I’m a sucker for new releases on old hardware so I went ahead and pre ordered the physical copy with case! ---

This looks great, getting huge Smash TV vibes. Will have to back this one, at least enough to get a ROM (Still undecided on the physical release, though the mockups look great) “I’d back that for a dollar!” ---

Why the heck would they sell the cartridge without the box. ---

There’s alot of people content with collecting cart only or using universal game cases etc. I’m not one of those however, and if I’m buying something it’s CIB only! ---

Same [guy](https://www.henknieborg.nl/) behind some visual stunners from the 16bit era - The Misadventures of Flink on the Mega Drive, or Lionheart on the Amiga - and other more modern 2D masterpieces (Contra 4 on the Nintendo DS, Mighty Switch Force on the 3DS…). ---

Love the look of this and hugely interested in the physical version. Looks and sounds great based on that pitch video! ---

Is the soundtrack playing from the Genesis version? Also the tunes have some Gunstar Heroes vibes emanating. ---

This looks great. Reminds me of The Chaos Engine. (pre-edit: duh which the creator cites as one of their inspirations!) ---

anyone else play this yet? the presentation, as we saw - it’s just great. looks and sounds awesome, and I’m dying before boss 3 so far but the variety in enemies, weapons etc keeps le coming back. only knock i have: I’m not sure if I’m thinking of robotron or what, but shooters like this have 2 sticks in the arcade, no? the six button options just don’t work for me; i reach to shoot left it down and the buttons just don’t do that. i was scared of the 3 button options (fearing it’d be like forgotten world’s port or something) but that setup - simply shooting wherever you were aiming last - worked far better for me, and i instantly did better. wondering if that’s just me, has anyone had luck adjusting to the 6 button options? still debating the physical on this one, wish i wasn’t so broke around this time of year!
