good game would love if the switch mechanic wasnt so slow and the guy just jumped in jumped out rather than having to wait 15 seconds to switch between chai and rick  other than that i like what i see so far sent it to my guy madxzero  and the rest of the gang over on twitch i may stream this demo  tomorrow to try and get it to more people 

Thanks. Good point about tagging, we've been thinking about this. We'll try other approaches.

This is one of my favorite game styles, I can't wait for this one to be finished, it's looking great!

I'm also developing a game for Mega Drive and I know all the difficulties involved, follow my project too!

Thank you!
