John Champlin from Ambrosia let me know that Aquaria, the hand-drawn underwater side scroller from Bit Blot, has reached Final Candidate for Mac.
Aquaria has been in development for the Mac for quite some time and although I’d liked to have seen the release a bit sooner, it’s a testament to Ambrosia that they wouldn’t let me see it before every bug and wrinkle had been ironed out. Bit Blot, the original developers of the game for PC, also made some changes for the Mac version - namely making artwork fit onto the widescreen monitors that most Mac users have.
I’ve been squeezing in swimming in the wonderfully pretty waters of Aquaria when I can, but alas my game playing is limited as I’ve just started a Computer Science degree. It’s bits, arrays and databases when I’d love it to be underwater caverns, eels and magic…
Expect a review from me and a release date from Ambrosia, soon.
