I'll buy the game IF they've tightened up the air control (the orignal console one had pretty loose air control)

Air control is essential in a game whose main aim is to jump for person to person biting their heads of.

That IS the aim of the game right?

Wow, looks better than the original one. Never played it before though?

If it's good, I'm getting it!

Ah yes I remember playing this on Newgrounds. Console version was awesome and definitely looking forward to it

Is this game out yet?

does anyone bought already? i going to get now pls i want play coop so someone pls buy it

ok.. now that I've played it again I remember why I don't like it.
- Air control is very bad, hard trying to position your little alien to chew heads off.
- The enemy is very cheap, as a Metal Slug veteran I don't mind hard games, but I really hate cheap enemies.
- Level design is boring for the most part, but every now and then you get something interesting to do.

It's a nice game if you need your arcade platform shooter fix, but it's no Metal Slug if that's what you're expecting.

This game is real HARD even at medium difficulty, but I find the bosses satisfying which is the kind of game I like! When compared to the GC version, its seem that they have upped the difficulty.
For those who made it to the top of the leaderboards Behemoth (the developer/publisher) is offering real nice well deserved trophies as follows:

However the best part is, that they will even post it to achievers in this part of the world ,

Here's the ori game in case anyone's interested.

No storymode coop la..only can play the minigames with friend

this game is not bad. thinking of buying the full version

anyone bought it yet?? thinking of buying if many of us here have it

Bought it but the game is 'too hard' for me...

phew~ i'm safe thx for the reviews now i giving up buying it.

I bought it. It was hard for me at first, but with a short learning curve. Some of the latter levels are well designed with different gameplay especially when u temporarily get your ship back. Once you get used to it and learn to focus only on the bullets, it gets a lot easier. Between for story mode you can only coop on the same console not on Live. But the Mini games are fun, easier and most are playable on Live.

so PJ, what do u think of the game other than the difficulty?

It's not hard, it's CHEAP

how do i bite off ppl's head? i only done it by mashing buttons

When in the air, press Down + Jump when you're in the air above an enemy

thx 4 da info
