Overall it looks pretty good.

[b:jezb7q9l]A few points however – esp considering its ported across.[/b:jezb7q9l]

There needs to be an option to save the game on exit like the iPhone/iPad apps do, and then the option to resume or start a new level.

When on a computer is it possible to zoom in – and then move with the mouse cursor if you go to the edge of the screen – building in more computer centric controls in addition to the controls ported across

It doesn’t seem to handle tap to click as well – for instance after tapping to select a tower, I have to double tap to upgrade.
The gestures that work on the multi touch screen of the iPhone/iPad.

Not sure if the Feint/Game Centre frameworks have been updated to work on 10.6.6 – but there doesn’t appear to be any high scores, leaderboards, achievements etc that you would expect on the iPhone Apps.

Last option – and probably the hardest to achieve I guess – would be to consider sync’ing/backing up profiles across multiple devices. For instance I have all 3 sentinels on the iPhone, 3 and Space station on the iPad and now 3 on the computer.
