Biomechanical Toy is a platform-and-shooting game developed by NG:DEV.TEAM and released in 2011 as a homebrew production for the Neo Geo, at a time when SNK's hardware had already been out of commercial production for years but still received support from independent studios. The protagonist is a mechanical dog crossing industrial facilities shooting and jumping, with an aesthetic that openly evokes classics like Turrican.
It's a standout example of the Neo Geo homebrew scene, which throughout the 2000s and 2010s kept the board alive with new releases built for both the original hardware and modern reissues. Worth a look for anyone wanting to see how far a 90s system can be stretched with modern design sensibility.
