Can't get this game to work on my pc so far.

Looks totally awesome though and something I hope I can buy/play 1 day. Looks more gradius than V to me.

I came in, but I have no idea what you're talking about.

Link to Storm Assault, please?

(you didn't mean to write Solar Assault, did you?)

Edit: ah, wow - pretty good looking. Warning sign is a bit too Darius-ish.

Forgot to put in the link and fixed it in about a milisecond. You were too fast though.

Storm Assault it is btw...

Combining great things is a good thing here (imho)

Yeah, watched it fully and I have no complaints, it's pretty hot. Maybe that last boss was just a tad too long (repetitive patterns too).

Let's hope they complete this one.

Although I still don't get why GV hate from many fans of the series...

It's very short........first level plays like a boss rush, with just a few power up enemies in between encounters.

Gameplay reminds me most of Gaiden, which is a good thing.

Feels very unfinished at the moment, but has great potential when final version is up.

I was hoping for some insight into this from you Postman!

I don't always agree with your vision (I love Last Hope - which you didn't like too much), but always take notice and take iyour view into consideration.

THNX for everything again.

Ha, when does being a Gradius "clone" degenerate into becoming a Gradius copycat?

Basically everything about that game has Gradius written all over it. It looks very cool, yes, because it's essentially a successor to 3 in every way

since the Gradius series itself got neglected...

Gradius used to pwn every other game in existence. (b4 salamander came through)

Looks like more fun than most Gradii (excluding II and Gaiden).
