After viewing all the videos I have to say that the graphics in the game suck, even for inde games it is obvious that the game doesn't even try to fake using the Dreamcast Hardware with 3D effects after destroying those cubes or whatever.

I don't know technical jibberish but I am sure it can be perfectly ported to the genesis, it doesn't even look like they took advantage of CD Sound capabilities they are freaking MIDI's or somethign...

That said the game does seem amusing to play, it's just that everything else about it is awful, no wonder it is not selling.

The music is nice enough, it suits a puzzle game.

The game also features alpha blending, so it's certainly making use of the Dreamcast's video hardware acceleration - just not for 3D graphics.

And thanks for bashing it; this made me curious enough to watch the whole video, and now I think the game's pretty cute. The dialog may be a bit too long, but it's really well written.

I'm so glad bashing it actually helped cause I really want to drive Dreamcast sales.

But I still think Yuan Works went out of their way to make the game look like a product our of the 90s.

Edited your newspost to apply the requested changes + some rewording.

I think the game looks really great! but yeah, the music could sound better = less 'MIDI'.

Even the graphics, the least they could do was have better looking cubes which broke stylishly, but it makes ammends for it with a good story mode I guess.

I really do like the graphics the way they are.

What's wrong with the chip tunes? At least how would have original CD-DA tracks been better?
