Holy dream team Batman!
That artwork looks fantastic. I can't wait to see this get released. Are there any plans to port this to another platform? As crazy as it sounds, a Neo release would be awesome! There have been some other similar homebrews, and Chunkout would lend itself nicely to arcade play. From there you could do an MVS, AES, and CD release. Again, I know it sounds crazy but it has been done in the past. I have no doubt that you be able to pull it off. I have some extra MVS carts that I would be willing to send you for free if you wanted to mess around with them. I know you want to do one thing at a time, but just keep it in the back of your head.
