It might be gone by the time you read this, but Schizoid is prominently featured as the game to buy on Amazon's XBLA page: http://www.amazon.com/b/?node=979417011.
In other news, my 9 year old nephew is visiting and he freakin' loves it. In fact, watching him play and seeing how he clearly is having a great time -- and how he can't wait to play again when we make him turn it off -- is some of the best praise I've ever gotten.
In still other news, Skaff plays with his 3-year old son and they're up to level thirty-something. We need to get youtube up of that or something...
Congrats! The notion of buying an XBLA game on Amazon seemed strange until I realized it may actually bring a new market into the fold with real dollar pricing, no spill over points, and one-click purchasing accounts. For some reason, Puzzle Quest is 15 on Amazon and 800 points on Xbox marketplace. I wonder if there is an intentional pricing difference or if this is an error.

It also makes gifting possible, which is very cool. If 75% of videogame sales are for Christmas (source Jesse Schell), what % of videogame sales are gifts?

Congrats on schizoid man! I like the game and not to sound cheesy the particle effects :)
I created a game similar to that called Gum Drop, I dunno if you heard about it, but you should check it out :) I just felt a bond between shooter devs hehe
