D.LUXX Tries...Action Fist (2012,PC). Round One: Rain Base Zone.
I Heard about this game from a family friend who is also an avid PC indie gamer (like myself, hehe). Really fun 2D 8bit run and gun shmup that has been compared by some as an homage to great run and gun games like Gunstar Heroes and Contra. The game was developed and designed by Beau Blyth of Teknogames in 2010. Check out their website for more about them, the game and other info:

Players can choose from two selectable characters: Domingus and Ina, and later unlock two other extra characters at later stages.
Here, I play as male protagonist, Domingus through the first stage.
Someone (referred to as "he") has stolen something very dear and precious to Domingus and he is mighty peeved about it. So, he sets out to get what is his back from "him"...Of course, with a situation like this, you know that all fecal matter is about to hit the fan!.
