Platypus MacOSX Beta

This is looking pretty nice! The graphics are playful and fun and colorful, I especailly like the multiple levels of parallax scrolling, and that everything is running very smoothly even with lots of things flying all over the place or bits of debris etc. I got to about stage 4 on my first try and a green star crashed me out, but otherwise it was fun. It's a good shooter! :-)

Here I'm on a 1GHz G4 iMac which has an NVidea GeForce4MX gfx card. It runs perfectly fine and smooth.

The only offputting thing, a bit, was the load times, where things are visually frozen except for the little speech bubble thing in the corner. It's not too bad, but it does seem a bit slow. Probably lots of gfx to load. Maybe the player could be reading something while stuff is loading?

Otherwise, great job!
