Schizoid is a 2 player game with the red player tagging red bad guys and blue tagging blue.

I've only seen 2 player demos -- I would think 4 player would get more interesting.

Also, the uniform player movement and bad guy behavior looks like it gets boring fast.

"Bad guy" behaviour isn't uniform, fortunately. There are a bunch of different bad guys and it gets quite a bit more complicated quickly. They described it as a puzzle game with action components rather than an action game.

Cool!

The short demos are not doing them much of a favor if that's the case.

I've seen it played live and I guess people never got far enough to uncover how the game evolves.

Audiosurf is an incredible game. We sell it on Steam for PC.

It looked fun. Paul said it got him motion sick tho'.
