The Big Catch | Kickstarter Trailer

[@Minty_Meeo]

Friendship ended with low-poly. Now medium-poly is my best friend.

[@tsunertoo9149]

Where my ape escape dang it!

[@thejetparadox]

Yea we need some 6 gen experience here

[@Motwera]

While I have been a fan of the new PSX/N64 styled games, I have never seen one that quite captures the vibe and also is a 3D platformer quite like this one, I cannot wait to see more of it!

[@conlinmckay1742]

I know. If you went back in time and said this was a PS2 game people would believe you.

[@Motwera]

@@conlinmckay1742 indeed

[@grunner7557]

​@@conlinmckay1742 What really sells it for me is that it has that it has that PSX/N64 roughness to it. Where so many games in this style fall flat for me is that they'll nail that low-poly look, but the textures and models will just look too smooth and polished. Whereas here they've fully embraced the roughness from the visuals to the music.

[@SketchHusk]

Yeah same.

[@user-vi4xy1jw7e]

Must not see a whole lot then.

[@zeze7022]

So it’s going to be Ape Escape but with fish and Yo Noid! 2 movement mechanics, and the protag is Klonoa with a bucket hat? Sign me the hell up.

[@CrackerNDaisyAnimations]

Oh heck, yes my dude

[@ryanhernandez1877]

Who's Klonoa????

[@CrackerNDaisyAnimations]

[@Revtrosity]

Such fun movement, charming OST, nostalgic visuals. Man this is hitting all the right spots for an old-school platforming fan like me!

[@powermind8805]

hello Rev.

[@whispersnow]

god.. i just keep watching this trailer over and over..... i did NOT expect a project THIS cool to just drop on us this random thursday afternoon, but i'm so glad it did....... i can already tell that there's a ridiculous amount of talent and passion just on this two-person team, and i hope that they're able to reel in even more talent through the funding from this kickstarter (which, i backed faster than i've ever backed a kickstarter before lol...) seriously though, i don't think i've ever seen an indie game trailer that so confidently communicates "we know what we're doing". i can tell these guys had a vision and refined it down to a point.... i am REALLY looking forward to this...... and if the attention from twitter and kickstarter so far from less than one day is any indication, i have no doubt that this project will see all the success it deserves......... harrison and quade, if you're reading this, AMAZING work so far and best of luck with the rest of development!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@aggromango534]

I hope this succeeds aswell! I love this!

[@lavenchie2629]

Feeling nostalgic for a game that hasn't even come out yet. Looking super clean.

[@gnbman]

This is what Big the Cat in Sonic Adventure should have been.

[@obelisk398]

chrono trigger reference with the seagulls is on point

[@JoseAlberto-dh8pf]

I love the melancholic music so much, the instrumentation feels more like it belongs in a ps1 or wii jrpg, its beautiful and unique to a 3d platformer

[@Racc_Oon]

definitely has ps2/wii vibes

[@TriggerCrazedLunatic]

This just has the vibe of some old y2k era 3d platformer that got buried by all of its contemporaries when it came out then got a critical re-evaluation like 20 years later with people realizing it was kinda the best of the bunch. I'm excited for this game in a way I haven't been for any other game and I'm very excited to see where it goes!

[@VertebralGiant]

Just pledged, the entire look and sound of the game is dripping with style. I especially love the 3d animated logo. Praying you get fully funded!

[@ollygons]

can’t stress enough how good this looks…not just in terms of gameplay / visuals but also how rock solid the concept is. having the fishing rod be the main form of attack and traversal is genius and i bet it was really satisfying to build a whole world and story from that. really looking forward to the full release :)

[@ChaloopaJoe]

1:12 for some reason....the animation, the dialogue box design, the fuzziness of the screen....this right here gives me the EXACT vibe of PSX/early GameCube that I'm SO NOSTALGIC for. I'm beyond hyped for this.

[@Kaptime]

You can just instantly tell that there is something special here and that speedrunners are going to have a hell of a time.

[@cyd_hunter99]

I downloaded the demo last night and instantly fell in love. You guys understand these visuals on a deeper level than simply some aesthetic choice. I see the passion in all the little design choices you make, it's amazing. I'm not really liquid enough to buy it now, but be sure I plan to support not just your game but your studio every step of the way. Hell, just playing it made me want to stop hesitating and go join a game jam or something.

[@theuhhjone]

Saw this while browsing and thought it was just another Klonoa game. I am honestly stunned with the effort in this trailer; I hope you guys manage to create a series of this! You're doing great things! Hope to buy a physical version of the soundtrack when this game (hopefully) releases!

[@jaeko]

I didn't know I needed this, it looks outstanding. I'm a big fan of the creativity behind the character design, it feels fresh and unique yet nostalgic, but in a contemporary way. Hats off.

[@ThaddeusSilva]

This is so unfathomably polished in every way possible! The music, visuals, animations, environments, sounds, it's all so perfect!

