Yo, HOW did I miss this?! This fucks so incredibly hard!!

[@anotherYTPMVer]

thank you so much Chuck! \m/

[@S_For_Sprinkles]

Never seen anyone use the Hylics sprites and sfx for something like this, its really creative! Absolutely a big fan of the transition to Hylics 1 visuals and sfx at the end, real good stuff!

[@AMentalFailure]

This video is only 2 minutes long, but the visuals and the amazing sounds make it feel like it's longer. It's the same feeling I had when I was a kid, and any video that was over 10 minutes long was like a movie. It's nice to have this feeling again, I like it. Thank you for making this.

[@waterPsychiatrist]

My senses have been stimulated

[@LNGS]

this games artstyle makes for some very interesting ytpmv visuals, your audio matches the vibe so much lol

[@jupy1]

This old school website vibe is a blessing. I love the visuals so much, especially the part at 1:20

[@Pimploaf_YTP]

1:36 is so wonderful

[@TriforceOfDiarrhea]

fuuuuuuuck the section at 1:20 is such a good but simple visual concept Your videos always have a sense of cohesion that few can replicate

[@blipdrifter]

glad to know you've still got it after all these years ♥

[@WIFWLIVE]

god this is very well done how the hell does this have only 8k views?!?!?!

[@RussianRatigan]

THAT'S ART!! 🤘🤘🤘💥💥💥💚💚💚

[@Amphibizzy]

NUTS. crazy good. the hylics 1 section and how u used the wayne sprite there is my favorite

[@lesliemccarthy7357]

woo hoo!!!!!!

[@RAZORCOCACOLA]

I have never seen anyone create a Hylics videos using the sprites and(except HAPPY),its AMAZING!!

[@nuclearprotocol]

I always appreciate the niche but beautifully crafted videos, and this is one of them. The sound's smooth and works well with the material 100/10😮

[@pot_dot]

this rocks

[@rjsmangitruns]

This rules!

[@LegitL3mon]

So good!

[@skye4]

This is super creative

[@Dzz696]

Timeless classic, fucking brilliant

[@mtt23]

literally watching this at least once daily, this is incredible

[@🈹]

inspirational, as you always have been :')

[@thesupremegamer]

you are one of the few people who genuinely stuns me everytime you upload. such stylish visuals paired with a sort of weird yet unique style of audio with masterful execution. pls never stop doin what you do

[@Torjuz]

So glad to see this out, the visuals for this is actually insane. You are definitely still transcending YTPMV and creating your own subgenre, and I am all for it still

[@Xarlable]

this is fucking insane lmao great stuff

[@Brassrain0su]

back in the day, probably like 10+ years ago when people like bigbowsa would drop some ytpmv shitposts with intentionally lazy quality to them and pretty much exclusively funny to inside jokers i would get mad and treat ytpmv like an art that they tarnished while the whole tarnishing thing was wrong, and as an adult now i understand that, i'm glad i was right about it being an art form and your videos time and time again are just examples of artistry that it can be

[@anotherYTPMVer]

the beauty of YTP is that so many different styles and sense of taste, humour and expression can fit under one umbrella. I think people tend to go through phases of feeling similar to how you did in the past (I certainly can relate to such a mindset), but it's best to cultivate an appreciation for all kinds of videos. after all, we're here to have fun!

[@TartifletteMV]

Somsnosa my beloved

[@Claymarrows]

Peace and love on this hylemxylem...

[@HonestCatfish]

never expected a ytpmv of surfing on a sine wave with Hylics. awesome!

[@mrduxu]

EPIC

[@PizzaCasablancas]

honestly the best video with this song

[@ducktales1113]

This hits a tranquil beauty I haven't experienced in a while. That end portion was pure art. I hope you continue and I wish you the very best.

[@anotherYTPMVer]

🤍

[@cannonballking7]

Now this is something special alright, a wonderfully weird piece of music to recreate through a wonderfully weird games soundscape. A YTP is much like clay, as the form is warped and molded into something new, only to be broken down and restructured once more in a different style, yet the core structure stays the same. Keep up the lovely work, and have a great day.

[@anotherYTPMVer]

very well said regarding YTP being similar to clay -- the most creatively inspiring videos I've seen have truly re-molded and re-formed their source materials into something new and strange. thank you for the kind words!

[@thatrandomguywill]

This is so Cosmic and I love it so much!

[@lime_tuna]

every time i think you've hit your peak you outdo yourself

[@Dozzyrok_]

Your videos are always so buttery smooth

[@emilianoaventura5295]

So cool... I really love Hylics visuals, and seeing an AMV be made with them it's really nice. I also loved the Hylics 1 part, didn't expect it and was a nice surprise...

[@avillahanya]

i am totally stoked to see this video.

[@Merapsco]

Epic

[@emm2893]

making percussion with slapping and flicking the switch sent me, amazing

[@Calico_Kara]

im an absolute sucker for when the video turned into 4:3 to match Hylics 1, amazing video ♥

[@overdosed3002]

I love this!

[@DaMojoCat]

Yo this is amazing work, and it's really fun to watch!

[@bloominpingas]

very fun video, really enjoyed this

[@ijosuwi]

love

[@Alel_]

I have no words to describe this masterpiece! I think this is the best mv ever done on this song so far. Very artistic visuals, you are talented my friend!

[@inanestereo]

Oh that was just beautiful

[@mosasadogs]

someone is on a roll with videos, banger after banger everything from the visuals and audio are really spot on with how the game is!

[@ytp4lifetds]

Oh my god how did I mis this gem???

[@IndigenousBonnet]

Such a noble video. So utterly unique and clean

[@TeamSoSWoW]

I had no opinion on this game before, but Wayne would be so happy if he reacts to a MV of yours (late comment). ;^) - GᴀʙʀɪΛɴTCƎ

[@oxonexo]

amazing vid once again, love your creativity

[@wayneistired2306]

This is amazing!! You used everything so perfectly.

[@ClaraDigifu]

This is gonna be a standard for years to come

[@Arados683]

These stop motion visual are so good! One of the most creative vids I've seen in this year

[@PhilipJFryII]

Words can not describe how surreal this is

[@tealtone]

Very awesome video, I really adore the visuals

[@ovengoats]

this is easily a new favorite i love this so much i watch it forever maybe

[@xykaeytpmv]

oh my god, this is awesome. your creativity is through the roof

[@Woobyuu]

this transcends ytpmv, keep on doin ur thing, love it!

[@CatboyGenius]

Whoa some Fearofdark hell yeah! This sounds amazing as always, definitely gonna be listening to this on loop for a while.

[@Renat_Sultanbekov]

this video, I think, is better than the original, and it sounds as if a more sonorous and soft-sounding synthesizer was used for them. oh lord, that's so beautiful ☺☺☺

[@Clop]

this is so unique. genuinely amazing stuff

[@IStandForTJandTAW]

I loved the hylics 1 section at the end, crazy how * everything * syncs with the music in that section. (How'd you get the sprites out so clean for hylics 2?)

[@anotherYTPMVer]

some asset snooping, plus rendering and re-rendering with chroma keys to avoid .avi transparency (which never seems to work)

[@LostBetAisle1]

wow this one's nuts, great work!

[@strggarchive]

you’re this generations star98er

[@anotherYTPMVer]

we're a whole generation apart... i must be getting old!
