A pretty and relaxing way to squander your finite time

This game is a great way to relax, kill time, or temporarily relegate the more important things in your life to the backburner. Playing through the game in its entirety will take at least a few hours, but the replay value will give you at least dozens of hours thereafter. The campaigns make you feel particularly clever, once you get the hang of them.

It is also a game that looks great, especially on retina screens. (On my MacBook Pro you just need to change the video settings in the game to be 16:10 aspect ratio, then you can change the resolution all the way up to 2880 * 1800).

Also note the keystroke—cmd+m—to automatically pause and minimize the game so that you can jump to another application without having to close down your game; (sadly, the music keeps playing when you minimize the game).

My only beef with it is that it cant play in a windowed-mode. There are the seldom-occuring glitches and programming errors that might catch you off-guard here and there, but Ive never run into any that are more than trivial.
