@Comedius: Added the basic movement now (though needs bit polishment).

On the other hand one of my problems is the source material presentation (or more simply put what franchises could I use in this game). So far I have a quite a mishmash: I thought things like making Mario and then Arche Klein from Tales Of Phantasia playable (based on her GROOVY Arche-weapons)- stages also range from Mario->Sonic->Axelay->Golden Sun.

I guess I could manage under this but I feel like I could use any ideas on what kind of characters from games I could use so people playing this game wouldn't feel completely disoriented or confused on what this game's "theme" is about. Once I thought about obscure/cult classic VG characters with weapon sets from other SHMUPS (from their respective companies if possible, e.g Milon from Milon's Secret Castle/Doremi Fantasy with Super Star Soldier-weapon set) with their own twists, but I still don't want to throw out other characters not fit in that category for sake of that (like aforementioned Mario and Arche above since I'd find them fun to translate in a Gradius-game).

What do you guys think? This would quite help me out to realize the scope for this project or at least know what kind of a game it'll be in means of representation and tributing.
