Couple of questions --

• The box art is just a throwback, yeah? This wasn't an old Sega game brought back from the dead?
• Isn't Krunch also the name of some kind of software development strategy? Is that just a coincidence?

The box art isn't the real box art, it was a joke I painted on Twitter like a year ago - whomever created the wiki page didn't bother checking facts, apparently.

@twobitart: Well, it's a very cute joke. Nicely done at any rate!

We'll post an actual photo the Collector's Edition cover soon.... there's a photo of the mockup here: http://www.krunchgame.com/

Lol. You posted that cover, didn't you, V? No one remembers that Master System cover! *shakes fists*

<begin the "I'm such a retro fan!!" lies here>

Oh man I remember sorta renting this game when I was a kid. Old 8-Bit games are the best!! I love how hard they are and how I forget that and then I play them again without my fucking rose tinted glasses and suck at them in a the first few minutes so I stop playing them but then keep telling people what an 8-Bit fan I am!! Remember Columns? LOL!!!

Here is an editorial a friend of mine wrote up about the game, has some details and assets in there from the game.

Does "Masocore" mean really hard or "Bullshit unfair" like IWBTG? If it's the former then I might give it a shot...

There's tons of hard and arguably a few "bullshit unfair" spots in KRUNCH... Overall, a challenging experience! I love someone here tagged it Masocore :) Tempted to rename our upcoming Hardcore Mode to MASO Mode.
