Looks neat, but adding a "Z" to the end of the title isn't going to do them any favors.

Looks like it would be pretty boring as a co-op title and pretty confusing as a single-player game. I'd need some in-depth impressions to determine how it plays.

That description makes me think Dr. Mario Galaxy.

Seems more like Schizoid (XBLA coop game where you move a space ship around that can destroy enemies of its own color by touching them and each player has a different color).

Funny enough the PR rep for this game emailed me today about us providing some coverage. We should have some more assets going up for you guys soon.
He also said he'd look into getting me a review copy when the game launches, so hopefully we'll get some review coverage for you guys too.

The tagline was, "do you really know your colours?" Then they "fused" green and red together to make yellow.
Other than that the gameplay looks cool, but the art style is horrid.

That color mixing made me do a double take for a minute until I Googled it and got this answer:
Quote from: AnswerBag.com written by 'Anonymous'
There are two kinds of color mixing — additive color mixing and subtractive color mixing.
In additive color mixing, the primary colors are red, green, and blue. If you look closely at the screen of a color CRT monitor, with a magnifying glass, you'll see that the image consists of these three colors.
Equal amounts of red and green do indeed make yellow, in additive color mixing. If you closely examine a yellow part of an image on a color CRT, as described above, you'll see that the red and green are lit up brightly, and the blue is very dim, if it's lit up at all.
Subtractive color mixing is what happens when you mix paints or inks. The primary colors in subtractive mixing are cyan (a light greenish blue), magenta, and yellow.

To any programmer RGB(A) is the natural color space because that's the format data gets stored in for computer usage. If you ask a programmer what you get when you mix red and green the answer is most likely yellow. A print worker would likely think in CMYK instead.

This isn't a game aimed at programmers, it's a game aimed at kids. If you ask a kid what colour you will get by adding green and red, their answer won't be yellow.
