My ex-gf always used to say Skrillex sounded like videogame music to her.. I was like "whatever, you don't GET it", but I stand corrected. Should send her some "I'm sorry you were kinda right" chocolates.

Re: Skrillex Quest
#12This is really awesome, definitely a good entrant in the "video games are art" category.
I do wish it wasn't Flash though. Not that I have anything against Flash itself when used the right way, but I feel like it's really hard to "own" a Flash game.
Unlike, say, iOS apps that you can download and come back to 6 months later, Flash games are a lot more of a flash in the pan (sorry…) and I think it's a shame in cases like this where the end result is so great and so much work obviously went into it.

#13Very cool concept and enjoyable game, but it caused the Iceweasel 'plugin-container' on my laptop to use over 200% CPU, which I'm guessing is related to the circuit breaker flipping (twice). Running Crunchbang 11 on a Dell Latitude E6410...
Edit: And took me from somewhere near 100% battery to 67%. Crazy

I love electronic music. But, I can not get into Skrillex or American Dubstep for that manner. I feel like im missing something...
Re: Skrillex Quest
#15won't load for me, latest crunchbang, also tried on Mint 13, and it wouldn't work there either.....
Re: Skrillex Quest
#16I just upvoted something done with flash on hn for the first time ever. The zelda 1 esque levels were sheer genius. I would actually dig playing an entire game with that perspective/style.

I don't think you're missing anything, it's simply a matter of personal taste. I don't enjoy Skrillex either (dubstep to me is artists like Burial) but I can see why his more muscular approach might appeal to the American crowd.

#18Loving the fact there are FFVII sound effects too.
Re: Skrillex Quest
#19I totally get the theme but I can't help getting nervous goosebumps from the artifacts - I feel like I have to reset the display cable or blow into the cartridge! Well done.
