You totally nailed the vibe that early 2000s Newgrounds era is a huge inspiration for me. I wanted to capture that scrappy, creative energy where a single developer could build something weird and ambitious without needing a AAA budget.
The 1bit art style and procedural world are part of that philosophy: keep the client light, lean into constraints, and pack in as much depth as I can. It's awesome to hear it's resonating with people who remember that era.
If you end up diving deeper, I'd love to hear what other nostalgic buttons it pushes or any features you'd want to see added. Thanks again for the kind words!
