"in talks with someone"
Im guessing this means Ambrosia, who are well known for their ports of shareware titles.
Hopefully they can get this one out the door quickly, cos Id quite like to play this.

Here's a review. Basically, it's a jump and run with time manipulation based puzzles.

The game is really difficult. Some of the puzzles have me completely baffled. The problem with this type of game is there isn't any hint system so once you hit the point of frustration, you just watch someone beat it on Youtube. And that defeats the purpose of the game.

The art & music make up for it though :).

The first time you experience time in direct relation to your position on an x-axis... that's a bit crazy.

I played the demo on the 360 a while ago, and it's very obviously a good game. Just not my thing.

I loved it too, but it was too short for my comfort. I'd love to see it come to the Mac though. It's a simple 2D game so it shouldn't put up much technical challenge.

Well, that is great to know, even if the game does not run on the PPC, as I assume it will not. :)

It already runs on PPC (Xbox360). As for PPC Macs, it seems to require a fairly high-end graphics card, so maybe not.
