This one was apparently being developed by Visual Concepts, who also did ClayFighter, Claymates, Harley's Humongous Adventure & Lester the Unlikely around the same era. Like those games, this one had some real effort put into it(even if HHA kinda sucked) & was set to be published by Electro Brain. This was set to be a game with 16 levels & various gameplay sections, such as side-scrolling run 'n' gun platformer levels, first person shooter sections & flight sections. This was set to be some ambitious game, but apparently the game had a troubled development. The game's developer changed before the reveal that Visual Concepts developed the game, so perhaps it was started by some other, unknown developer(albeit still set to be published by Electro Brain)? It also changed direction as a result of development switching to Visual Concepts, so we assume that the original developer might've had different ideas, like having it only be a run 'n' gun platformer game?
Why the game was never released in either form is unknown, but the troubled development of this game could be why. Presumably Visual Concepts had a rough time trying to get the game in a good state & ultimately it would've been too costly to move forward with releasing the game? Also, it seems that when it switched to Visual Concepts, the idea of a Sega Genesis version(which is what the unknown developer was planning on making when they were the developer of this game) was thrown out the window by VC, instead making it a SNES-exclusive before never seeing a release at all.
I also checked Sega Retro, wondering if this unknown developer was perhaps credited there & perhaps even a source on the developer, but nope, it seems that the original developer of this game before switching to Visual Concepts is still a mystery.
