I'm still in college so I don't have time to comment in detail the way I would of liked. I like the movement system- expect to see a lot of games do this now thanks to Heart Gold and Soul Sliver (I reckon my own too lol).
I liked the intro of your post in general to help give people an idea who you are.
The 8 way movement is also a nice addition and I'm surprised this aint in the official games (let alone fan games).
Again, I can't comment the way I would of liked to, but I wanted to show my support for you.
Funny reading about Metropolis btw.
Edited: I made a mistake with one of my comments because I read it wrong
