Loopy in a Hard-off Store

Another odd project that sprung up was an April Fool’s NES rom from Vex @ NintendoAge (his name changes from Vex and a bunch of numbers, so we’re running with the only constant part of his name). Vex is a programmer and has a Soviet-based platformer coming out soon(ish), so he thought it would be funny to release a “demo” which was really a quick game where the player searched through bins of famicom games until they found his game.

Little did we know in Japan there’s a loosely associated chain of “off” stores that sell electronics, home goods, garage items, books, etc., called Hard-Off. AND, little did we know that in the electronics store they only play one musacy (yep, we just wrote that) song that’s strangely hypnotic and annoying and beautiful and… well, listen for yourself and decide!
