It's crazy how this 2 hour game, that is a second entry into a trilogy of games, feels like a complete, multi-layered, and fully realized standalone sci-fi narrative, that (imo) can rival titans of the genre. And what's even crazier is that according to the dev, this was made in ONE MONTH. I absolutely love indie devs man, I was already super excited for ECHOSTASIS, but right now it is my most anticipated game, I cannot wait to see the conclusion to this trilogy

a sprite scaler style shooter so authentic feeling that you can't really tell when you've successfully passed a projectile or not

Nuts that they made not one, but two separate games based on this terrible movie. The other one on SNES/Genesis is your bog-standard shovelware platformer, but this is a stunningly dumb graphic adventure/fighting game(!) hybrid where you do silly inventory puzzles and then every once in a while get into SFII-style fights with everything from dogs to shopkeepers to Helena Bonham Carter. At a bit of a loss here, but I will say that it definitely isn't fun.

HOLY JANK KINO
Non canon of course but it has way more soul then any 3d anime fighter these days.
Also the character interactions are top notch
