Great to see this game ported to OS X. I spent many hours playing this on Amiga and this port faithfully reproduces the look and feel. The difficulty is fixed on the hardest level though and it's just about impossible to beat the CPU. Can we please have difficulty options?
As for this port itself, it performs well. The graphics are rather pixelated, there are no preferences (the menu option is grayed out), and launching the game tosses you straight into the first 'battle'. Searching through the menu options does not temporarily pause the game either.
The left and right arrow keys move your piece. The , and . keys rotate it. The down arrow key throws it down faster. The space bar and return keys pause the game.
If the default rotate keys could either be moved to the z and x keys for those that play the game with two hands on the keyboard (or put in an interface that allows us to change it and remembers that), that would be great. The hands can get mighty cramped otherwise.
