David and I team up again to play blindly (well, David anyway) through the fourth stage. This is the "fleshy" level in the game, where all the enemies are organic and take after cell organelles. For that reason it is very reminiscent of Lifeforce but also other organic shooters like the ending levels of R-Type, Biometal and Abadox.
The last two, while not shining beacons of the genre, are worth a play. The most notable thing about Biometal is the licensed soundtrack from 2 Unlimited.
