My Backloggd goat cooked up one of the greatest rom hacks of our generation. People will be talking about the custom Lakitu sprite for a very long time. The intense difficulty of the hack only proves to show the expertise, intelligence, and skill of its creator. Pretty inconcievable that this game only has three backloggd plays. Its a hidden gem, no a hidden gold mine, to be sure. There is so much meaning hidden under the surface of this game as well. Just look at its title. Gravity Machine. It aims to upack the very force that pushes against us at all times of the day, and not just in a physical way but a spiritual and emotional way. I think we all see ourselves in Mario as he sifts through the labyrinth of the Gravity Machine. He falls, he trips, he bonks, all on his way to what he believes to be his greatest triumph, 4 stars in the machine. It is then that he realizes that he has achieved nothing at all. He must steel himself for the true final test. He must defeat gravity once and for all, a feeling that is innate in all of us whether it be in our personal, professional, or spiritual lives. As we journey alongside Mario we learn not only about him but ourselves which makes the gravity machine such a beautiful and enchanting experience.
