Quite excited by this - been keeping an eye on the Frozen Synapse webpage for a while, and this seems a definite step forward.

And can't believe I'm the first (non-staff) person to post on the board !

It is a great game.  I've been in on the pre-release beta and can say it is wickedly fun gameplay with a great cyberpunk vibe. You can check out a preview I wrote here.

The YouTube video grabbed my interest straight away.

The music is very cool as well. [:)]

Have to admit my thoughts were running on the same lines. 'Cheap' is no reflection on quality in this context but the going rate for this sort of thing these days if released on Steam or GG is £15 VAT inclusive ($20-$25) tops. No way will that be the Matrix price.

EDIT, belay that.. seems the direct price is $20 (£15 inc), so I assume the Matrix price won't exceed that. Looks fun.

I just had a good game with a surprise ending. In the following vid I am green and definitely get a superior starting position. However, after zapping his MG, he managed to equalize by first taking down my MG and then my grenadier (I knew he was lost, so I launched a grenade in the hopes of getting my assailant post-death [:'(]). This must have annoyed my shotgunner, though, as he went rambo and took down both of my opponent's remaining men in a killing frenzy: [:D]

There is indeed a Mac version, but we are still finishing our QA on that before releasing it.
