I was yearning for a hack'n slay game that combines the best of the best - taking the overall basic combat and movement system established by "Ninja Gaiden", additionally implementing the firearms and juggler-combos from "Devil May Cry" and putting on top the quick-timed skirmish and finishing moves from "God of War" - and the whole thing presented in ultra-paced 2D. You made that goddamn wicked little dream of mine come true, man! I'm so happy and grateful, if I wasn't living in Germany, I'd just pay you a visit and bring you a bottle of Single Malt. But well, I'll drink at least a very large toast to you! Lad, you did hell of a job there.

Then I played through it about 7 more times. Holy shit, your game is fucking awesome. I'm disappointed I hadn't heard of it before; clearly I need better news sources if they aren't reporting on this. Just as an aside, I went through your blog here to see if there was anymore juicy info I could find, and noticed some people who wanted to do a Wikipedia page on the game. I checked it out, noticed it wasn't that great, so I added a bunch more stuff from various reviews and interviews you posted here. I wondered if you had anymore you could link? Wikipedia LOOOOOVES its sources. In any case, I can't wait to get my grubby little hands on the full version! Keep up the awesome work! :) I played through the demo on XBLA last night.

How did you do this all by yourself??? You have a LOT of talent - I'll be looking out for future games from you. I just played your demo; it’s fantastic – you’re gonna be rich mate.

Some of the dark brown levels are really dark. Other than that, I must have this game now! Wicked game dude, but you need to put in some brightness/contrast/gamma controls.

But after playing a bit, I can honestly say: you, sir, kick major ass. And after hearing that you did everything, I got jealous. You're a genius. And when it's on the XBLA, you so have my money/points. I must be honest, I didin’t hear of the game before yesterday and the Community announcement.

I am eager to play the full version. How will I do this? can I buy it on XBLA eventually? I thought that's where it was going to end up when I first heard of this game. Will I need to do anything like buy an XNA club account, 'cause I can't afford that. I just want to buy your game. Your game is fantastic! I am eager to play the full version.
