All the jokes hit!! Amazing writing, almost nostalgic in technique.

The animation was a fun style, like a consistently caricaturesque alternate universe. And really smoothly cut. The courtroom sketch style for flashbacks was a really classy choice.

And all the voices were - well it's Jayden Libran, they're basically indistinguishable from the real voices.

You two are so skilled! AHH

Super effective storytelling given the 48 hour deadline! For how chaotic it was, including the music -- say, when will it be on vinyl? lol -- I'm impressed it was able to have a cohesive story arc and satisfying end.

Great job!!

I majorly adore this!!

The visual style rocks, the pacing is so perfect, and the story hits all the right marks in a surprisingly short allotment. I also think the animation and sound compliment each other just right

and the crow at the table omg dude

I wish for you to continue making stuff with this sort of cohesive rigor, perhaps in a less academic context, where you can boldly present your personality, worldbuilding, and ofc humor :D

I was exploring an old backup drive I had, and found a game I made in PowerPoint before I knew how to make Flash games. It was similar to this, and immediately brought "Particles" back into my memory.

So, thank you for inspiring 10-year-old me with this arcade game! :)

(My high score today is "terribly hard" with 203 seconds!)

Woah! I love how the challenge progresses! I'm surprised how "possible" it is even into the third stage of the game. It makes you feel skillful here and there.
Aside from desiring a Newgrounds leaderboard for this, the main thing I'd suggest is to add a way to repair your shield. :)

Awesome arcade game!!

Holy moly played a few rounds every day for a week now and FINALLY got the minute achievement... by 14 milliseconds! Made it by a pixel or two there lol, my poor heart.

But gosh, what an excellent little game this is! It's such a loveable gimmick and everything feels nicely polished - every asset compliments the gameplay and such. The music somehow never gets old, and I especially love how it slows down for the menu. All super great, you always impress me.

My only issue with the game is how it just ramps up way too fast after 40 seconds - it's my favorite difficulty in the game, but so quickly it switches to a game of RNG. I would honestly love to see it kind of plateau at a difficulty around there, to balance the exhilaration with fairness.

All and all, a wheely killer game!

Also, I've no idea about that last mystery achievement. Is it possible to guess? Haha
Edit: Okay, I investigated a winner's profile and deduced how to get it from the badge icon. I feel like I shouldn't be able to see that. Oh well!

That's really fun syncopation whoa, and those arps are so beautiful at 1:45!

Really creative work serponge, I have no idea how you came up with this haha

serponge responds:

Thanks zanz!
I was wondering what the name for this was, syncopation yeah :)
I really need to learn more music theory

This makes me much more appreciate those really generic/unhelpful comments devs get that are like "add more weapons," because at least that still gives devs the creative power, versus having to battle the idea of just absorbing player suggestions.

Great podcast! What an amazing group of folks.

Hey good job! I'm in your tags for some reason, so I guess I should leave a review lol.

The song structure is good and fits what you'd expect from the genre. The build up works well especially because the sub comes in afterwards. Very nice! There are some really heavy note conflicts as the new melody comes in the break. I like what you're trying to do, but it's hard to listen past that. In your recent tracks, there aren't really any note conflicts like this, so you've improved a lot since this track! I appreciate how the second drop has more energy than the first though, so again you're good at keeping structure.

I hope the review helps! Keep up the great work!

This is a really classy way to meme! You really disarmed the feel of the original painting

My favorite part is the dragon's "definition of insanity" level of persistence shown by the sheer number of bottles having the same fate. It's inspiring in a way! Great visual storytelling.

Cruel irony has it, the papers in the bottles are vouchers for cork screw openers.

Lovely job - deserving of the cover! :)

ArtDeepMind responds:

Thank you very much, you describe it way better than me.

Honestly this is a pretty awesome style! Love how it actually has life to it even though it's a rigid CAD model. Nice work!

It would be really cool to see your creatures fully rigged and animated in an isometric game or animation :) Or I'm sure there's a way to stylize this into a full artwork, whether it would be by flattening it into textured stained glass piece with a starry glass background, or by carefully converting it to pixel art with a limited desaturated palette or something. It had me thinking, so I like it.

RongYuigh responds:

I'm more of an artist than a game maker, by the way. But who knows? The next person to read your comment might catch up on the idea.

Game developer and music producer! I made the Mine Blocks game(s).
