Thanks. Abuse is certainly one of the games we've been inspired by, and I think it's fair to say we've both kinda wanted to build a game that used those assets ever since they were released to the public domain. But I think if anything our game is a more direct descendant of older console run'n'gun platformers like Turrican (even though it's not a game I ever particularly loved). That might be just us showing our ages though :D
