That's the third game with amazing hand-drawn 2D animation that i recently learnt of, the other two being Blud and Cookie Cutter. Blud's a kinda beat-em-up adventure of a young girl fighting vampires, made largely by a very experienced animation studio, and Cookie Cutter is a sci-fi/cyberpunk metroidvania where the creator essentially put the culmination of his tastes in media, comic books, cartoons, music and the like into a playable form. Solid game and therés more planned! Either way: looking forward to what Mr. Goldman has to offer. This looks fantastic, let's hope the story and gameplay can deliver too.
Not only is that opening animation absolutely amazing but the character animations in-game are stellar as well. This is absolutely on my radar now, the art and animation is just too damn gorgeous.
Finally, people wished back in the arcade days that hardware would one day be good enough to run games with movie level animation. Now that we are in a age where average person in their room could make such a game, people are more focused on making games look like they came out in the arcade days. This game is exactly what I imagined games would look like one day with better hardware. Stuff like earth worm jim, xmen, disney tie in property games. This is what I imagined they would one day look like. Glad finally someone is doing it
I didn’t imagine it. I thought those days were good, but I think this is a step back for the industry. I would much rather appreciate a genuine contribution out of the new generation rather than a worship and rehash of what mine did.
Idk if an average person could do a game like this right here 🙈 it's like saying an average person could skateboard like tony hawk nowadays, just because social media only shows the great ones. This game clearly has some great animations that are handmade.
Be sure to look up Blud and Cookie Cutter as well, they were likewise animated with hand-drawn 2D. Blud's alright in terms of gameplay, it's the world, writing, characters and story that make it worth looking up. Cookie Cutter is much smoother as an actual game and interesting in setting too, though tends to be a bit out-there/divisive in terms of tone. But it doesn't purely treat itself as a joke either. It's the lead dev's proverbial baby and he is currently working on more, in story and gameplay alike. Plus, he regularly asks for criticism to try and make the game as technically solid as it can be. Let's spread word on all three of these games. Visuals like these deserve to be more known. (i'm looking forwards to Forgotlings too)
The art style and the animation are just gorgeous. Been a fan of 2D side-scrolling since Mario Bros, Ninja Gaiden and Contra on the NES. So glad it's still going strong in today's era of next generation of gaming
Dear. Freaking. LORD!! The Animation is Majestic! Is Smooth and Beautiful like a Chocolate River!! 😍 And there's soooo much Creative Creatures! It feels like a Playable Ghilbi Movie! Walt Disney, Richard Willians and Genddy Tartakosvsky would be Proud of You guys 🥹, This looks like a Masterpiece.
Love hand drawn games above everything else! Vaguely reminds me of a game I tested a couple years ago, Some Passerby. The art style was more stylized but also more realistic, if that makes sense. Felt like a gouache painting.
So apparently somebody played Cuphead and Hollow Knight, then watched a Don Bluth marathon before binge watching Scavengers Reign.... And I'm here for ALL of it!! P. S. Kinda bummed there's a release for Nintendo Switch and both Xbox consoles, but no PS4.
I want to support this game on principle. hand drawn animators and artists got thrown to the wayside because they had the audacity to unionize, not because hand drawn animation is outdated.
When the soundtrack kicks in at 0:54 it really reminds me of another game. I think it might be the Unicorn Overlord OST? Something with good use of strings, it sounds awesome!
Im very curious if this is gonna be a platformer or a metroidvania 🤔 i mean it can obviously be both or something different, but if it's a straight platformer its definitely something i'd be interested in. Not only is it gorgeois, i'm just deeply fascinated by the idea of playing as an old ass grandpa. That is really funny and cool to me
The art team genuinely popped off here. It looks great

Incredible!
Yeah, it looks awesome, and the art is very well done.
I think you meant to say that they genuinely did well here.
You sound about as an intelligent as an Israeli writing like that kid.

What animations? I need a telescope to see the character 😂

Look up Cookie Cutter too. Hits the Earthworm Jim notes along with many, *many* other inspirations.

I don't usually play this type of game, but the artwork and music sold me
Basic 2d Platformers? LOL
Looks absolutely bomb - can't imagine how much blood, sweat and tears those visuals took 🔥
PSYCHED for the release!

Saw this on an ad, and it was only ad I didn't skip, looks like a hidden gem, looking foward to this.
The presentation quality is top-notch; hopefully the gameplay will match.
That's the main question yes
The game could be the prettiest thing ever and still terrible if the gameplay was between boring and bad.
Сrazy level of animation
Not me reading 'The Eternal Life of Goddamn'.
Same 😂😂😂😂
did you hear? luckily Goldman is not a fffin HERO
Not only is the art direction absolutely amazing, but how about that banger of a soundtrack? This game is looking fabulous so far.
Now THIS is an original art direction. THANK YOU !
this looks fire! wishlisted instantly
Man, this looks fantastic, please don't rush this!
Wow. Best hand-drawn animation in a game ever, much? A rare day 1 buy for sure. 🙌
Getting a strong "What dreams may come" Vibe from this
The art style and the animation are just gorgeous. Been a fan of 2D side-scrolling since Mario Bros, Ninja Gaiden and Contra on the NES. So glad it's still going strong in today's era of next generation of gaming
Oh. My. God. Looks gorgeous guys!
Who said Duck Tales?!
Me
It was me
I got more of a DKC vibe at first but you ain't wrong
I felt it but it ain’t right…
Scrouge Mcduck: Finally! A worthy rival! Our battle will be legendary!

