Hi all, just wanted to tell you about the game my brother and I have been building in our spare time for the last number of years.
It's called "Ratwood: Rodent of Virtue", it's a run 'n gun shooter in the vein of old console classics like Gunstar Heroes, Earthworm Jim, Contra, and Metal Slug. You control Rodent -- a rat that's been bestowed cosmic powers by a sentient plank of wood -- as he battles the enigmatic Knights of the Round for the fate of the entire universe.
What we were going for is that old styled frantic action you'd see back in the 16-bit era. An era where the game and it's environments were ridiculously colourful, the bosses were massive and plentiful, and the stories and characters were off-the-wall and completely ridiculous. (You're a hot-pink rat with a sentient plank of wood for a companion. Why?
Because video games.)

Thanks!
