Moonshot Games is a studio formed by ex-Bungie folks who are working on a side-scrolling shooter. And, according to the Internet's own Sam Houston, there's a smidge of ex-Harmonix action going on at the company now, too. The game is named Fallen Frontier, and attached is the debut trailer.

They're offering up a few more details here, on the official site. For PAX East attendees, look for booth #759 stuck between Haunted Temple Studios and Robot Entertainment. Sounds like a happening spot to me.

Jonathan Ross urged me to reference the old run-and-gun Abuse for serious nerd cred, but I don't know what that is. Partial credit for trying?

It looks rather fluid. I'm curious as to what console(s) this game will grace it's appearance with.

@SuperMonk4Ever

if you watch closely you can notice the "X" button from a PS3 controller in the bottom left at one point.

If you had bothered to read up on the game I might have given partial credit, but as is no dice. Sorry, my hands are tied.

Interesting. My guess is it's gonna be an XBLA and PSN game.

Ex-bungie employee 1: were free from bungie, what should we make a game about?

Ex-bungie employee 2: futuristic space marines.

I think it looks more like the Blue X button on the Xbox controllers...
And with it being former Bungie employees, it'd make since that it would at least be for Xbox, who knows what others.

Abuse! Yes, that was an excellent game. I used to play it on the Mac all the time. I believe Bungie either ported it or published it for Mac? Regardless, there's a pretty hard to play due to touchscreen controls on the App Store for iPhone.

Looks good!

looks like what would happen if Shadow Complex, Shank, Halo and Bionic Commando had a test-tube baby.

Yeah, I was going to say Abuse without the kickass power suit.

Doesn't look like my kinda thing honestly. I like the mechanics of the two player though. Very interesting way to do split screen and I hope it works.

Interesting. I like the two-player double grappling.

Hmm, yeah, this does look a lot like Abuse. Nothing wrong with that. I wouldn't mind a remake in the vein of Bionic Commando: Rearmed...since that is pretty much what this looks like anyway.

Sounded good in text form, but that video just looked... off. Something about it is all floaty and janky looking. Perhaps there is still a lot of work to be done.
