Cool very Metroid like and pretty challenging thus far I'll be looking forward to playing this more tomorrow. I have to get better at using a keyboard to play games it is difficult to do so.

Oh I hope this is what it looks to be please let it be a Metroid style game. I'm downloading now. I've been searching all of the games on Desura and I do mean all of them trying to find something that has the embodyment of Metroid. There are an isane amount of every other genre but almost none for Metroid. Also looking for these other styles: Contra (found Bleed), Ninja Gaiden (NES era), Metroid: Prime, Zelda: Ocarina of Time. Everything else out there gets ripped off and upgraded but not these. And the few I have found are too wacky or are just bad. Except for Bleed that game Contra style is awesome. Anyways this game looks good I haven't come accross anything metroid like since Shadow Complex and though that was AMAZING! that was a long time ago.

I just picked up:
Bleed (Excellent yet difficult),
Dungeon Lore (tediously fun),
Gear Jack (a runner with attitude, variation, and style),
Major Mayhem (haven't played yet), and
Plazma Being (haven't played yet);
all for just over $20!

I could go on and on and on about every thing this game has going on. I am really enjoying it. Thank you.

I can not fully express my appreciation for this game. I'll start at the beginning. At first glance I was curious yet didn't have really high hopes. I'm sorry I doubted. The more I played the more I have come to love the look and feel of the graphical presentation. It is retro feeling yet completely new and offers a unique atmosphere. The tank controls so smoothly and so well. I play with the Xbox controller for I'm never had much success using the keyboard and mouse for anything other than a FPS. I did try it with this game and was surprised at how fun it was for me, but ultimately I'm a fan of the controller. Though aiming with my optical trackball mouse was fun. Steering the tank in side scrolling mode with a key board is something I just fail at. The only thing I complaint about with the controller is not giving it a classic feel with the fire being assigned a button as well as having the current option of using a bumper; the option to use a trigger would be fun as well. My index figure has trouble clicking the bumper open the controller often and quickly. It is just an uncomfortable position to maintain and use frequently. I love that the game does not explain what you can do, where to go, how to get there, or even what is possible. Like swimming in FP view. Lol I was presently surprised to discover that was a possibility. I just accidentally held down jump to long. Hover doesn't work on water reminded me of Back to the Future part III. The recharging hover I really like that. How solid objects feel mainly the tank interacting with floors, walls, and under water. The sound effects under water are cool. There are so many different modes of play it keeps things changing up. I'm not impressed with how the main character out side the tank controls but that may be intentional for it is very basic like in the original game but I see a missed opportunity to add so much that was never there before.

How?
