Schizoid video is kind of puzzling
It's a puzzle, really. We were all ready to dismiss it as just another multi-directional shooter until we noticed that there's no actual shooting. It appears that red and blue Spider-Man chest emblems are trying to destroy similarly-colored lobsters by tackling them to death. Ah well, thank goodness for demos.

It looks like the creatures can only be destroyed by the like color creature but chase the other colored creature. It looks interesting...

Is it really that hard to figure out? Left thumbstick controls one color (let's say red), right thumbstick controls the other (let's say blue). Your red...thing can eat other red things, but is destroyed by blue. And vice versa.

Aww hell yes this looks badass. Co-op lobster-tackling here I come.

To the relatively untrained eye, it looks slightly like Flow (or 'fl0w' or whatever)

the red can only kill red but can be killed by blue.
the blue can only kill blue but can be killed by red.
looks good.

What like Ikaruga white and black/red?
Truepatriot @ Aug 13th 2007 4:01PM
yup except i dont know how this game is controlled.it could be like The Adventures of Cookie & Cream or 2 players each controlling one.
Robotheart @ Aug 13th 2007 4:01PM
how is this in the least bit confusing? right stick controls one crabbo-thingo the left stick controls the other, you can only kill enemies by bashing the same colored units with your ship, kill all enimes to clear level.
duh.
Grant @ Aug 13th 2007 4:04PM
that makes sense.
but at the same time i think that trying to control those two things in different manners at the same time would probably make my brain hurt a fair amount.
looks a bit like patty your head while rubbing your stomach.

@Grant
hence the name schizoid
your moment of clarity is now.

If it's dual analog I have no hope to survive and must make my time.
