WARNING

The Mac build is a little weird... When you load it up it'll give you a blank screen. When this happens you'll have to minimise the window, then maximise it again. Hopefully the graphics will now be visible. It might be really laggy... We're very sorry if this is the case. If it's too laggy you can hit esc.
