Rhino and I had a chance to play this at Hudson last year and it was hella fun - but hard. Rhino recently played a more recent build and said they had balanced it out quite a bit and that it was side scrolling action at its best!

I really like side scrolling games, I really miss them. I have to give this one a try. Can't wait to it comes out and hope to see more in the future

Those screenshots remind of an old NES game Section Z. It was a pretty tough game and was fast paced. I will have to give this demo a try.
