Cant get Spore to run on mac

[DrPenguan]

When I click "play" 2 spore icons appear on the hotbar then 1 goes away and a screen that has a white background with little creatures and a blue spore logo appears and then the game just closes can anyone help me out?

Press Command-Q, if Spore is unresponsive
Did you try to change the backbuffer?!
