Ha ha - this is great fun.

One thing I find slightly annoying though is that my mouse arrow remains on when i'm playing the game.....is this normal?

If I've missed something and am been a thick git feel free to let me know

It's on the todo list and Mucky Guy has supplied the code

I'll get that in the next ver

Just doing some database malarky so only the top score will be on display for registered uses. It'll stop the massive yak domination now foisted on us

I have to finish it first

There's some work to do and only around 5 people have valid keys right now.

Should be on sale in the next week or so.

The web site will be a lot better and is looking like it will feature some nice graphs of your progression over time for registered players. Also looking to get yahoo messenger stuff in so it can tell you if you're bumped out of a table.

As long as the client is sending the correct data I can add those features in over time so it shouldn't affect the release of the full version.

Unfortunately not, cos you're not registered there's nothing to uniquely identify your games.

And there's got to be some sort of incentive to buy the full version which I think will probably be a fiver though I did notice all of those Puppy Games sell for Â£15

yeah i solved my disk image problem by running the installer from panther dvd 2, (dvd 1 wouldn't run as i had a newer osx installed).. just have an old safari now..

so let's play!

so, had a game or two...

1. is it just me, or just the mouse responsiveness just seems a bit different than in the pc version (although that could just be me, most of the games i played were on virtual pc, most of the others on my work laptop, in the train without a proper mouse)
2. the window still is big
3. eeeh, i can't really get into turbo nutter mode, (pressed a on the title screen) (i know i'm stupid, but hey, that makes me a good tester

)
4. what are you are going to do with people who already registered the game?
5. my mac picked wrong in the highscore table

6. shouldn't you make a register button in the main menu too?
7. Gravy, shouldn't you put yourself in the credits bit? and update the history bit a bit (the special london jolly mode, the macversion)
8. can you already register? i want more!
9. and as i said, i'm already asked to do a review for the largest dutch-speaking macgames website, macgames.be , so when ypou think it is final enough , i'll play it far more with an excuse...
10. can't you update the icon a bit, as it isn't zoomy as normal osx icons, i guess you just took the XP icon...

and generally lovely, i'm going to put it in my main dock (as oppose to my little king kong icon for dockextender)

just to see if it worked, i tested on a G3 imac DV. still plenty fast and smooth enough to run properly.

i reckon if youve bought a new mac in the last 5 years then you can play gridrunner.

and i wanted to use my se/30 as a full time gridrunner mini arcade

but charlie said it won't work

anyway, i just keep making little remarks to increase the perfectionism..

1. when changing your name, i can't get backwards (the left goatie), only forward
2. doesn't it remember your name, or is that just the registered version
3. you can select a resolution your monitor doesn't have
4. you can't go back to the main menu after you have pressed play
5. should you have a puase button or let it pause when you leave the screen?
6. simarly: isn't it possible to make a bit of protection for the mouse around the window, i have already clicked next it to activate the sheepy zapper, but came into another programme
7. maybe add a link to the way of the rodent history of llamasoft pages in the llamasoft section on the menu?

oh and i was going to sleep early, yak & gravy, you cunts
