an incredible work dedicated to the artist. thank you for creating this.
this was really cool
thanks!
Thank you for great example translation of art media into games media!
Also can you maybe help me out with one question: how did you make effect of rising hills on left and right borders while moving at x-axis? Parallax?
The elements in that scene go up and down based on the distance with the player.
Thanks for playing!
Thank you !
thank you for playing :)
It has such fantastically realized game spaces. I loved the soundtrack and the visuals. The use of billboard sprites and how everything moves around is so fascinating.
Thank you! It was fun using techniques I had never used before and trying to achieve something different with each level.
Can't wait to experience this!
