Really makes the game for me. The gameplay was fun, but nothing to write home about imo. The artistry though... Amazing. Really brings the game alive. Makes it feel like an extraordinary place.
Something about this game just.... clicked. The visuals, the gameplay, the world, the story, the characters, all just made me fall in love with the game. It won't be a perfect game for most people, but it will be for me. It's what I've been looking for in an Indie game for such a long time now... my GOTY, and maybe my personal favorite game of all time. Thank you, Heart Machine, for one of the most impactful games I have ever played.
I tried to play Transistor, but for some stupid reason, my potato computer couldn't run it above a framerate of 10. I didn't get far before I refunded it, sadly.
This is by far the best trailer I have ever seen for a game. It's not often that I rewatch a trailer, let a lot rewatch it over 10 times lol. I'm very much looking forward to spending my weekend with this game. It's very obvious that a lot of love has been put into this project. I applaud you for your hard wok!
have to say, beating this game left me with the most intense empty feeling. I couldn't get the game out of my head, would think about it all day at work, play it all night when I got home. The mystery and intrigue elements hit me deep, as well as getting perfect at the game with dashing. If you've dashed 800 times around in the upgrade shop to get the purple suit you know what I'm talking about. This game is bliss for me, and the trailer epitomizes this. I've watched this trailer probably 50 times since I started playing the game. I've played hundreds of games, this one though, really twangs the soul.
@@TheNewExpFeed It is, its my favorite game in the last 10 years. At first I didnt get it, and then discovered a secret in the level, then I realized the ONLY way to progress anywhere is finding secrets. Its core gameplay is based on finding secrets. The amazing art style, animation and haunting music (each 10/10 is second place to this core element.
I stopped playing just before the last boss because I couldn't face finishing the damn thing. At least this way, it isn't over. I'll go back one day. Some day.
It's been so many years since I backed this in 2013. So much has happened in my life since then. I was such a different person, and yet I'm still kinda the same. And now it's actually happening. It's so surreal, you know? "Consoles coming soon" Oh damn it.
To anyone thinking of getting this game, I cannot recommend it enough. The art and music alone make this game a profoundly emotional experience, and on top of that, the gameplay makes you feel like a badass, phenomenal game
I haven't gotten there yet, but there was a similar segment in the watery area involving those flame-pads. I didn't know chain dashes were a thing when I did that part.
6 years later, still one of my absolute favorite games. Heart machine came out of nowhere, and i was hooked from the initial images when the game was still in development. They delivered so damn well with music, art-style, AND gameplay. Ive always been a fan of classical piano, and hearing this soundtrack which was inspired by Debussy, while still holding its ground on a futuristic apocalyptic type of game, made me obsessed with both the soundtrack and disasterpiece I hope Alex is doing well, i know the game was initially delayed due to his heart condition.
hyper light drifter isnt going anywhere... HLB looks like itll be a lot more accessible, at the expense of the nuance HLD had, but hopefully it'll at least allow us to appreciate HLD more, and get more people invested into the world of HLD who wouldnt have otherwise
Heart Machine I’ll always love this trailer. There’s just something beautifully simplistic about it that makes it both extremely rewatchable and hard hitting. Maybe it’s the lack of hard violent sounds over the fast gameplay that’s playing in the background. Either way thanks for the game guys :]]
This game looks so beautiful. The music has an eerily familiar tone, while still being almost alien. I'm so glad it's here. I feel like we're all going to find something quite moving about this.
+Jason Schuck I love P. Glass! I can totally see it now that you mention it. Usually find his pieces quite moving, although the composition for Candyman was chillingly beautiful.
Heart Machine, thank you. This game is so beautiful I cried. I can see a lot of personal love and effort in this game. Thank you for sharing it with the world.
the music of this game is really good and its perfect for the game. Its mysterious, crushing with distortion and feedback and yet beautiful with nice melodies. Great work from disasterpiece and the dev team who made this great game!
That cult deep dark feel to the artwork and characters backstory, 8bit, 16bit, top-down, less words to explain the story and as far away from reality as possible. More games like this need to be made, for those of us hard into the imagination and art of cult games. Keep your AAA super sharp everything's so real games, take a walk outside if you want the real world. This stuff is invigorating to the mind
I just finished the game and don't regret purchasing it. The graphics, the sounds, the story (plus I'm a big fan of pixel games) everything was excellent! I highly recommend it
Absolutely glorious trailer. And I'm very pleased to see level and enemy design that requires the advanced mechanics I enjoyed so much in the preview build, like chain dashing and projecting deflecting. The shoot-and-retreat pace of that room swarming with tiny enemies looks terrific. I fell in love with the game's moveset as much as its art style and music when I played the preview build, and it's clear that the full game is really going to explore it. I can hardly wait for the 31st!
The first trailer hocked me so hard that i fully fall in love with this Game. I buy this game on Humble on Oktober 15 2013 and never regret the decision to buy it that early. I was back then so hyped that i buy the ultimate edition and the Alternate Charakter. This announcement made my day. Thanks Alex Preston and the rest of the Team from HeartMachine for this beautiful piece of art. Hope this game is a great succsess for you guys and all your wishes come true. Greetings from Germany
+Paul Weaver ohh yeah. Check out the Fez soundtrack if you aren't already familiar for more amazing stuff by the same artist. The game creator apparently requested "chiptune vangelis" for the music
The music, the art. Wow.

I've had alot of fun with this game. Except for the crystal room 1:14.
Holy shit man I feel you, that room killed me more times than any boss in the game
I got through it after my 4th attempt because I figured out you get i-frames when you chain dash into a wall and do the fall down animation
KingHalbatorix I ended up downloading a metronome app so I could play the right bpm as i chain-dashed.
I haven't gotten there yet, but there was a similar segment in the watery area involving those flame-pads.
I didn't know chain dashes were a thing when I did that part.
Where is it? Cause I've beaten the game and haven't seen it

Looks like a remix of clair de lune - debussy , fucking great , the game and the track.

Shoutout to those who watched this after the Breaker trailer.
I'm going to miss this... I guess the transition to 3D was inevitable... It just feels like it lost something along the way. I love this game.
hyper light drifter isnt going anywhere... HLB looks like itll be a lot more accessible, at the expense of the nuance HLD had, but hopefully it'll at least allow us to appreciate HLD more, and get more people invested into the world of HLD who wouldnt have otherwise
Ive heard this song a million times but i never knew where it came from
Panacea. It’s in the soundtrack. It sounds like pseudo-impressionist classical, like clair de lune. Great song.
Heart Machine I’ll always love this trailer. There’s just something beautifully simplistic about it that makes it both extremely rewatchable and hard hitting. Maybe it’s the lack of hard violent sounds over the fast gameplay that’s playing in the background. Either way thanks for the game guys :]]