Is it just me or is this animation style reminding me of a mix of Cuphead and Rayman. Even still this is the kind of Cuphead game I want.
Cuphead, Rayman and Hollow Knight
DuckTales and Sonic too.
Until I saw the editor, I thought "hmm, this looks a lot like the "ubi-art engine" of the last Rayman, Child of Light and Valiant Hearts"
Looks absolutely fantastic!!
The animations though. Pure artistry.
Duck Tales meets Donkey Kong Country in Rayman Origins art style
LOL. Looks nothing like Rayman Origins.
Art work, animation , music and intuition all spot on!!
I am incredibly intrigued. The mechanics on display look very interesting. Assuming you can make everything work cohesively this could be amazing.
This might be one of the best animated games of all time. Right up there with earthworm jim, ori and the blind forest, and cuphead.
Looks like a spiritual successor to the ducktales games.
This needs more views! and I used to think something like warioland shake it animation was good, but god damn, im so picking this up now for my switch
video game industry is healing ❤

THIS IS INSANE! I'm looking forward to this!
Stunning!!! 😱

1:22 Dead Space moment.
This is taking the Metroidvania to the next level!
A action platformer where you plan an old man? Nice!
Whoah, thanks for recommending this for me TH-cam! 😮😮😮
Digital preorder soon ❤
I cannot stress enough how great this game looks, definitely getting it when available.
That THEME song DUUUUDE
My GOODNESS. This looks so creative. Can’t wait to play it!
The expressive faces are the single funniest and coolest thing in this videogame.
What the wuh -? But this didn’t need to go so hard, though! Now THAT is how you make a game trailer.
So hyped for this
Mesmerizing ❤❤❤
Looks absolutely spectacular. Now please please PLEASE BE A METROIDVANIA!❤
Duck Tales, but gorgeous. Looking awesome
Looks amazing in artwork, story and gameplay
The animation is sooooo smoooooooooth!
Now this looks so DOPE!!!
Animation is amazing. Got me feeling nostalgic.
The art and animation look insane!
I’ll be there when the game releases. ❤
Damn that is look wild! Hype!!!
From a Scale of 0 to 10 of AWESOMENESS, Animation and Creativity, What score did You gave?
Me: 1..... BILLION.
I want to support this game on principle. hand drawn animators and artists got thrown to the wayside because they had the audacity to unionize, not because hand drawn animation is outdated.
Wow, the character art looks great!
Animation looks fantastic. Only gripe is how far zoomed out it is. Feel like it’ll have to be played on a 77+ inch screen just to see all the action.
Hope it's a metroidvania, the game looks really good
When the soundtrack kicks in at 0:54 it really reminds me of another game. I think it might be the Unicorn Overlord OST? Something with good use of strings, it sounds awesome!
Holy crap this put such a big smile on my face!
Superb!
Bad ass animation
Precious
Woah.👍👍👍👍
Looks hella good.
I don't know about the gameplay but the artstyle and animations look insanely good
👏👏👏
Best looking platformer I've seen in a long time
Can't wait
What a beautiful game. Looking forward to it!
Wishlisted! Definitely getting this when it comes out.
This game already looks so EPIC! but wtf is that old grandpa doing in it?
Looks so beautiful
Reminds me of seeing Cuphead for the first time, where the art instantly grabbed me but the gameplay also looked to be top tier.
Looks great!
It looks like Treasure Planet + Studio Ghibli as a game, and I am SO DOWN.
Either that's some impressively convincing CGI or someone spent a long time animating all that traditionally! o.o
Ok, this look quite fantastic.
Please also have good gameplay!
THIS LOOKS INCREDIBLE!
this is a must play imo!!
Well this put a big stupid smile on my face
Please know i usually instantly click off anything platformer....but this trailer sucked me in so hard, i am buying it day 1. I must play this!!!
Crazy trailer
Surely this game only goes for a couple of hours the art style is just too good for it to go on for 10+ hours
OMG looks amazing 😍
Wow. Just Wow!
If Hollow Knight was made by Miyazaki.
Looking forward to it 💪
Wow this looks so dope. Can't wait to buy it on switch 🙌🏽
Grandpa lore!!!!
THQ sure came a long way since the '90s

This looks fire 🔥
Excellent Metroidvania 😮🔥
Wow :)
I have no idea what’s going on but I dig it
Okay, so, Cuphead had a child with Donkey Kong Country, and that child grew up watching The Owl House.
Looks stunning!
Luz pfp checks out xd
and the creature designs do give me Owl House vibes :D
@@willo90li YOU CANNOT ESCAPE THIS SHOW ONCE YOUVE SEEN IT
This looks incredible ❤
Woaw S-tier animations !
