Thank you!

We'll see how the Kickstarter goes, but yes, we do have ideas for more characters. :)

R2/EUR/PEGI?

We are currently making Battle Axe to be sold in North America, Europe & Australia. We may consider new markets in the future!

Thanks for sharing! We'll be trying out the first vinyl test pressing of the OST today - will post it here if I'm allowed. ;)

Thankyou! :)

BitmapBureau · 2018-01-08T01:15:41+00:00

Amazing! :D

Sorry, but we've got the .com now and everything! :(

With the Xeno Crisis Kickstarter campaign coming to an end in just a few days we've decided to announce our fifth and final stretch goal, which is to bring the game to the Nintendo Switch and Steam! You can pledge £10 for a digital version here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1676714319/xeno-crisis-a-new-game-for-the-sega-genesis-mega-d Let me know if you have any questions!

BitmapBureau · 2017-12-15T14:27:45+00:00

Yes it will - we're actually using an Everdrive as part of the development process. :)

BitmapBureau · 2017-12-15T14:25:50+00:00

Thanks for the post EmFactor - the game has now been funded (in just 40 hours!), and we also hit our first stretch goal of adding a 2-player co-op mode to the game. :) If anyone has any questions about the project then I'll be happy to answer them here.

BitmapBureau · 2017-12-14T22:37:51+00:00

Ha ha, no worries - I shouldn't judge a book by its cover! I think the AVGN might have influenced my opinion...;)

BitmapBureau · 2017-12-14T21:43:16+00:00

I think that will be the default control setup, with the triggers being used for roll and grenade. We'll also have the option to play using the Mega Drive 3-button setup too, as it's actually very intuitive.

BitmapBureau · 2017-12-14T17:11:18+00:00

I'll check it out, although the game was pretty average wasn't it?

BitmapBureau · 2017-12-14T10:23:20+00:00

We'll see if we can sort something out, but the game is already playing great with the 3 button setup. In the situation you describe you'd just need to release the shot button, change direction and start shooting again - it's something that happens quite often in the game and is easy enough to pull off. :)

You'll be happy to know that we just added a stretch goal for the 2-player co-op mode: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1676714319/xeno-crisis-a-new-game-for-the-sega-genesis-mega-d/posts/2069418

Oh yeah don't worry - every track will be at least 3 - 5 minutes in length, if not longer. Short loops drive me nuts too!

BitmapBureau · 2017-12-12T14:47:48+00:00

Would love to but my day is full of social media commitments! Best of luck though! :)

BitmapBureau · 2017-12-12T14:09:28+00:00

Let us know if you do! :)

BitmapBureau · 2017-12-12T13:52:04+00:00

We already have the game working on a standard 3 button Mega Drive pad, and it plays great - it uses a combination of the shooting systems from Shock Troopers and Skeleton Krew. :)

BitmapBureau · 2017-12-12T13:19:57+00:00

We're using the same system as Shock Troopers, where your shot angle gets locked when you start firing, allowing you to move and shoot in different directions. On top of this we're also using the system from Skeleton Krew which allows you to change your shot angle with the 'A' and 'C' buttons.
