Spectacular music; looks like a good ol' time.

Looks pretty cool! About time we get GRAPHICS, and not another shmup with just glowing triangles vs a red rectangle.
Posted by: Anonymous | October 15, 2009 4:06 PM
I love the wonderful pixel art graphics. :D
Posted by: Naufr4g0 | October 15, 2009 4:08 PM
Wow, that looks so fun i want to play it, and i never played a SHMUP in my life!
Posted by: Flafi | October 15, 2009 6:31 PM
lovely! is this gamemaker? :O
Posted by: jw | October 15, 2009 8:47 PM
This looks really great. Everything I saw was awe-inspiring and extremely polished.
The voice acting, from what little I heard of it, seems to be unsettlingly bad and out of place, though.
Posted by: Andy Wolff | October 15, 2009 9:28 PM
Game Maker, yes. Windows only.
Posted by: Tim | October 15, 2009 9:33 PM
I've been waiting for this for a long time! I agree with Andy that the voice acting sounds *bad*, but for me this adds authenticity to this old-school Japanese style shooter :)
Posted by: James Monkman (RGCD) | October 15, 2009 9:37 PM
Yes yes yes! Coming soon, yeah!

Looks good enough for a Super Nintendo port... That's if you were able to put it on a cartridge.
Posted by: Gio | October 16, 2009 12:25 AM
Looks incredible.

lawl
Love the music. Together with the logo, the whole thing reminds me of an 80s hair metal band.
Don't know if that's good or bad, but it is for sure interesting.

Whoa, awesome stuff!
I can see references to Gradius V, Gradius Gaiden, Gradius Advance/Galaxies, Gradius II and even Salamander 2.
The "cheesy" voices are a staple of the Gradius series, too!
Can't wait for this. Another awesome Gradius-like to go along the magnificent Storm Assault. Cool!

I find that gameplay-wise it seems to be too close to Gradius. I understand that that's intentional, but personally I'd be more interested in something more original. Still, it looks really good and very fun to play, of course. Looking forward to the release.

Very appealing game to me....would like to see it on a handheld too...
Posted by: Kenny | October 17, 2009 2:29 AM
Hell yeah!
This looks sooo good!
And as far as originality goes, in this day and age this IS original imo. Despite retro having been relatively trendy there's really not alot of indiegames looking like 16bit games out there.
so gtfo with all your gay monochrome-seizure-vector-arena-achievement-shooters. Can't wait to play this.

This reminds me strongly of the SNES game Axelay... Which can only be a good thing!
Posted by: Anthony | October 18, 2009 1:14 AM
Whoa - want now!
Posted by: Kevin | October 19, 2009 9:19 PM
