a free game. It should work just fine, on your windows XP
machine. The object of the game is to build, and maintain an eco system.
Each mission gives you a series of quests, or goals, that could be anything
from accumulating a certain amount of money, to breeding a certain number of
some particular animal species. You could think of it as a puzzle game, a
strategy game, and a simulation game.

I have missed most of the backstory
on this; the game alone sounds like fun. Is it a free
game? Can I play it with Windows XP? What's the object? :)

Ok, I beat the second quest. (Hint, there is a
nicety of timing when to
introduce your turtles) Now I'm on to the third,
which is proving equally
provoking and addictive, but there are still some
niggles.
Why can't I destroy rocks? Rocks do not have a
destroy option.
Why can't I destroy piranha? Yes, I tried out
the piranha and at one point
was low on power but wanted to rid myself of a few of
the pesky things, but,
while destroy is presented as an option for the p
command, hitting
shift-delete doesn't destroy one.
On the subject of piranha, I think these boys may be a
little unbalanced.
In my current game, I have 1,295 of the bloody
things. Their die-off rate
seems a bit low and they're not reacting to available
food supply (or lack
thereof) as expected. I have no fish and no
aquatic bugs left, only a
couple of turtles and some assorted land
critters. They aren't killing off
the land critters, so I don't know how they're
surviving the sterilized
waters they currently inhabit. Neat idea, but
you may want to rebalance
them. With both kaymans and turtles in the
water, I'd have expected the
population to stay a bit more in control.
And sadly, Jaws 12 doesn't work with the game, or at
least it doesn't on my
machine.
By the way, when you have 1300 piranha, the game slows
down to a crawl, then
freezes completely. I had to exit via the task
manager. As I've saved
along the way, I may now be screwed. I don't
know if this is a speech delay
thing, or I've just managed to choke my machine.
If it's the latter, then
about three more ticks would have killed anybody, as
I'd have 3,000 or more
piranha.
Ok, the amount of feedback I'm giving you now rivals
David Greenwood. Be
honored sir.
