Since working on the vignette system, it’s been very difficult to show off how it looks in-game without motion, and people aren’t that interested in video so below I’ve posted some fast-loading, ultra-grainy gifs of some of the more motion-dependent bits of Hyper Gauntlet. Level Up

These exploding boxes come with an audible “BOOM” with every level up. It’s not too loud to be distracting, but it’s certainly noticeable

Life loss

A red vignette and an Inception-inspired VROOM noise tell you when you’ve messed up, in case the block flying at your face isn’t a good enough clue.

Slow Motion

A deep blue vignette and a wonderful sound effect of slowing all playing sounds happens when you hit the slow motion button. I love doing it as a block passes by, the WHOOSH sound is awesome slowed right down.

So what do you think now you’ve seen the vignette in action? Too much? Too bold?
