It was nice to end the wait for a Broadsoft game under three years
from MM:Hobbit/JSW:LOTR! :-)

I believe the original is called "Korobushka". I know it as "Tetris".
It was also in the film The Deerhunter, I believe.

Only a chosen few will complete Goodnite Luddite! ;-)

Are you talking specifically about the flickering vertical guardians,
or the ultra-fast VGs? It creates a chess-like challenge in rooms such
as "ALL SAINTS" that have to be played with the pause-key! ;-)

Goodnite Luddite is the sequel to We Pretty, so I tried to make it
everything that We Pretty is, and then more. I'm very pleased with how
the first two games in the Kari Krisníková series have turned out.

I always strive to include a lot of quirky features in my games, and
for Goodnite Luddite I gave my all on almost every single room. I also
edit my games further than a lot of MM/JSW-rewrites, although I did
reuse some sprites from We Pretty.

Thank you! :-)

This is exactly what I aim for! ;-)
