Hear, hear. And as someone who has only recently started playing Metal Slug, its art is indisputably an example of some of the best pixel art in any arcade game ever due to the sheer detail and quality of the animations. Monolith has the same care and attention in its artwork, evidenced by the quality of the background, animation, and enemy designs, regardless of whether or not its artistic style is to your personal tastes.
Stunning, even (no one mentioned the music so I guess that still sucks...).

You don't have the basic reading skills to back up that arrogance of yours. You also apparently lack the ability to use a search engine based on your claim you're the first person to have thought of making an ASCII art text-based shmup, of which I found at least 3 after a few minutes of searching.

Just in case you weren't aware, this thread is for discussing Monolith. It's not for to spam with your useless shitposting. Go away.
edit: You're not worth bumping the thread to respond to your inane nonsense. This isn't about disagreement or even your laughable complaints about Monolith's art and music style not being to your taste, or worse, thinking it's remotely comparable in gameplay to Kokuga just because both have multidirectional aiming (never mind that Kokuga's feels completely different). Fine, you don't like Monolith, whatever, play something else.
It's your attitude problem that's obnoxious and you making incorrect assertions about about what game engine the game is (it's GameMaker Studio) while acting like you're some super innovative genuins for (not) being the first to think to make an ASCII shmup. Coming from a relatively new account with no real credibility, it's pretty brazen of you to act like you're hot shit when you're spouting nonsense like this and expect to be taken seriously whilst essentially derailing the game discussion thread.
