Oh! This looks like an interesting one, with lots of pizazz at that going by the videos I managed to find from Googling. Though I sadly won't be able to play it for a good while, don't have any controllers and it's usually hit or miss whether or not you can play games like this with keyboards. Still, very interesting premise and quite colorful.

Fair enough, and understandable that there wasn't anything specific...Just something raw based upon general emotions and feelings at a given point. That's honestly sometimes how I end up being the most productive whenever I bother to write something, been writing private stories and some attempts at stuff like Fanfics when I'm at my most emotionally torrid. But I suppose the main reason I was curious was if you had any surviving version of those initial rough drawings, like I said I'm always a sucker for rediscovered or revealed media. Whether lost or never revealed in the first place so nobody knew about it, especially rough drafts or concept art.
There's just...Something about physical art, or very early beta/alpha designs, that just...Grab me, for lack of better term. The Art that is the video game medium at it's most raw and conceptual. Sorry if I'm not the most articulate right now, currently getting cooked by my local weather.
Wow!!! Wasn't expecting a reply from you but it's good to hear that my words found happy ears, honestly? Maybe someday you can explain more of the story behind this work, when or if it ever becomes comfortable. Like, that graphing rough sketch that in the background of this game page is really fascinating.
I've always been a sucker for draft or beta info or leftover bits and bobs, especially when it's quite the aesthetic such as this. It's rough & raw nature captivates me in a way I have trouble describing. But it's also a fascinating look into something born of the dark yet used in a way that's constructive.
I hope I'm making sense as a prattle along, it's a little late for me and I'm admittedly a little nervous talking to a game's creator like this.
Took my awhile to find the time to comment...But this game is beautiful. It's so visceral and raw, for lack of better terms. It comes from a place of angst and perhaps depression but you can feel every beat of soul put into it. And that's fine, in many ways though it come from a place that's dark does not mean it's not without merit in terms of art. I applaud you for sharing it with the world, rather than letting die on some hard drive...I've never really liked the idea of Lost Media. Especially in this digital age, but here you are...Releasing a game that no one besides maybe some close confidences would know about. It's legitimately inspiring, at least to me.
Now for the game itself...It's all in the details, how both sides cry when one loses a life or just is 'losing'. But also how after you 'win' your just left stabbing the other rabbit/bunny in the back for all of time until you inevitably close the program. But there's something I only noticed on accident when I had to leave my laptop, when I returned...The game was finished, the health bars were gone and I could no longer cause any input into the world that is the game. Instead, the two bunnies/rabbits were hugging...Content with each other. That discover, just emphasizes the nature of this game...So simple, yet effective.
That's pretty amazing!!! It's such a cool thing to realize, so many of the games quirks make quite a bit of sense as translations of the once Arcade Format to PC. This is a Port doing it's best, that's makes things all the better! I love Ports and the differences between iterations of a game. Stellar Stuff alienmelon, 👍
