I've been working on extended a couple of stages, mainly CCZ Act 2, MMZ Act 1 and AAZ Act 1. Their extensions aren't massive or anything but it makes them feel a little more complete.
I'm thinking about replacing the reverse-combo-move (the one you perform by pressing the Sailor Combo key without pressing in a direction) with the Sailor Senshi performing their special attack (the one that they perform automatically against bosses). This is because:
1. I'm finding it hard to come up with unique reverse-combo-moves,
2. It's quite useless since someone is more likely to press in the opposite direction and perform a side-combo-move instead when reacting quickly.
3. Having the player control a Senshi attack can make them more useful for offense against enemies and destroying monitors instead of just making bosses easier.
Loading...Sailor Venus and Sailor Uranus combo move-set. Venus' up and down combo move is based on her Earth Throw (specifically from the MD/GEN game) and is quite incomplete.
I few other things below:

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).
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.
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.
Decided to redo the art. I prefer drawing them like this (smaller, multiple drawings per sheet). What do you think?
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.
Important stuff in the article below.
Merry Christmas to everyone! Demo 4.0 is finally public on Windows!

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?
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?
Here's a look at another mini-game, one that's more akin to golf (or SNOLF, I suppose), except with an upside-down parasol.
Also, special thanks to Creative Araya for providing some more accurate translations to Brazilian Portuguese.