[@r.p.7174]

This looks like an incredible combination of my favorite mechanics from all of my favorite 3D platformers! Sonic-style grind rails, the Sly spire jump, Ninja Gaiden/Prince of Persia-style wall running , momentum mechanics you can use to launch yourself, an attack you can use while still moving, this looks like a masterpiece! It's like you peered into my brain and made my ideal game!

[@TurtleBoy-v9x]

This is the most visually and audibly pleasing game I’ve seen all year, and this is just the trailer!

[@ATOMICGOPHAH13]

this level of polish, finesse, execution, whatever word you wanna use is ridiculous for just two people. never backed a game faster. never even backed a game. really awe inspiring trailer

[@kindaketrah5160]

The smoothness man… like this reminds me so much of Klonoa 2: Lunatea’s Veil from the characters to the music and there is not higher praise I can give for a platformer. Dear god I can’t wait to see this come out ;w;

[@mpo48]

klonoa 3 baybeeeeeee

[@SC_3]

They only say 'morning'. Because if it were a good morning, they'd be fishin'!

[@kiddbusiness]

NOW THIS is what im talking about! Great fluid animation, amazing character design, smooth buttery and fluid seamless parkour, a sense of mystery that comes with that PS1/PS2 style, AND to top it all off, an original and appealing cast of characters that are already eye-catching!!! This is gonna be good, heck yeah I'm backing this!! And let's not forget the music in this trailer, gave me French music type vibes with a little extra razzle dazzle *chef's kiss*

[@CEGYLE_FR]

Signalis, Lunistice, A Short Hike, and now The Big Catch, the new era of Pixel Art is now!! I'm really happy! For me, the graphics reminds me first generation of NDS 3D style.

[@ikagura]

Don't forget about Ex-Zodiac.

[@CEGYLE_FR]

@@ikagura what!! I didn't have playing this game! Thanks for this recommandation!

[@ireallydontknowifiamhonest]

Already sold me on the Artstyle Alone, the Movement looks so buttery, goddamn

[@gavvstheworld]

i haven't been hard sold on a game in years, this looks incredible and I look forward to your guys' success!

[@spaceace9103]

I loved Yo Noid 2 cant wait to see how this turns out.

[@aaron_exe6449]

same here, I cannot believe the devs that did yo noid 2 also did this

[@junkmail103]

I seriously can't get over this trailer and how well it has nailed the era and genre. Immediately gone up to the top of my steam wish list. Can't wait to see more of this project.

[@LAZY-RUBY]

I haven't been this excited for a platformer since A Hat In Time.

[@aomregcik]

seriously brought tears to my eyes. beauty

[@Cotygeek]

That music is wonderful.

[@matfelados9609]

The music, the whole world, the character design, EVEN JUST THE LOGO! This is really something I'm hoping to see grow and want to see how will come at the end of it's development! God it almost made me have some tears of remembering good memories, I'm really looking forward to you guys!

[@MrRukrio1]

this game has so much goddamn charm up front, i had to signalboost this to my pals. it's like the the era of mascot platformers never left.

[@theguffbin]

Kicking myself for missing the kickstarter like IT LOOKS INCREDIBLE AAAA Best of luck to the team, I'm here for whatever y'all are cooking :D

[@-tweeomoz-1786]

DAMN this game looks good. Haven't been this excited for a game in years

[@Drewgonzo11]

This is the game that will save us all

[@MegasparkX5]

This game is so fantastic! I really love the visuals.

[@frankieking3133]

It’s like if Wii games and ps2 games were mashed together to create this one stunningly animated game.

[@aviv601]

this is phenomenal the music the movement the style cant believe I didn't know about this game just came across it by chance and glad I did!

[@The41550]

the game and music somehow made me nostalgic for a game i never played! i got a gut feeling you guys are gonna be the next big thing, so prepare yourselves for a rollercoaster!

[@hewwix]

this is now one of my most anticipated games ever, i can already tell it'll be a Big Hit, just love everything about it, from character design, to music, and GAMEPLAY + visuals WHICH LOOKS AMAZINGLY SMOOTH, this is going to be a sight to behold, wishing the best to the dev team, i am stunned.

[@choccocker]

There is no way to say how much I furiously adore this.

[@spzi_]

This looks absolutely stunning!! I'm definitely going to support this, wow

[@ChromaSoul]

I can't tell yall enough how incredible this looks, sounds, feels... Easily could be a PS1 or N64 game. I cannot wait to play this!

[@SvensPron]

This game somehow looks like it's both from the PS1 and the PS2 simultaneously, and I absolutely adore it

[@Nathaniel2Leinahtan1]

Okay Guys, you have a really good aesthetic here. Whatever you do, DON'T add any more polygons. This can be good, I want this good, you can make this good. Just Stay Focused on the dream here guys. Here's $30

[@aliwenlemunir3596]

The animation work is fantastic! and the aesthetic is beautiful, nailed the true retro look perfectly!

