Well, I came back to do a description for it, but my good viewers posted some good stuff, so I'll just quote them (with slight notations) instead :D

"Osman (Cannon-Dancer in Japan) is a 1996 arcade game developed by Mitchell Corporation, known for the Pang/Buster Bros. and PuzzLoop series, as well as working with Nintendo on the Polarium games and Sujin Taisen: Number Battles. The game was powered by the Data East 156 board, considering Mitchell also comprised of ex-Data East staff who had knowledge with the hardware. " - alvieao2

"As mentioned below (or above, since I'm copying it), Osman is a spiritual sequel to the Strider Hiryu, since the team comprised of ex-Capcom staff including Strider designer Kouichi "Isuke" Yotsui. 15 years later, Isuke made another spiritual sequel in the 2011 XBLA/PSN title Moon Diver, a four-player side-scroller by Square Enix and the now-defunct feelplus." -alvieao2

"It (the game) makes sense in the original Japanese version (Cannon Dancer). The international release (Osman) severely butched the dialogues and overall plot." - Holothurion

"After watching the video, I had a feeling this game was somehow related to 'Strider'. FYI: Osman is a side-scrolling action platforming game produced by Mitchell Corp. as a coin-operated arcade game in 1996. Many ex-Capcom staff including Kouichi Yotsui (credited as Isuke), worked on the original arcade version of Strider & designed Osman as an unofficial sequel to Strider.Yotsui directed both titles.The game's plot supposedly mocks director Kouichi Yotsui's experience at Capcom after Strider." - segagenesis1989
