Which is, really, not much yet.
Greg? Colin? You guys still alive up in Brooklyn?
How about adding that "Characters" section that's been "coming soon" for
about three months now? ;^>

Yes, but of course, we don't know anything. Or at least close to
it. Sadly, two screenshots does not let us judge the merits of Duality.
I hope it's good, but I have no evidence either way. Not that I
"deserve" any evidence, the boys at DoubleAught are not obligated to
tell us anything. I'd love to know more, but until I do, I don't really
factor Duality into game comparisons, not that I put much merit on those
anyways.

Hey... It's Greg *freaking* Kirkpatrick, the ubermensch of level design...
Duality *has* to be better. :)
