This visual dose of pixel pampering comes courtesy of Hempuli's Environmental Station Alpha, a Windows-playable ode to Metroid which has been in development for over half a year now and sparked a lot of great discussion here months ago. Also worth noting is the soothing audio ambiance courtesy of Roope "Noby" Mäkinen, the trailer and in-game music man.

Hempuli says that the game is about halfway done and hopes to finish the project by the end of the year. Belated Happy Birthday, Hempuli! What a great way to celebrate!
