Downloaded it just now and I'm really loving it. The gameplay is very nice, and I'm addicted to this. Also that music is really well done! Am I going crazy, or does one of the songs use the melody of a jazz theme from Cowboy Bebop, sped up...?

I think you are going crazy, though I do like the Cowboy Bebop theme a lot so it's possible that I subconsciously recreated it Waaagh!

As for the mac version I realized a long time ago that it requires purchasing a license and generally jumping through hoops (for game maker anyway). Paired with my general distaste for Apple products, I don't think it's gonna happen. Some time in the distant future I will put a Gum II into the works, likely in a cross-platform engine. It's definitely going to happen, even if it takes a thousand years and someone's ripped off the core mechanic by then.

Ah, I wasn't referring to Cowboy Bebop's main theme, I was referring to the song from the soundtrack called "Rush". One of the themes of your game actually has a similar sounding riff that a sax plays throughout that song. The song in your game I'm referring to first plays in the World 2 stage, "Mercedez-Benz v.Kovacevic", the part when the song speeds up in particular.
It's nothing significant, I just wanted to explain!

Other than that though, I completed every stage recently and I loved it! Really challenging puzzles, and I still love all the music, and the environments. I've never played a puzzle game quite like where my main thought process the whole time was "where's an edge that I can use to scrape this block off of my body?"

Oh no, you figured it out! Waaagh!

Yeah, I can hear the similarity now. Before you mentioned that it wasn't the title theme, I kept running through it in my head and trying to compare it to my other songs No No NO

Thanks for finishing it by the way! I don't think very many people have made it that far - a guy doing a let's play was having no small amount of trouble with it, and didn't go past the first video. The level design got a bit below my standards in places throughout the game (and the final song was terribly mixed), but I hope you had fun either way.

Fair enough! A lot of the puzzles past the halfway mark gave me trouble, hours of trying to figure them out. But I really had fun with them all! Loved it
