What's that gemma?

I unfortunately have to report that the A/V is not up to SDA's standards in this recording. The video is at 9fps.

The game itself runs (or at least, can and should run) at a much higher (and much less painful to watch) frame rate than this, as I confirmed by playing it once.

Obscure games ftw

I thought something looked funny when I watched this the first time through, a second view confirms that the "something funny" was indeed a stuttering framerate.

It's worth noting that most of the minigames (sorry, microgames) look fine even with this problem, but the boss and transitions are pretty bad.

In terms of pure gameplay this would be an accept I think: mostly quick games were drawn, couldn't find anything faster and the boss was done well (4 cycles seems to be the minimum).

Not a walrus

nate says the original is only 10fps, so I'm guessing this was just poorly recorded. Will likely be rejected for that reason, but if anybody else has any more comments on it go ahead.

had a feeling, just did not feel like imporving this with better recording settings due to how RNG intense this game is, but maybe in the future
