Absolutely gorgeous game, but sooo frustrating and difficult! Dodging bullets is just waaay too hard imho.

Looks good, nice find. Will have to try this out "at work" ;)

"We liked Alien Hominid *so* much we even reproduced The Behemoths mistakes and made them an eensy bit worse"

*sigh me do*

Thats progress in action, that is.

Hmm, this was ok. Wasn't keen on the graphics style much, and it still don't compare to classic platform shooters of the past. Wasn't a fan of Alien Hominid either.

Anyways, was fun for a bit but soon deleted it.

Its odd because the GBA version of Alien Hominid *almost* got it spot on. The original was just a gnats hair away from being right but was so curiously unbalanced to be near unplayable once you'd gotten over how cool and stylish it was and most of the problems got fixed in the GBA version.

Metal Slug still stands as an ace template to build a game from (IMO, of course) but if you're going to steal from the best - surely you steal the best bits, which to me (wonderful graphics aside) is how finely honed the difficulty levels are. (Before they got lazy in some of the sequels and made a hash of them).

Captain Binary seems to have picked out the worse bits and has taken the shell of the game without any thought as to actually balancing the play. After getting bumtazored repeatedly by some flying things I just switched it off.

Potentials there, just needs some serious tweaking and it'd be a bit special. As it is, mnnneeeeurgh.

Fun game. Pretty easy too. ;)

Bob, I have to agree with you...Supremely glossy, but woefully unbalanced :( A real shame.
