Sorry, doesn't run on Lion yet, I've been reaching out to Lion users who can help me test, but no one has come forward. Please send me your e-mail and I'll send the latest version for you to test on Lion.

A quick workaround to run on Mac OS X Lion: it seems that the bundle has the LSRequireIPhoneOS property set to true. To be able to run the game (which runs without problems on Lion), you just have to set the above property to false.

Here is a quick guide on how to do this:

  1. locate your Mysterious Castle 1.8 application
  2. right click on it
  3. select "show package contents"
  4. navigate to contents
  5. right click on contents > info.plist
  6. select "open with" then "property list editor"
  7. in the Property List Editor, scroll to the bottom and uncheck "LSRequireIPhoneOS"
  8. save and exit
  9. run Mysterious Castle on Lion

Happy gaming :)

@@eclectocrat: I have sent you a mail about beta testing, let me know if you need assistance :)
