This is a project I've been very heavily involved with for the past year or so, mainly as the voice director and a beta tester. (I also voice the police captain, Vela.) Though its creator actually began work on it in early 2008.
Regarding the graphics -- trust me,
we know. But he's worked extremely hard for 3 years, and we hope to see people still get a lot of enjoyment out of this game, despite his artistic limitations. Especially those who are fans of the gameplay found in Metroid, Contra, Mega Man, or Cave Story. All 6 stages are currently complete, with a new one to be released every few days.
