    It's a fun demo for what it is.

    Interesting find. I'm all for shooting fireball-tossing giant spiders in cramped quarters. Thanks for sharing this

    Here are some direct feed screenshots. Hard to get really actiony shots that do the game justice. For something that was worked on for a couple of months, max (most likely anyway), it looks darn good.

    So research wise, what have you actually found about the game if anything?

    Is the original company still alive? If it is, could it be possible that we could find information about it if we tried contacting devs (assuming the former is still an option that is)?

    And yes, it really does look good for how little was worked on. It's impressive honestly.

    Well that sure makes it even more fun. Who knows, maybe with more publicity the devs could come to you?

    That is what I hope will happen. Im sure it was a shortlived project only worked on a handful of devs, so it just needs to find its way to the right eyes.

    It's definitely eye candy for something so short lived. I'm sure they could have made it stand out if they were given funding. It seems like they were trying to mix a lot of different shooter elements that were being used at the time.
