#pixelTANGLE Get the Boot[Ch.11].

OrangeDog Says

welcome to chapter XI—

Battletoads could’ve been great. Amazing, even! I remember at it’s release it had so much hype!!

The game graphics made it look so cool in Nintendo Power- it looked very TMNT arcade style beat ‘em up. My brother and I anxiously waited for the release. I remember it was loaned out several times before we actually got a chance to rent it ourselves. The expectations [compounded by my excitement] were high.

Battletoads started out fun enough in the first levels. Then suddenly, it got so difficult!! I don’t think I ever got past the stage involving jumping and avoiding walls while on a bike. If you’ve played it, you know what I’m talking about.

It was too much coordination and memorization for my child brain- I think I’d short circuit as it progressively got faster and faster.

They made a Double Dragon and Battletoads mashup after that on SNES- but, by then I was too jaded by the overwhelming challenge of the original.

I’ve never played any other Battletoads games. Are there any worth playing?

love,

WHAT IS PIXELTANGLE?

#pixelTANGLE is an art style rooted in freehand pixel illustrations with zentangle elements. Pursue the art form using the medium of your choice to freehand the pixel outlines how you’d like, and then combine #zentangle elements. I currently use ink and pens. Follow me as I continue to expand my process.

continue work

Just finished crocheting my “playing cards” bag!

It’s a little wonky but overall I am happy with it. Might be adding some buttons or other closing mechanism to it later on.

Here you can find the tutorial I was following.
