OK, the "everything is made of a million dots" rendering style is pretty neat. I don't think I've seen its kind before. I also like that it somehow ran perfectly on my phone.

IMO interactive in-world music peaked with Portal 2, the effort put into that was impressive.

I think I agree on Portal 2! Honestly, the rendering style may have been an unnecessary challenge. It was way harder to implement than I thought and caused me to almost abandon the whole thing.

isn't the "everything is made of dots" the definition of pointillism?

well it’s definitely inspired by pointillism, but they’re doing things like scaling the dots based on depth etc
