Notable quotes
“I would describe it as simple but effective, and the theme immersion was strong for the game.”
“I thought it was a massive improvement over paragon it had a lot of fun bits to it. It had some real interesting mechanics. The pop bumper that gives you negative score.”
“Of all the games I played, including all the new games we're going to talk about, this was the only game that really got my pulse up.”
“It is deeply, deeply involved with a lot of fun stuff going on... This is more than just throwing some stuff together in your garage type thing.”
“I don't want to play a prototype because my my worry is that it will leave a bad impression in my in my mind and it would bias me towards the final version”
“I'm a real big fan of black-and-white art packages in general... this being so black-and-white, and it's just a different drawing style, I actually aesthetically really, really enjoyed it.”
“The three inch flippers feel so weird to me on a game that's that's this feeling like this era like i want it to be two inch flippers”
“It's definitely going to wreck you. My desperation to keep control, the constant mental frustration of, okay, remember the outlanes are the inlanes and the inlanes are the outlanes.”
