Yes, the game isn't very deep right now. It was originally a tech demo, done with NVidia for GDC (meant to be played for 60 seconds in their booth). We've done a few other multiple player games, and we wanted to get this one to that point, but the students graduated. Darn them.

I personally feel that multi-player games (face to face) are the thing AR will be really good at, since you are (more or less, depending on the technology) looking at the world and each other, not the screen.

Not sure about the Maemo 5 ... but, most next gen chipsets (Tegra, OMAP3, SnapDragon, Atom) can do this sort of thing if you tried.
