at least it's not called "Wolf Cream"...

applestar, can you email me your customer information to phillryu@gmail.com? I have a feeling it has to do with an accent in your name, which I can take care of for you.

Definitely won't make you queasy. This was the first game I bought (the original Airburst when I was in middle school) for a generous "pay what you can" price. (StrangeFlavour did it before Radiohead.)

If you can't try this out on a Mac, it's a breakout type game against other players, where you defend and attack each other's floating platforms, ringed with poppable bubbles. Add a bunch of powerups, character specific special moves, and tons of unlockables and game modes, and you have highly refined game crack. I would say this stands with Super Smash Brothers and Bomberman with its ridiculously awesome, non split screen multiplayer action.

Unfortunately it hasn't been updated for the newest Intel Macs, so for now I'm looking forward to some bubble popping on the Xbox.

Pop pop pop!

I want to clarify that my comment does not necessarily strike out SD from the sale, so for you SD fans, stay tuned...

We launched a few minutes late, but we are now live. Also, to note, we are including TaskPaper instead of Speed Download. Enjoy!

Hey, one of the Heist organizers here,

I just wanted to clarify that this event is actually very separate from MacHeist 2, which is scheduled for later this year.

Mike, if you'd like some invite codes to give out to TUAW readers, hit me up on AIM under phillryu, and I'd be happy to provide.

Looks like they got the hint and successfully toned down the box art to non-Delicious levels. "Too much sizzle, not enough steak." ;)

For those interested, a German translator for the game who had access to the full builds early has posted a preview on a HOMM community site:

The gist of it is that the demo is nothing at all like the final version, and according to him, this is the ultimate Heroes. Sweet :)

This is my first time posting here, and I really don't understand where he's coming from. I mean, "It's not a new game, and moreover it's not a DS game." Correct me if I'm wrong here, but isn't the game's content totally new? This isn't just Super Mario with fancier graphics, which he implies. It's a totally new Mario game, with nearly a hundred completely new levels, new gameplay mechanics, and it uses the DS for some enhanced graphics and a second screen with some useful functions (pick stored powerups, view where you are in the level, etc.) Sure, it doesn't particularly push many of the DS's innovative hardware functionality, but hell, neither did Mario Kart DS to a degree, which is in my opinion the best game out for DS so far. And I mean, OK, many of the environments are from the original Mario, which seems to be one of his main points, but what exactly does that mean? He would love this game if it was reskinned?

Or maybe he expected a 3D mario game or something? Leave 3D to a system that can do it well, mainly in terms of control. The Mario 64 port got a lot of points knocked off in most reviews for not so awesome control on the DS. I for one would rather have a really well done, spotless 2D side scrolling Mario platformer on my DS. Leave the next 3D Mario for Revolution. Can't wait till this game is out!
