- highly enjoyable and pleasantly polished to a reasonable degree, although the overlay graphics aren't entirely to my personal taste, and the music also feels jarringly modern for a context like this. the tunnel effects are beautiful in particular and definitely steal the show, but i'm a bit surprised about the lower resolution and precision of the raymarched(?) blobs and potential fields.

- I really don't understand what made teenage me thumb this down… The design is so on point it hurts to even think about. Everything about this is so clever, like, just an incredible amount of visual mileage drawn from the hardware to near perfectly serve a very specific visual style. In general there's just so many clever visual ideas here that you can stop and appreciate, like the way scenes are transitioned by clipping and blurring object silhouettes, gradually revealing them. One of the most perfect examples of just the right level of visual fidelity beautifully coming together to meet a particular aesthetic.
If I were granted am opportunity to go back and erase and earlier vote, this might be the top candidate. (The other one being Instant Zen… why does it keep happening with Synesthetics?) - isokadded on the 2023-04-17 14:25:43

The fact that this is not just head-and-shoulders but complete generations ahead of what the "average" is in the scene nowadays, and then Smash has to RATIONALIZE and DEFEND it is just beyond disheartening.

- you know what, this is great. i've always kinda lowkey liked Losso's quirky demos, and here we finally have the magnum opus. i don't think i'll be watching it much after the fact, but during the compo i felt there was absolutely nothing wrong with it (the fact that the 2D graphics are all nicely antialiased is all i could have asked for). just overall well put together :)
should it win? well that's for the audience to decide, and i'm not gonna let that affect my judgement of the content itself.
