Just move all of the game assets - scripts, images, all of it - into the Contents/Resources/ directory inside of the .app bundle.

Also, although you didn't ask... Make sure to set the log level to 0 - Mac builds write console.log in the same location as main.cs. That's handy for development when main.cs is next to your .app, but it will cause problems for end users who copy your game to /Applications and aren't running it with admin rights, and main.cs is inside the .app bundle.

Oh! How could I forget - Aun Taraseina wrote an excellent article about preparing and submitting your game for the Mac App Store. Even if you're distributing elsewhere, it's well worth a read!
