System: NEOGEO MVS/AES

The score system is based on medal chaining and a mild rank system.
Bombs are build by collecting powerups.

Game

- 6 stages with varied and colorful settings
- 6 endbosses
- 16-bit hand-drawn graphics (dot graphics)
- Switchable between vertical (TATE) and horizontal controls (YOKO)
- Maniac shooting game

BEHOLD!!!

[Fudoh]

sexy, looks nearly bit Toaplan'esque with the large enemy sprites. Ordered the MVS

[rancor]

Ordered the MVS

Sitting here with my finger on the trigger...

I wanted to get Battle Bakraid or DFK 1.5 next...

You guys are awesome. Great to see Rozyrg onboard with his lovely graphics as well. So this is playable as a vertizontal as well as in TATE? If so, will the screen have some sort of "bezel" on the sides or what?

[chempop]

Sweet, I'll buy a DC version

[stryc9]

Holy shit this looks good.

That was my first thought too. The bullet patterns look different but it has that "chunky" graphics style. Looks like fun.

Thanks, currently it plays only as tate. But it's possible to rotate controls. Which works surprisingly well!
Whether there will be a letterbox tate vert mode or not hasn't been decided yet. But the NEOGEO can't rotate sprites so it will be a little bit difficulty to pull off. We basically would need to program the game twice and need to rotate and scale all graphics.

I see. I have a 1-slot and EGRET II's, so I don't mind, but for folks with multislot mobos and horizontal-only screens, the rotated controls are an option. It would be cool if you added a horizontal title screen that can be turned on/off for the rotated controls option. Just a thought.

This!

also... good job! looks like an awesome game

[Ghegs]

I do like medals and the game does look pretty...what the hell. Four out of four.

[Fudoh]

Probably not a good idea to scale the graphics. Maybe a square area with reduced borders and added up/down scrolling (like the Psikyo PSX/SAT releases) would be the better idea.

[SuperPang]

Order placed. Much respect for not using crowd funding.

[MagicT]

Very nice news!! Thank you NG DEV TEAM!

[rtw]

Order Placed

Not quite true. The final meg count, midboss count and mode count is down to how many pre-orders they get. I don't think I like that approach, I don't believe it was the case for Gunlord/etc.

I also pre-ordered one.

[z0mbie90]

All I can say is Awesome!
You guys at NG:DEV are just amazing, you make so many games in so little time it's just mindblowing!

Hope to see a Dreamcast port like all the other game.
Best of luck guys!

If pre-sales dictate how long they can spend on development this time then I'd rather they did it this way than exploit Kickstarter like other devs do.

[RaidenViper]

Awesome

Order placed.

[Deca]

VERY Toaplan, at first glance I really dig what I see.

[Acid_Rain]

Can't afford NEOGEO games.

DC version?

[Trevor spencer]

Yeah DC version please - will VGI and PA be getting PreOrders too ?

[psoslayer]

Hope the green tiger bomb will be animated on the final.

Boooooom!

So this is playable as a vertizontal as well as in TATE?

TATE

[KAI]

Looks nice.
Who's in charge of the soundtrack?

[Op Intensify]

Thought this was going to be the already hinted-at 2 player Ikari Warriors clone.

Getting a strong Tatsujin Oh/Dogyuun/V-V vibe from that video, which is a very good thing.

[renardqueenston]

holy shit

i loved the XYX demos. really wishing i had the funds for this one, it would be an INSTANT purchase without hesitation. nailed it!

[MOSQUITO FIGHTER]

I'll buy the DC version. The bomb is so Truxton.

[lilmanjs]

This looks very cool. Best looking game I've seen yet from you guys and all of them look of high quality. If only I had the money, I'd buy this!

[Op Intensify]

I wasn't too enthused by NG:DEV's previous games, but I am definitely buying this if it gets a DC release.
