I got a lot of time on one at pincinnati. I grew up performing magic at kid birthday parties so the theme is right up my alley. I liked the animation and call outs! But the shots are just too tough. I think they would have a bigger hit on their hands if there was one less lane, and that extra space would provide forgiveness for remaining lanes. Bummer!
Quoted from harryhoudini:HA! I have to really disagree there... as an example, the art uses "chiller" font in some instances... it couldn't be less period if they tried. I think that goes for the whole thing.. the colors.. I mean, I have the visual (it's been a while) of some almost fluorescent (green, purple) colors being used for fonts or background during the animations. There are plenty of sources to draw from of recent design concepts using vintage, infact more of a steampunk look would have done wonders, but really it's a travesty.
I gotta say when I saw them using a wrong font I just had to walk away... I didn’t even think this kind of criticism was possible. Really?!
