so many songs. new note type. bespoke visuals.
maybe it's easier if we just show you....
i directed this 1.0 announcement trailer for rhythm doctor; you will notice the word i did not use is "edit," and the reason for that is that the thing i say at the start of this trailer is 100% true (i mean. of course it is, imagine how brazen it would be if it wasn't)

09.09.2025 02:56 โ ๐ 5 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0รoo is now an example of all of this at once.... you dont need flashy visuals to sell, pixel art [OR PUZZLE PLATFORMERS] is not outdated, and you dont have to explore a concept to its fullest
08.09.2025 05:47 โ ๐ 4 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0I think Mario games etc still do that, so its really refreshing to experience games that move away from it like รoo! It's like playfulness in a new dimension. I'm vague here to not spoil it but I really recommend it. when you play you will be like 'oooooooooooo

its totally not how i would have designed levels for the bomb mechanic if you asked me to make a game based on it. in e.g. ADOFAI you explore the rhythm/shapes mechanic, expand it to every interesting geometry combination you can think of, add VFX/story to taste, and serve (oversimplification abit)

โโEarlier you mentioned Downwell. Are there any other games that influenced you? I'm heavily inspired by indie games that shatter conventional wisdom. For example, the action game VVVVVV and the puzzle game Baba Is You shattered the notion that games need flashy visuals to sell or be fun. The 2D action-adventure HyperLight Drifter shattered the notion that pixel art is outdated. Also, the action game โFEZโ developed by Canada's Polytron Corporation, with its signature perspective-switching mechanic, freed me from the fixed notion that a concept must be exploited to its fullest. Translated with DeepL.com (free version)
its been a while since i finished a game, but i'm really glad i took the time to play รoo. I knew it would be incredible since Elechead was too, but i didnt expect it to be incredible in this particular way
Some time ago i saw an interview from NamaTakahashi
If anyone wants the bundle but cant afford it, let me know! i'll buy for the first 10 who ask (later on the weekend)
