We asked some of the first ChainStaff players in the world what they thought about the demo at IGN Live. Here's what they had to say.

Ages ago, I bought a game called Weapon of Choice on the #Xbox Live Indie Games service, and loved it. Developer @MommysBestGames then released Explosionade and Serious Sam DDXXL which I also loved…now they’re working on Chainstaff! #summergamefest https://t.co/4IuNva3til

Transfixed by the ChainStaff.

Today's your last chance to be one of the first ones to play ChainStaff! Developer @MommysBestGames is here at #IGNLive so come on over and say hi.

Inspired by rock album covers of the 70s and 80s, the hand-painted levels of ChainStaff are steeped in sci-fi surrealism.

In ChainStaff, you fight with human tech and alien tech. But the alien tech requires some... sacrifice. Do you save your comrades or do you harvest them to enhance your powerful new alien weapon? https://t.co/SGfnhZOxUd
