[@Minty_Meeo]

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

[@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.

[@CrackerNDaisyOfficial]

Oh heck, yes my dude

[@ryanhernandez1877]

Who's Klonoa????

[@CrackerNDaisyOfficial]

@@ryanhernandez1877 only one of the best 2.5D platformers of the 2000s!

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.

[@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.

[@lavenchie2629]

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

[@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!

[@ur_dads_sandals]

I’m surprised there’s nobody really talking about this game on KZbin

[@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!

[@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

[@Drewgonzo11]

This is the game that will save us all

[@obelisk398]

chrono trigger reference with the seagulls is on point

[@gnbman]

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

[@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

[@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!

[@user-ee5oz2il1r]

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

[@Kaptime]

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

[@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.

[@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

[@gavvstheworld]

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

[@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!

[@Cotygeek]

That music is wonderful.

[@SC_3]

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

[@nehgamingyt8537]

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

[@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!

[@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!

[@ThaddeusSilva]

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

[@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.

[@choccocker]

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

[@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 :)

[@LAZY-RUBY]

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

[@daserfomalhaut9809]

HOLY SHIT

[@timordecai1964]

Journey meets Mario galaxy meets Sly Cooper ?? Amazing

[@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!

[@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.

[@ireallydontknowifiamhonest]

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

[@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.

[@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

[@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.

[@Myi6577]

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

[@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!

[@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.

[@Ash-Dexter]

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

[@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.

[@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!

[@conlinmckay1742]

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

[@abra_escaped]

Wow, this movement looks super fun! Just discovered the game and I'm already very excited Ooh and it's coming to Switch, thank goodness since my laptop porbably wouldn't run 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.

[@SvensPron]

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

[@yoshi18super]

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

[@tangerinehomicide]

This is somehow related to that yo noid game, isn't it? Looks fucking rad.

[@VivRibbon]

same developers, yeah!

[@Isaax]

Soulful beyond comprehension

[@snifpowderoutanus]

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

[@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!

[@DaVince21]

I'm in love with the music.

[@spzi_]

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

[@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!

[@Kbryce]

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

[@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!

[@internettoon]

god this looks so fun

[@theguffbin6734]

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

[@uicosole]

im so obsessed with the look of this game.....everything just looks so charming. also it reminds me a bit of skyward sword which im very nostalgic for.

[@PS1APE]

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

[@MegasparkX5]

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

[@Oretal]

THIS TRAILER GOES HARD AND THIS GAME LOOKS SO DAMN PRETTY

[@spaceace9103]

I keep coming back to 1:24 it's so good

[@mr.unfinished174]

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

[@CananaMan]

I think this will have to be the second project i back with Kickstarter

[@RaoulWB]

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

[@aliwenlemunir3596]

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

[@aomregcik]

seriously brought tears to my eyes. beauty

[@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

[@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

[@Klar]

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

[@Jepegish]

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

[@RaheemDublin]

GOD DAMN. THAT MOVEMENT.

[@BluebsTopCat]

This looks fantastic! excited to see it progress.

[@GeneralButtKnight]

This looks fucking incredible.

[@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.

[@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.

[@tyrusminus]

This is amazing and I can't wait for it to release. I don't know why, but I have a feeling this game will be my all-time favorite. It just speaks to me.

[@Mike14264]

Alright, this is another one to keep on my radar! It looks stunning!

[@Angelictwinkie]

this looks sick, def pledging and looking forward to it

[@mrkelly45]

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

[@nateisonline6448]

This looks unbelievable, I’m immediately hooked

[@errorhouse4925]

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

[@raulperez3078]

Looks great!

[@lanefaulhaber875]

Wow, this looks incredible! Can't wait to see what you guys do. Thanks for keeping 3D platformers alive!!

[@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!

[@az8557]

Amazing! will definitely check it out

[@DoublemintDave]

Wow this looks amazing!

[@NojoNortu]

It's a mix of psx games and specifically super mario galaxy, amazing

[@unluckylux7781]

THIS LOOKS SO GOOD

[@Eichro]

really digging the absolute klonoa aesthetic here

[@carrotOnLive]

i have been non stop playing this the past week

[@ChocoIncognito]

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

[@lefriki123]

I just completed the demo, and I really can't express how happy I was with just the demo of the game, the style, the music, the gameplay, everything is incredible. I'm really looking forward to the full game.

[@shovelclaws]

this game is so beautiful. excited to play it :)

[@GarudaPSN]

This looks great! Gameplay seems very smooth as well
