The music above is of a W.I.P SMS-FM (Yamaha YM2413) soundtrack. The ones in the video (which is a small handful) were composed by Lunar Renegade. Depending on when I release the next demo, it may not be toggleable until the final release, but who knows.
As of now, Sailor Neptune is the only Sailor Senshi that I need to do any major development work on. All other six are nearly complete, though they should require some additional polishing before the final release.
I'm currently working the key-configuration menu.
I've extended CCZ Act 1 & 2, LLZ act 1 (W.I.P) and RRZ act 2 a little bit.
I'm planning on adding a few extra challenges much like what is seen in the Sonic SMS Timelines games. Currently, the only ideas I have are a "Boss Rush" and "Collect X rings Challenge." They honestly shouldn't be too hard to add.
Loading...I can't believe this project has hit 400+ followers (my own account event hit 200+)! Thank you all!

Before I go to bed before Christmas, I figured I'd share a quick update. Don't worry, this project isn't dead but it has been a LOOOOOOONG time since I made any update.
I redrew the key art again and I'm quite happy with how it's turned out this time. Also, here's the logo. Hopefully, I can show a W.I.P instruction manual soon.
Also, thank you very much for 700 followers! I can't believe it's continued to grow, somehow.
Here's some pages of the W.I.P manual. I was originally going to go with a plain design similar to a lot of SMS manuals. Instead I opted for a more colourful design inspired by several Game Gear manuals I saw.
What do you think?
Merry Christmas to everyone! Demo 4.0 is finally public on Windows!

Sorry for not posting in at least 3 months. I could've sworn I said I'd post more often.
I've decided to tweak Zone 2's boss to give it a bit more substance. I've raised it's HP from 8 to 10 and added a second projectile attack.
What do you think?
Some of the FM soundtrack in action. In addition, I've added a new punching move to CCZ's boss, Boom Dogg. I've also redone his sprites. His animation is still limited but I think he looks a bit better.
Decided to redo the art. I prefer drawing them like this (smaller, multiple drawings per sheet). What do you think?
I drew a piece of artwork for the project. I hope to do more of these. They'll be perfect for the instruction manual (as well as thumbnails for YouTube playthroughs).
In the lead up to Demo 4, here's Soundwave Star Zone Act 1 which can be accessed via Up, Down, Up, Down, Left, Right, Button 1 running in 50Hz mode.
