anybody else playing this? it's a 2D action game a-la metroid made by the henry hatsworth team actualy more close to metroid fusion in that the game tells you where to go next and it is more linear (albeit not completly linear)
the gimmick is that you have a pet with the imaginative name of "chompy" and he follows you around,give him different items and he gains new forms which let him learn new skills like headbutting the enemies or shooting fireballs,it's somewhat similiar to castlevania AoS soul system (you even assign the skills to your lateral buttons) different forms also have different stat so you have thing like the defense form (which learn a skill that make a shield in front of you) or the quick form and there is also a small rock-paper-scissor element added to the whole mix just to spice things up
