I bought the Switch version, but haven't played a ton of it yet.

Can anyone say how much more content they added? There's supposed to be a jetpack stage.

Yes, I've seen that. I just wondered if anyone has seen the new stuff in a vid, or hands on.

EDIT: I watched the trailer, and saw the jetpack stage. I can't recall how many of the bosses are new. My memory is a little fuzzy on the original. I remember the last boss giving me serious grief.

I bought this and tried first three stages. Love it. My only gripes is that score is missing from the switch version, which is a shame really :/ Now it also looks like some of the dropped items (such as metal orbs) have no function whatsoever, as there are no points.

I take it from the screenshots that this is a straight Turrican rip? If so, count me in tomorrow!

Made it to stage 7 (waste grounds) on my first go, with continues just to see more of the game - experience in the DC version very handy in tackling some enemies. Most of the stages are larger and/or tougher but some of the bosses have been balanced out. Stage 3 midboss and the trash compactor monster most notably, both I remember being quite brutal in the original release. The new boss I came across was cleverly designed and a fun fight. Collision detection has been vastly improved.

Game gives you plenty of opportunities for 1ups once you've sussed a few of the commonly used tricks and unlike Turrican you're not against the clock. And you'll need them to learn boss patterns and get through the tricky jumps in the auto-scrolling stage acid pipe.

Not a fan of the laser whip being on the right stick though. I keep clicking the right trigger to engage it (as per the DC version) and I wish this was an option in the controls.

Great price at £9, I hope this does well as it's a worthy Turrican homage.

Me too. This would be a perfect game for the M30 if not for that.

Picked up last night, only had the briefest of goes but it definitely seems like my jam. Looks absolutely gorgeous as well. Quite insane vale at £8.99.

A bit late to the party, but I downloaded this the other day for my switch. Crazy to think this game that used to be so pricey is now officially available for just $10.

I haven't played too much of it, but besides the score counter being gone for no apparent reason, it seems like big gems actually vanish from levels after you get all the big gems in them, and there doesn't seem to be any way to restore them if you say wanted to explore levels fresh. Anyone know if there's a way to bring the big gems back short of deleting the application save file?

Any idea of when the physical copy is coming out? And who may be releasing it?
I don't want to miss some kind of Limited Run thing (as I do time to time).
