I’ve been keeping my eye on Neon Inferno for a while. It’s a run-and-gun game that looks a lot like Huntdown to me (which I loved), but Neon Inferno also has gallery-shooter sections. So I’m interested in giving it a try. I haven’t played the demo yet but I’m downloading it now and figured I’d share while I wait for it.
NYC 2055: a city beyond salvation. Blast your way through this dense cyberpunk jungle in NEON INFERNO, an explosive fusion of 2D run-and-gun and gallery-shooter, and help the Family dominate its streets!
Here’s a trailer.

Freaking love that art style.
Update: played the demo, loved the demo. Really fun retro run-and-gun. I didn’t realize there was a sword that’s always available too. So I can play kinda like Megaman Zero where one button is gun and one button is sword and you can use either one.
The foreground/background stuff isn’t just reserved for gallery shooting either. There’s a level on a motorcycle and you can move your character between foreground and background by changing lanes. It’s a fun idea.
I’m looking forward to the full game. It’s definitely more hectic than Huntdown but that isn’t a complaint for either game, just a design choice.
