in before skyway "indie games are ruining gaming even more than AAA popamoles"

 

[Ermm]

I can predict where this is going (in before Skyway bullshit post)

 

[Hobo Elf]

That's some pretty fine 2d art.

Animations look sweet, has the old skool vibe. Searching for demo. Or "demo".

 

[JarlFrank]

That's some pretty fine 2d art.

That's some pretty fine 2d art.

Sadly, looks like that is the only thing going for it. Seems pretty bland.

Indeed. The game has pretty decent art, but nothing more. Isn't this, ya know, exactly like CoD albeit at the other end of the spectrum? Awesum!!1one gfx with very little interesting content.

Horrible animation, this is not an indie it's just an amateur's attempt to develop a game.

I think it looks good but I'm a sucker for 2D platformers. Of course it boils down to the gameplay and the precision of the controls rather then the presentation so we'll have to see about those.

how is one different than the other

Good 2D art? Does *no-one* look at the weeaboo fighting game Codex threads to see how good 2D graphics can look these days?

 

[MetalCraze]

Baronjohn look - I don't even have to write anything now.

Out of all the stupid shit said on this site your 'Indie games are ruining gaming more then AAA titles' bullshit is seriously ranked highest on my list of 'Top ten things to help you point out a troll/retard' (barring the shit said in GD of course)
That isn't to say there aren't shit indie games (their are plenty) but your obvious obsession with searching out threads just to repeat yourself makes you look like a very sad OCD patient

Not that this is news to anyone

 

[Atheist]

Leave Skyway alone

 

[Spectacle]

No interest in this, but I for those who like this sort of thing, this is the sort of thing they like. Platformers are even more ignored by the mainstream game devs than hardcore RPGs.

good 2d art means art lovingly crafted pixel after pixel and adhering to pixel-art standards, like tricking the eye through various well-established techniques, not some hi-res shit that is just hand-drawn, scanned, and cleaned up.

Wings AND hands?

I am afraid that this is just an absolutely irreconcilable character design. I also think that you are a fool for even bringing this to our attention!

Nigga-please, it was always about reaching that point, and now we're finally there.

The game seems to be out finally. Certainly looks pretty.

 

[Spectacle]

Seems to be the media darling. $22 seems a bit steep for a 10-hour metroidvania indie though.

It's better value for money than $60 for a 5 hour AAA popamole shooter.
