It’s almost shocking how expressive and pure this game is really. From the way your abstract pinchy yellow avatar slightly leans in the direction of your slight knob twist to even the act of transitioning between stages allowing for movement and danger. Tempest is a game that feels like it was just ahead of the curve in respect to having clean vector graphics (that very literally will always just be a bunch of direct shapes no matter how nice your screen looks) with pure colors for every entity in the game and a control scheme that only works with this kind of game.

I didn’t know anything about this game besides it being a big deal vector game but it’s almost shocking how fun a game that looks like it’d be Pong’s weird roommate is
