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 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.
Merry Christmas to everyone! Demo 4.0 is finally public on Windows!

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.
Decided to redo the art. I prefer drawing them like this (smaller, multiple drawings per sheet). What do you think?
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?
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.
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.
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.
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).
I can't believe this project has hit 400+ followers (my own account event hit 200+)! Thank you all!
