That's right, ZONERS is now going to officially be releasing for Apple Mac devices too! As part of that process I've made the recent demo available for macOSX. For full information on getting it running see below.
So, "What about Linux?" I hear faintly echo from the void. Don't worry, I've not forgotten about it! Stay tuned for more information about that in the near future I reckon :)
PATCH NOTES Demo v0.08

Known macOSX Issues
- Game doesn't recognise true resolution of Retina display. This is a limitation of not owning a paid Apple dev account. If there is enough demand, I will pay for one.
- Manually scaling the window yourself will cause many visual glitches. If you accidentally do this, set the window size in the game options to undo you manual changes.
- 1 frame flicker when entering a some new rooms. Am aware of the cause, will need some time to work around it
GAMEPLAY - Character
- Using Bzzt's Super will now cause them to dash continuously in your chosen direction. Connecting with the ball will trigger old behaviour consistently (no longer extra zigzags), where as hitting a wall will cause a small recovery period
- Urnest Super is active at end point for longer now only travels back along path if it catches a ball or player
- Rhapsody Super now spawns multiple dizzy inducing vinyls & added placeholder destroy sound
- Rhapsody Hyper sound waves have less time between them and a new placeholder sound effect has been added for each one
Gameplay - General
- Sphere Smasher ball can no longer be lost outside of the arena
- Fixed crash where ball would look for non-existing object during Sphere Smasher
- Fixed the way the background is drawn on the Plazzma Penthouse stage so it displays correctly
Menus etc
- Added version number on titlescreen & demo indicator
- Improved windowed mode mouse dragging for Windows versions
- Fixed display of some background lights on CSS screen
- Added small tab indicator in the bottom left of Match Maker & CSS menus that shows player count & overall match setting type (E.g P1 Vs Cpu & standard match icon)
