I downloaded the Mac App Store a couple days ago and bought Trine--a clever, physics puzzle adventure with an RPG-twist. You play a thief, a wizard and a knight--the game allows you to switch between each as the situation warrants. Each has different ways it can get around and affect the game world (moving blocks, swinging from ropes, bashing things, conjuring blocks, etc.)
The game combines Diablo-style hack-and-slash with a little bit of loot-gathering fun and a lot of neat puzzlers ("How do I get up there?").
Great polish, fun sound effects. It's also available on Steam. I'm not sure which gives the developer a better cut, but they certainly earned 70% of my $19.99. Hats off to the folks at Frozenbyte.
