Once again Serato shows off what he got upon his sleeve.

Pity they didn't take the time to make it a proper demo and not just hot-link the prototypes.

so many cool things in here:

- great clipped line vectors
- the moving light source is awesome
- that techtech is really really wide!
- the ultra smooth dypp is amazing (also cool vsp picture by pal)
- cool rotozoomer

and as always a lot of really good pixels and fonts by pal!

in general the pacing is a little slow and there are some hard cuts. but there is plenty of interesting code here to muse over.

what it has:
- stunning, with a capital S, effects
- beautiful pictures
- great second part of the soundtrack (by Rock i assume?)

what it lacks:
- direction

I'm not surprised it's coders' favourite ;) FG are currently unquestionable leaders of 'WTF how did they do it' routines! <3

Some really nice ideas in this one. lovely graphics by Pal, which takes it to the desired level. He even did a crab!!
Music on the other hand makes it feel like yester-years. But in a good way after all. Allowing one to stand by a bit and calm down.

When i was watching this demo during stream i didn't liked it much (i was too sleepy i guess). But now when i watched them all deeply, i must say it deserves much higher place.

The antialiased dypp is so smooth! It is unbelivable! I guess that will be the standard now other will try to mimick. Plus there are many other top notch effects, complimented by great art and music. LOVE IT!

Gold indeed! It would have deserved a podium spot, in my opinion.

Damn fine effects on this one. 3d was smooth, DYPP was even smoother. The wave fade in on the fish completely fooled me.

It was my favorite when watching the compo, should've been higher ranked imho. Lots of clever tricks in there to ponder about. I think I half understood the waving bitmap, with mid gfx small vsp and clever bitmap distribution. Very cool!

Ah, the colourful mover is in ECM mode. During the demoshow I couldn't see exactly what was shown. The charset is beneath $d000-$d7ff.

Also very clever hiding of the move-one-down problem by bouncing that fish picture underneath the DYPP..

During the compo, someone said the DYPP was interpolated or antialiased, but did they mean increased resolution by making it move at half pixels? That is what it looks like to me seeing it on my own computer. Is that what's going on? It looks sooo smooth.

Also, during the compo I would have sworn the upscroller at the end was in half resolution as well, but that one isn't..