[@bob-so2oy]

The trailer alone makes me feel nostalgic as if I already played this game when I was a kid I am so looking forward to this game once it comes out

[@nehgamingyt8537]

I can feel this being a good creative indie game like pizza tower

[@aa-js2fq]

PS1 is the first console for me to play game. I was like 5 years old. I play multiple game. The nostalgic music, aesthetic, low fidelity polygon graphic, all of them speak to my soul and the comfortableness brought by this trailer is something that other modern games don"t offer, I want more these types of game. The better fidelity of graphic in modern games is also my favorite, but most modern games don"t have their unique artstyle that differentialize themselves from others.

[@yoshi18super]

Looks incredible, shocked that I have only just discovered this game

[@MrDanishes]

This looks absolutely incredible! Captures a very specific vibe for me that I haven’t had with a game for a very long time

[@PS1APE]

Looks absolutely incredible, already backed it. Good luck with development!

[@starpetalarts6668]

Cool Idea with the fishing pole to swing around. Hope to see sometime the same gimmick but the ability to attach everywhere like Spider-Man games.

[@JonathanDoe]

This looks amazing. Feels like I already played it as a kid, that's how much of a classic it already looks like! This is easily my most anticipated title for next year!

[@ElJorro]

Interesting how things we once considered flaws are now artistic choices?

[@ikagura]

Flaw? Back then it wasn't. I'd say more like limitation brought creativity.

[@RaoulWB]

the style and feel are simply incredible. Best of luck!!

[@ikagura]

Finally: Umihara Kawase and Klonoa 3D are a thing.

[@DingusJoe64]

This is being made by the same people who made Yo Noid 2 BTW. From a genuinely fun and entertaining shitpost game to this. Holy crap! this looks great. If this game is even a fraction as good as YN2 then I'm sold.

[@DingusJoe64]

Music is absolutely beautiful as well. Can't wait to get my hands on it!

[@MINI_91]

This looks like a PS1 game with the gameplay mechanics and framerate of a PS2 game. Literally a perfect blend. I'm gonna buy this.

[@onedrrgames]

Love how super creative this premise is! 🎣🐟 Looks super fun!

[@ChocoIncognito]

Simulated interlaced video? Holy moly I never thought I would be excited about that being a feature

[@JohnTendo175]

Now, that's close! and I really want to play. I'm waiting for the game, I wish you all the best filet group!

[@DaVince21]

I'm in love with the music.

[@DoctorMario606]

This is up there with A Hat in Time with levels in hype

[@mr.unfinished174]

this feels like playing every 90’s-2000’s 3d game in one, especially with the ps2 style of graphics and polygons

[@CrystalFissure]

This looks phenomenal.

[@Kbryce]

dude please we need more amazing games like this, that just oozes personality, also bring back the ps1 aesthetic, so beautiful fr fr

[@thelonemask]

This game looks like a cross between Sly Cooper and Ape Escape. And I am all for it.

[@ninjapanda1018]

The animations are really smooth for a ps1 styled game. Love the style and the gameplay footage!

[@nihil7401]

Yes yes yes yes yes, this is the perfect style, love it

[@snifpowderoutanus]

Videogamedunkey just started his own indie publishing company called Bigmode, might be worth a shot reaching out

[@Isaax]

Soulful beyond comprehension

[@BetweenWaters]

This just became my most anticipated game of next year from this trailer alone! Animation quality is absolutely stunning and movement looks like a joy to play.

[@conlinmckay1742]

And the award for the most accurate PS2 looking game in modern time goes to...

[@RaheemDublin]

GOD DAMN. THAT MOVEMENT.

[@Jepegish]

This looks absolutely fantastic! You best believe I'm pledging.

[@mrkelly45]

Looks awesome, love how the fishing hook is tied to your actions, minimizing context sensitivity

[@Oretal]

THIS TRAILER GOES HARD AND THIS GAME LOOKS SO DAMN PRETTY

[@i0kiPlus]

Keep us updated I can't wait for this game to drop :)

[@Jempai]

This game has the Spyro look better than the Spyro remaster lol. Love the way the eyes move

[@timordecai1964]

Journey meets Mario galaxy meets Sly Cooper ?? Amazing

[@nateisonline6448]

This looks unbelievable, I’m immediately hooked

[@sheiryard8149]

This game looks so fucking phenomenal I cannot wait

[@Luc_ienn]

I’ve been telling everyone I know about this game (which is…well, 5 people; listen I’m not rly on social media) but I really hope that those 5 people like the game enough to tell everyone they know about this game too. I really want this game to reach its backing goal! It’s one of the most intriguing platformers I’ve seen in a while.

[@BluebsTopCat]

This looks fantastic! excited to see it progress.

[@errorhouse4925]

Loving the music, really gives me a Chrono Trigger feeling. This looks so good

[@Ash-Dexter]

This game looks very promising, appealing, beautiful, and looks better than most modern video games.

[@Myi6577]

I didn’t know how much I missed the PS2 aesthetic. And I already missed it pretty dang much.

[@Geode_Raptor]

Man i wish i found out about this earlier so i could have joined in on the kickstarter

[@Klar]

Looks amazing. Can't wait to try it one day.

[@triplecrosscounter]

This needs more views
