Looks like it turned out as intended. :D
Just needed a minor pixel tweak at the top... piece of cake. :)

Game looks awesome!!  The inclusion of co-op is the best part, there isn't enough co-op shooters on the TG16.  Will there be any balancing or changing of the patterns with 2 players, or is it just additional firepower for the players?
The levels stay the same, but the difficulty of the bosses is ramped up when there's 2 players. Having 2 players is still an advantage though, mainly for some of the secrets. I'm not going to give too much away (they're secrets after all!), but one of the features of the game is scoring extra points for rapid kills without being hit. So-called "rush attacks" boost your score significantly, and are required to master if you want 100% completion on all the unlockables and achievements. Having 2 players at once increases your chances of pulling it off, as long as neither player is hit; being hit breaks the counter, and kills are never counted during the temporary invincibility time.

Three out of the eight slots have been filled, so five are still to be decided. I haven't missed anyone's application, no worries. :)

That video was actually the first time that I saw it in action. It was just theoritical before that. :P

Nod's pitch for that stage was basically "the first area of the jungle/forest stage in Lords of Thunder", with a bit of foreground parallax and a large section with trees and something special which will be a surprise. :)

Promotional video to tell the big news...



Beta testing is about to begin. We are now officially accepting applications for closed beta testers. Registration is simple but details are everything!

To apply for a position on the closed beta team, send me a PM with the following information:

-Name you would like to have appear in the credits
-An email address you can be reached at
-Whether or not you have previous experience with closed beta testing (and if so, list your experience)
-Whether or not you have hardware (and if no hardware, whether or not you can work with Mednafen)

We will be selecting eight people for the beta test, and it will run until the game is ready for manufacturing. Each beta tester will receive two free copies of the game, plus the complete set of additional promotional merchandise.


Awesome. I just can't shake this weird feeling when I see the blue witch who is so precariously seated on her broom that I worry about her losing her balance and falling to her demise.

I don't know why I am queasy when I see her.

Obviously, I love everything I've seen and read about the game. The scoring system is great (fast kill).

Whenever Rover makes a game I worry that mad Turrican/Exile2 skills will be required to play it.

Okay... we have enough applicants to choose a beta test panel, so no new applications will be accepted. Results will not be publicly announced but instead sent via PM to all applicants. The beta test will begin after Xmas.
