Well, i decided to try and put my particle engine to good use (remember: "try"), so i made a game.
If you've got a few minutes to spare, check it out: (it's barely an alpha version)...

Good start! The graphics are really neat. But it shouldn't need to be started by un-pausing.

yeah, i know... im just working on the core game right now (pretty much done, but it's open to suggestions)... im new to opengl so i haven't tried to make an opening screen with text and buttons and stuff.
i also need to figure out how to play sounds...
MINOR UPDATE:

If gzip gave you that good a compression ration on your DMG, you didn't put together your DMG correctly. Make it "read-only compressed", and it'll compress well enough that gzip won't matter much. Better yet, use the hdiutil command-line tool to convert it to UDZO format (requires 10.1.x or newer) and it'll compress so well that gzip won't compress it further at all. Then your users don't have to go through an extra step of post-processing the download before they can use it.
Sorry, personal pet peeve. Nice game though.

Although it means you have to have a server which has dmgs mapped to the correct MIME type, and many don't.
