There are few things to do and demo will be complete.

[sixthcircle]

looks pretty awesome is there a single plane of movement or can you move up and down?

[mtrain]

Video quality cant show true palette, so here is 2 screenshots:

 The video looks great!
 The animation feels smooth and you added decorative stuffs such as ship, big boss walking behind and boss floating behind elevator. Great!

 BTW can players block? With narrow playing field like this, it's hard to survive without block or any defensive abilities.

[mtrain]

Thank you BB!  Yes, player can block (they were in video  )

About the collision issues and jumping;

I think all those need is some fine tuning. @mtrain, don't forget the default values for ranges, zdepth, jumps and knockdown velocity are all intended for characters sized to 320*240 resolution. A bit of simple tweaking, and those problems will go away.

Something else you might want to look at is dead enemy removal. It's very jarring when you have all of these awesome effects, but then grunt enemies just flash and disappear when beaten. That kind of thing might be OK for Double Dragon or the original BOR, but it has no place in a visual masterpiece like this mod. One option is to leave them on screen, but considering the size of your characters that would probably make too much clutter; perhaps they should explode like the drones. If nothing else, use an alpha mask to fade them out instead of flashing.

Again, I think the overall mechanics and game play variety still need a lot of work, but you have a great start on your hands. Keep at it.

Yeah most of the comments was about it, i will try to fix this)

enemies just flash and disappear

Haha, i knew that someone must say that)) And i want to say that earlier i keep them all on screen, but there is a trouble: status icon of killed enemy dont disappear from screen long time, so i make them removing from screen, but as for blinking, i have not make disappearing animation to time of demo release.
