Hi, so after getting the game to work I've run a couple odds and ends in regards to the MacOS port. I will say I understand the difficulties MacOS brings in general so I'm going into this not really expecting most of these to be fixed, but I'm going to report on them regardless.
Current system is MacOS 15.4 Sequoia (M3 Chip)
Since getting the game to finally run I've unfortunately run into a few odd issues that don't really harm the gameplay, but do make it a bit annoying. First issue is the general blurriness of the game. I think this is just a result of playing this game on a retina display, but all the UI, game graphics, even the top menu bar all appear a bit blurry.
The other is the frame performance. Generally speaking the game seems to run fine with V-Sync on, but every now and then the game will dip below 60 (which is strange for how "basic" this game should be) but if I try to uncap the frames, all the 3D graphics cause a severe amount of screen tear (which I know is a usual effect of disabling this, but for this game the tearing is so bad that it looks like the graphics are actually corrupting/glitching).
Again I don't know if these things can actually be fixed because I know how tricky Mac can be, but I figured it would be worth documenting anyway in the off chance.
Also unrelated question but, are there any cheat codes in the game that allow you to permanently unlock all the regular and bonus levels? (I don't intend on skipping the main game, but if there is a way I'd love to just have free reign on exploring all the levels available).
