This is probably the best looking C64 game ever.

Check out Quod Init Exit II. Simpler art but runs in high resolution mode. Also Sam's Journey and the Sonic port. Modern C64 games look so much better than most older games.

I loaded the page and started watching the video immediately, wondering why I should care about it. Run of the mill platformer, seemed like graphics and animations were chosen for style reasons, like thousands of other games out there.

Frankly, I wasn't impressed.

It wasn't until I came back to the comments here until I found out it's a C64 game. Now I'm incredibly impressed. Mind blowing to me now. Holy cow.

You should see the port of Eye of the Beholder for C64/128 that shipped November 2022. It's unbelievable. (Worked on, off and on, across 16 years.)

I saw it. It is very impressive too.
