It kept popping around the backloggd sphere. Given the title, I thought it was some random meme game. (I guess everyone assumed that)
It's a 3 minute "experience" made in bitsy. It's a super personal piece to the point that relating and/or understanding it is impossible for me (thats not a bad thing really lmao). Given the use of bitsy, I persume this was made in the rush of the moment - very quickly and just trying to get the feelings/idea across while it is still fresh in their mind without having to commit to building a lot of system and tech beforehand. While minimal in its tech and execution, it still creates a strong sense of nostalgia for me - even though I never played Cave Story nor relate to the stuff said in the game.
In the end, I don't get why this got so much traction. I guess the title got some heads turnin'.
