Gamertell has posted a rather positive review of Ambrosia Software's Mac game, Aquaria.
From the review:
"It's a funny thing about being a Mac-owning gamer - it's so rare that anything genuinely interesting comes to the platform that it's almost a shock when a title with as much polish and ingenuity as Aquaria shows up. The 2007 winner of the Independent Games Festival's highest honor, the game arrived on the PC early in the year, and it's just recently dipped into the Mac's open waters. The most important thing I could possibly say from a consumer point of view is this - if you have any interest in games that feature exploration and adventure - grab this one up right now. I mean it - download the game, load it up, and let the undersea aesthetic take you far, far away."

Seriously, the most difficult thing about writing this was trying to make that first bit scan with the Jackson 5 hit ABC, and that didn’t work. Regardless, let’s crack on!

Back in 2007, Aquaria was a flagship title for the nascent indie boom. It was the commercial debut of Derek Yu, who had previously worked on the freeware hit Eternal Daughter, which helped it generate buzz without the need for a marketing budget. It was everything big-budget games were not at the time; subtle, atmospheric, and old-school without being nostalgic. Now, six years later, it’s made its way to our Android phones in the latest Humble Bundle, and it’s a perfect excuse to relive the adventure once again
Ambrosia are f***ing KINGS of software. I sunk more hours of my life into the DEMO, THE FREAKING DEMO of Escape Velocity than i could ever count.
