Mac Monday: Aquaria


Bit Blot's Aquaria is a breath of fresh air ... even if it's a breath taken through gills. It's a gorgeously-drawn 2D adventure that feels disarmingly old-school in these days of 3D over-the-top action. This game feels fresh, from its identity-seeking hybrid protagonist to its slew of nimble and colorful adversaries. Although it's dual-platform, Aquaria could not have arrived at a better time for Mac gamers who might have been giving up hope for unique new titles. Of course, it's being published by none other than Ambrosia Software, a Mac mainstay for many years, so it's in good hands.

So, exactly what is Aquaria, and why should you love it?
