Found this on Lost Levels.org. It was supposed to be a Vulgus sequel.

Cool - shame it wasn't relased! Judging from pics, it seemed quite advanced in production.

Good stuff. It's pretty easy to become overpowered, however. ...quite the switch from Vulgus. Hit detection is a little wonky and there are some bugs...but what would you expect from an unfinished game?

TW looks good- IMO, somewhat like a cross between Life Force and Truxton. It's a shame they didn't finish this one up, since it had potential.

Huh. Cool. That brain boss peaking over the wall in that one screenshot looks tight as hell. I haven't played the prequel, but it seems pretty interesting.

Thanks for the post, mainpatr1! I remember playing this game when I was ten and wondered why it was never released.

edit: I'm totally digging the music. According to a poster on the Lost Levels, it was composed by a so-called "Mrs. Tarumi", who also did music for Bionic Commando and Strider.

Haaha, I remember my cousin kept joking the first boss's second form was a penis.

Alein Space Bugs are having a coming out party and your invited.

I really suck at this game, but its pretty fun. The only similarity to Vulgus is the art it plays so diffrent.

This makes me think about what the Vulgus is exactly? It was a gaint rock in the original game and it seems to take many diffrent forms in this game. Is their a Capcom site that has some sort of explanation?
