Need I say more? Wal-Mart! 1700 stores!
And a four star review from InsideMacGames to boot!
Downloadable Mac version should be out VERY soon, we have our release candidate in test as we speak.

By the way, sorry to keep shouting from the mountaintops about the success we've enjoyed -- it's hard to hold it in... :)

Whenever I go to Wal-Mart I look for this game and I'm always dissapointed I haven't found it there yet. Congrats man. If Wal-Mart carries it, it'll make money.-Ajari-

@Andrew and Steven - You guys realize I'm just an average jack*ss right? Ask the Tubetwist guys, they'll corraborate that statement. At least the jack*ss part. :) (I guess now you can say I've responded to you twice...)

@Aun - I've written up a fair amount here on my blog or over on Qatfish (www.qatfish.com, click on Qatfish original content). I've also done a number of interviews where I talk about marketing, and a little while ago I wrote a marketing article for Gamasutra. All that stuff is out there!@Andrew and Steven - You guys realize I'm just an average jack*ss right? Ask the Tubetwist guys, they'll corraborate that statement.
