Oil Rush

So I just found out about this game today. Look's pretty cool. But honestly, the main reason I'm interested in it is that it's available on Windows, Mac, PS3, and Linux (woot!).

Oil Rush is a real-time naval strategy game based on group control. It combines the strategic challenge of a classical RTS with the sheer fun of Tower Defence.
Fight the naval war between furious armies across the boundless waters of the post-apocalyptic world. Pump the ever-so-precious black gold by oil rigs, capture platforms and destroy the enemy in the sea and in the air.
Be ingenious to unlock super technologies and quick to send your squads straight into the heat of the battle!

On a side note, I feel that Linux users (who are interested in gaming, and gaming on Linux) should definitely pick this one up. Even if it's just a mediocre experience. It's great to see developers putting time and money into creating native Linux ports for games, and we should show them that there is indeed a market for it as well. I will be picking this up in the next day or two and showing my support.

Now all that said, has anyone here actually played it yet? I guess people who pre-ordered get access to early builds. It does certainly look interesting (given my interest is mainly peaked because of all the systems it will be on, specifically Linux), and I've been getting into RTS' more lately.

So what do you all think? Anyone else have any plans to pick this up?
