Liquorious – das herrlich abgedrehte Jump’n’Run Game der mmt-Studenten Rene Baumgartner und Fabian Bergner wurde kürzlich beim internationalen EUROPRIX Multimedia Award ausgezeichnet. Der Europrix prämiert die besten Multimediaprodukte von jungen ProduzentInnen aus ganz Europa.
In ihrer Begründung schreibt die Jury: Liquorious brings the look and feel of old arcade games bang up into the 21st century. The game is straightforward and highly addictive, using the simple game mechanics that made good games – great! You are the hero, the Penguin armed only with your jetpack, tasked to make it through the complex 8bit shifting and disorienting maze. With highly aggressive craftsmanship, the brainmelting graphics and the ear-shattering soundscape are suggestive of an early arcade classic that has been distorted somehow after being beamed into the present. The speed of the game is totally exhausting, mitigated only by the slow-motion button and the time-rewind function. Liquorious delivers its punch with comic humour in highly frustrating, annoying and almost impossible to complete fashion … just the way any classic arcade game should!
Dem Lob der Expertinnen aus der Jury können wir uns nur anschließen. Gut gemacht! 😉
