    They all look good, but my favorites so far are the killer shrew and crawling hand.

    Nice touch on the Troll enemy! What is Robot Monster from?

    Edit: To answer my own question I see there is a movie called Robot Monster from 1953 that is advertised as in 3D. Not a bad looking villian albiet a tad over the top; I prefer the film version's skeleton face.

    Any of you who are excited about the game, do you think you could click the 'like' button on the YouTube vid? Some kids at 4chan decided they didn't like retro games, that they were for hipsters, so they came and gave me dislikes which could hurt my future views.

    Thank you my friend :)

    I gotta say guys, I'm really pleased with MANOS, it's coming along great and I'm really proud of it, and it keeps getting better, there are so many features I can't wait for you all to discover!

    Introducing one of MANOS’ best power-ups: The BOOM STICK! When Mike picks this up, he temporarily trades his trusty revolver in for a powerful shotgun. You’ll be showering enemies with hot lead right up until the moment you take damage.

    You’ll want to hold on to this for as long as you can, to give you as much of an advantage as possible, particularly against the game’s many bosses, including this giant clawed monstrosity of a bird…
