IT'S CLOBBERIN' TIME!
The "aesthetic" thing is too played out. Game looks playable at least.

Can't wait to play it a couple years down the road when it's part of a Humble Bundle

It has above-average presentation, and while it is a bit :rolleyes: at times I don't dislike it the same way I did Blood Dragon or Kung Fury... but the gameplay didn't look engaging. Sorry OP.

Yeah, it looks fun but it's using those low-detail "retro" sprites that were all the rage a few years ago. Rest of the art looks pretty cool.

Ooh this looks like a massive step up from the first one. Deceased user Fluo (RIP) used to play the first one, and when he passed a bunch of GoonTube folk bought the game to try it out.

Another game with a really unique aesthetic I'm watching is called overpass. The concept is "what if 'staring out of the window on a road trip and pretending what you were driving past was a video game' WAS a video game"

https://youtu.be/YT9o5XVHSws


All I've seen on this game is this one tweet literally just now but it also looks and sounds pretty crazy

I enjoyed Hyperlight Drifter. Its only failing was that it was too short and also that the main character didn't have big knockers.

Idk about video games but I've been listening to a lot of retrowave/outrun/whatever lately and it is pretty dope. I was born in 1990 and my family isn't from the USA so I don't give two craps about 80s nostalgia either. It just sounds good.

You follow the path

Yours to manipulate, to destroy and rebuild.

Now, in the quantum moment
before the closure
when all become one.

One moment left.
One point of space and time.

I know who you are.

You are Destiny.

Hey AW I get what you’re throwing out there, and am feeling the spirit! I shall spread the hype to my non-cynical and broken friends who can just appreciate a game for what it is and not hope it fails, and not hope that the fan base suffers.

I still believe. When they showed it at last year's Fantastic Arcade he said it was coming along a lot more but they're running into an issue of the last bit being the actual hard part.

Capy just pushed out the OK KO tie in game they were making so now that they've pleased their Cartoon Network masters they can put everyone on below or something who knows.

When a game looks this good and has a rockin’ soundtrack I don’t need that much gameplay.

TBH I would be content to watch a full-length feature film featuring pixel graphics and synthwave music.
