A really awesome piece of a demo made just from the right ingredients: great effects, awesome music and quality graphics.
However, the design seems a bit inconsistent and turbulent to me, like there wasn't too much thought invested in making a straight connection from point A to point B. Might be I'm mistaking and the design was seriously discussed, but personally I missed some more direction, a harder unison on this field.

Anyhow, just as I said, it's an outstanding work! Congratulations!

First C64 demo in a long-long time that I find interesting. The thematics and visuals are really appealing to me. Even the music is not the horrible generic SID tune that I grew to dislike so much.

So refreshing amidst all the usual chore provided by most C64 demos that I am giving it a 9/10.

@all - thanks for the opinion
@Conjuror - We don't have any sprite filler effect
@Madhead - We didn't fit in one side :)
@Brush - music is timed to the demo. I waiting for Elysium demo.
@HCL - I agree

Now, this is a very original & outstanding demo and I've only voted 9 instead of 10 because I want Zielok & the team to do another one - real fuc*in top 10! :) I know he can afford it. HCL, be aware ;) X'2012!

great!

excellent graphics and design, especially the stuff from the screenshot. combined with the fab soundtrack(!) and great code, it makes an awesome demo. only minor gripe is using the best X rotator first, I wouldve swapped it with the last one ;)

for sure a big improvement over Portal, congrats with first place!

Great X rotators (especially the 1st one), gfx and music , nice design. Well done guys!

Booker, might be because on the silesia party page you can directly download only the 1st file.

Splendid work!

I can judge the code by the visual effect only, so rotators are to me purely awesome. Not to mention those fast like hell, colourful, and giving the 3D feeling "things" :). The one downside on effect I could say is the 1920 plots part, where the pot movement isn't very amusing so I hope Zielok will bring some new shapes next time. Probably 1920 plot 3D stuff?

The graphics are stunning, though I'm not a big fan of coloured converted photos, however the hand drawn Polish "Neptun" monitors would probably look better photographed and then hand-coloured, but that's just me.

The tune is pleasant, well timed and clearly Psycho8580 is bringing freshness to his already well known and polished style.

All in all guys, BIG congrats!

What HCL said, the x-rotators a bit overshadow the rest of this awesome demo. Still it's an awesome production, almost all flaws of Portal were corrected in it.

Very good demo, but perhaps too many x-rotators. Nice gfx and transitions.
User Comment
Submitted by Brush on 25 October 2011
Nice gfx in this one. And smooth transitions. Code-wise i had appetite for more after Portal :) The music also fits nicely (was it timed to the demo or the other way around?) Also having my own group greeted again in a demo after so many years brings good feelings :)

Zielok, you are a genius! Thank you so much for saving the demo compo in Polish scene!

Psycho8580, it was so nice to see you again, and I'm so sorry to miss out on hearing your awesome work in this demo live! ;)

Sebaloz/Carrion/Joodas, great graphics as always! Especially in the greetings part!

Great demo! Loved the evolution of the sprite filler effect, the smoothing of the char effects and the graphic transitions were awesome. Topped off with great graphics and music.
