abuse (the game)

The talk of abuse started in a list of good games thread, but since it isn't for discussion as much as for listing good games I'm starting this thread for those who tried the game and would like to comment or maybe exchange the details on how far they've gotten in it etc.
I've tried it and it kind of reminds me of Quake, only in 2D. There is a kind of nostalgy feeling with these old low-graphics games like this. It has the old feeling lost in the new 3D games I guess, but it'd be hard and probably pointless to explain that feeling. 
Anyway, it is a bit tough to play, but could be a nice challenge on weekends when I'm bored out of Battle for Wesnoth. 
I've just seen some shots so far, but it looks to me like some good old Turrican-style game. Turrican always was a lot of fun, so I guess Abuse could be worth a try. Will have a look into it.
By the way, do I need 3D-Accel for that? ATI's driver seems not to compile with GCC 4.1.
No need for 3D acceleration in abuse. It's actually an old-style 2D game. It's even slightly pixelated.
