Rogue Amoeba is a very well regarded Mac developer specializing in audio software. They have some very popular commercial software to their name, like Audio Hijack Pro, Fission and AirFoil. But you may not be aware that they also offer some pretty nifty freebies.

LineIn is a utility that will enable the soft playthru of audio from input devices. This is a feature that existed in Mac OS 9, but is not present in OS X. This means that you can plug an external audio device into your Mac's sound input, and pass through the signal to play through your Mac's audio output port. Since Rogue Amoeba's Audio Hijack application can record anything that is being played on the output port, this utility can be used to pipe external audio sources right into Audio Hijack.

That is, until I tried the game.
The mechanics of the game are very simple. You are a small red square, ...
