Just thought I would mention that the pay wall bug has apparently been fixed. Finally got around to trying the game earlier this morning and checked on the price and was not automatically charged as others have been.
I thought the game looked and ran pretty good considering the hardware limits of the Ouya, that said its not really the sort of game that Im interested in, but puzzle fans should certainly give it a try.

I remember there being quite the controversial debacle around this game. I won't being touching the game because of the things I've heard, seen in videos, and have even discovered from past investigations. To each his own I suppose, so if you like it then more power to you.

I try to avoid criticism on this board, but I do want to say that I have two big problems with this game that are preventing me from buying, even though the game looks like it would be amazing otherwise.

I don't know if devs will see this, but maybe at some point I'll put this on the actual Tripwire forums.

1. I need to be able to pause. Even if it's just making the screen go dim or just saying "Pause" or whatever, I don't need any fancy menus or anything, but I do need the ability to pause. I get phone calls, or I need to go to the bathroom, or something like that, and I just need to be able to do that.

2. I need to be able to invert the y-axis on the right stick. I'm too used to that, and I've tried switching before (like the short time that I tried to play Silent Hill Homecoming). I just can't seem to get used to non-inverted y-axis.

Aside from these two things (and the "purchase" thing needs to be addressed, too), I think this game looks fantastic. If these two things are changed, I can't see myself not buying it, and I can't help but imagine that I'm not the only one thinking that. Programming-wise, I have no idea how hard it would be to do that, but I just think it would be awesome if it happened!

You're not the only one. I think I mentioned the lack of inverted y-axis earlier here. The lack of it made me insta-delete it as soon as I had "control" of the game.

There's no pause? I use invert as well

I noticed no pause or menu access once you start playing. Besides that it seemed good and ran well though I'm sure doesn't look nearly as good as pc version. I'm also guessing that is why the original killing floor was never planned to be brought over to Ouya since it would require too many downgrades. I'm usually not into puzzle games so not going to buy Ouya version but worth a look if you like action puzzle games. Still looks better than many Ouya games.

I just finished this game. I had a great time! Feels like the port could have been better, quite a bit of stuttering happening. Never played a fps puzzle game quite like it, it was a novel experience and felt fresh. I picked it up for 5$ on sale, totally worth it. I would have missed out if I hadn't finally given it a shot.
As a launch title I can see how it would have looked a bit unpolished and not tight.

Also the footage in the preview seems to come from a better port of the game, the graphics don't look like that exactly, also I never saw some parts of the game so maybe the content was cut?

Great game. I accidentally purchased it, ($10.00) still don't know how, but the further I got in to it, the less I regretted it and it became one of the more addicting games I wanted to finish.

Do you have a pin set for purchases in parental controls?

would be awesome if they made the game 720p, so it didnt lag and they could improve the graphics :/
