damn :D i <3 this one
nice trip! ;-)
A slight disappointment this time around. It's basically an incoherent effects collection with ugly/unfitting textures/2d gfx mixed with unremarkable music.
Oh, well, next one will be ace again, I'm sure. :)

Hey! You want me to have nightmares? This demo is scary. But it rulez definetely.
Nice fractal stuff, maybe not to the same standard as other Traction demos but I still like it, also found the music good too.
Enjoyed this little nightmare :)
It has some nice gfx and some cool effects. Some other effects could be much better.
It should have faster movements, imho.

You need to do either more or less drugs... I liked the demo though ;)
the effect in the screen shot was neat, as was the music. overall though, the majority of effects weren`t very interesting.
Very dull
nice fractal effect you got there !
some very nice effects
cool...best PC demo of the compo.
Really enjoyed this, although it could be better designwise. Music is ok and looks sweet, so thumbs up anyway.
I like Traction
What a great demo !
Beautiful demo. Sadly it "drowned" a little among the other releases.
Best Traction production. One of my favoritest in the compo. Sometimes I love simplicity in a nice way, here are presented several nice mathematical effects some of them with smooth lines in the usual Traction styles, some other great ideas and a beautifull Julia. Music, gfx and lyrics are great too!
Its pretty dull and messy put together. But the fractals and some of the effects is awsome. Good job
really likeable, even though very unfinished and partly incoherent.
traction is love.

Awesome Maze Craze
Awesome Maze Craze Love the musik
another great bp05 release.. indeed, i think a lot of really great stuff will be drowned this year. But this one gets my thumb of approval with added stiffness:
cool effect.
good code, but not as 'well-thought' as the other traction prods ( look like a quick best-of mode )
A bit sillisalaattia but i like it anyway.
the new shit.
not as good as traction, but still fucking excellent.
yay!!!
some of the 2d seemed abit out of place and preacher still notoriously needs to learn the zen of cool transitions but its still a quite decent demo, with a few couple impressive effects.
0wnz.
I don't care if it was your very worst effort. It still ranks up there. I liked it alot esp the gfx :)
I like demos that look like demos, and demos with lots of cool effects. This was both. There were a few less impressive scenes here and there (like the tunnel), but this still had more nice stuff in it than most of the other entries combined. Keep up the good work.
some nice things ( the fractal maze is one of them ) but some very average fx that make me feel sorry about this prod ( standard tunnel ..come on, that ruled in 1998
finally something special
has some cool things, but it looks unfinished.
I like other traction demoes better than this. (DeadBluePeople and I am for example).
preacher! nice fx, incoherent yes, but so were other entries ;P
nah, sorry. this is boring, incoherent and the style is very unfitting....
quite nice show, but unfortunately it lacks some design (like that tunnel :)
The tunnel was just excellent. Really nice to see people doing demos in this style.
Okay, needed a rewatch. was nice music, nice fx, nice gfx. it rules :)
mmm... nice effects
sadly dissapointing
Great effects, but design and transitions aren't as stiff as they maybe should've been. Still a fudging great one.
Fear the cubes
I very like all Traction demos. This si so good, but some scenes/parts sometimes do not fit together, and music also is a little dull and repetitive. But still thumb up for long demo with many good single designed scenes. Keep it up, traction boys.
and this was heavily underrated in the compo...
Amazing algorithms, uninspiring design.
that's ugly
Great 2D and nice mathematical effects. Yes, it does miss transitions or some sort of common element. Nice to see more drawings in demos.
really nice, fractals!
What a trip! Visually very nice, music was great and the whole package... I could watch it again and again and again...
loved the music and maths ! =]
definitely my kind a demo :)

i want to be a traction groupie!
oh and ehh omg wtf i didn't thumb this yet?? rular!!!

excellent! the music was a refreshing change from the norm with a spooky jazzy feel to it and the effects were nice. Best exploding geometry ever.
What more could one possibly want? Excellent music, good design, nice effects and the atmosphere is awesome. Absolutely worth watching. Traction <3
really enjoyed it especially the music
Greate music and nice images! Some visuals fx don't belong in the demo though
Nice code, great music!
great ideas... no good transitions between the parts. but the ideas are great , so two thumbs up! ;-)
Happened to watch this first time since Breakpoint and decided to open up my wordly chest (ha). I have somehow very mixed feelings about this demo. On the one hand it has some incredibly good parts - the maze cube has to be mentioned, as well always working mosaic structures and splined lines beauty. Then again lot of the material is recycled from old Traction productions and some parts look just too bad in comparison (like the -97'ish tunnel effects).
The music flows well, the spooky combination of the melody and silent drum'n'bass beats work well together. Then again it's not very memorable.
Still, I'd give a thumb up unless the direction wasn't so tacky. Perhaps you guys run out of time, but the transitions are somehow way off and sometimes I just wonder why something is there on the screen or why the change came in the middle of a musical phrase. Taking a look back to 'I Am', this is clearly a step backwards.
Not bad, but I know you can do better. Well, enough analytics for this Friday night - here's your piggie.

nice tune and unique mood. maze cube in official artificial brain color (cyan) is cool. also liked the mathematics behind.
I loved it...
same here!
burns like hell
excellent tune, lots of 2d gfx.
Sad that it fell victim to the sparetime-stress.
I gladly would watch it again with aggressive, music
fitting sync...but thumb granted already

Nice fresh stuff :) Good Music, Concept with lines and "puzzle effects" and cubes interesting. God comination of GFX, Effects in general. And the Final Scene with the yellow lines and the Butterfly was beautiful :)
griip, respect for the good music :)
one of the best demos ive ever seen (incuding toasted/cubic&seen!). simple and powerful. artwork rulez. code and music too. suprising, fresh. YOU'VE MADE FUCKING GOOD DEMO! no matter its 12th. especially enjoyable after intoxication. go that way traction, pleaasee !!!
really amazing
Nothing out of the ordinary, and the music annoys me. However, we all know Traction has stepped up since then, but I can only donate 1 schwein for this one.
What is so amazing about this? It's just lines and glow, same as almost all other Traction demos.
Far too over rated and boring.

That was nice!
for the first minute or so :)
Yeah! This is Traction on top, bestest music and I love this demo.
Should have ranked 3rd.

Music is good, particularly the start. And there should be more mazes in demos :)
for the first 4 minutes <3
and the for the music particularly!
and the for the music particularly!
Pretty much half of the visuals I really like, the other half I really dislike. Music isn't bad but it's quite stale. Length doesn't play in advance of it either.
A couple of really cool scenes, a few bad transitions and excellent music.
For some very fresh and original scenes, and for beautiful music.
Actually what melw said.
I do, however, like some of the 2D parts - but the billboard scene killed it for me in this one. What I was left with was: hey they're going back too the roots, and hmm didn't know they can do aggressive as well.
For the effort, and for delivering - a weak thumb.

There are a lot of scenes and effects but they are pretty unremarkable. That envmapped babyface though, it kicked ass! Kudos for that wonderful custom font.
