- dvh 12y agoIf Arkanoid and Pong had a baby, this would be it.
- dec0dedab0de 12y agoI would have said breakout, and pong.
- alexk7 12y agoYup. Breakout 1976. Arkanoid 1986.
- jessaustin 12y agoIMHO breakout is descended from pong itself; different goal but same play mechanics. While pong was two-player, this game seems to evoke more the two-player mode of tetris, since defeat isn't sudden but gradually builds up over time. (...perhaps this makes defeat more agonizing and victory more pleasing?)
- matt_morgan 12y agoBrilliant advertising.
- jessaustin 12y agoYeah that is a great clip, and an intriguing idea. Also, by running it through the old-timey filter, they don't have to have their "look" complete. (Unless the look really is this Thomas Edison thing, which would be weird but OK I guess.)
- nightpool 12y agoFrom the other videos (this testing one, for example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ihe6xf7reAo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ihe6xf7reAo) it seems like this is actually how gameplay looks. (personally I think its a pretty cool style)
- ArekDymalski 12y agoAnd brilliant idea for the game too.
- hiperlink 12y agoSo what we mean by designer? 0h h1 is a rip off/redesign of some older game (as it is mentioned in the game's About section).
