Was this aesthetically the perfect degree of abstraction?
No, this is
>>12490723Yes. In many ways I think earthworm was TOO sophisticated for the masses. And they made the game too hard

>>12490783Everyone got filtered by Down the Tubes because you have to be careful and that's triggering to people who just want to go fast like Sonic.
>>12490827Now I'm triggered
>>12490827I beat it on a 3 day rental, so I wasn't filtered but I still think that level was unfair and badly designed. It was very obviously the kind of level developers would add just to try to keep kids from beating it in a single rental, witch they also failed at. The rest of the game is fine and not that hard.
>>12491950The first time I played it was similar, me and friends we rented it and we took turns going through. They all hated it which is the typical reaction I've seen over the years, but I always thought it was pretty fun playing with the physics.
>>12490723that art style has not aged well
>>12490783It looks incredible but it suffers from the typical western platformer problems such as jank hitboxes/hit detection and lack of good feedback when hitting enemies. Another example of this would be Genesis Aladdin
>>12493302>It looks incredible but it suffers from the typical western platformer problems such as jank hitboxes/hit detection and lack of good feedback when hitting enemiesof course they didn't skimp on the visuals while Japanese platformers usually have at best functional graphics. never mind the gameplay is meh, but it looks great.
