That game looks sick. Reminds me of Dexter’s lab which I love. I happen to be a graphic artist and just the other day decided to try get work as a pixel artist. Something I thought would be a challenge. Boy was I wrong. I’ve got tons of work in just a few days through pixelation, deviantart, pixeljunkie, and the game maker community. I had no idea people like me were in demand.

You’ll also notice the use of music between the various stages. The stages with a more leisurely theme (1-1,1-3 for example) allow for more exploration featuring verticle and horizontal scrolling. When you enter the more action-oriented and auto-scrolling stages (1-2, 1-4, Airships), you’re greeted with a much faster tempo.

Well, obviously a lot of effort went into the game, but it’s not nearly as unique and offbeat an MMO as the reviews make it sound.

So, basically, this is just another ho-hum MMO that hasn’t put much initial effort into the few good ideas it brought to the genre, right?

I’m amazed by how much more annoying the console UIs are than UIs for PC games, which themselves aren’t uniformly great. The Nintendo DS appealed to me because I could just close the screen to put it to sleep instead of having to start over, but it too has infuriating menus.
