I played the game on mac. Unfortunatly I can't close the first tooltip about the controls. I like what I've seen so far in the game :)

Thank you kapstok, Well, since my Mac Pro passed out a few months ago I cant test the game on that OS, but I will note that issue, try playing the game fullscreen, maybe that will solve it.

Thanks again and hope to see you around!
