Assassin poems, Poems that shoot
guns. Poems that wrestle cops into alleys
and take their weapons leaving them dead
and yes, it's extremely good
i also will give Toby credit for attention to detail on things like character expressions
other aspects, like the player character's legs being different widths, and the building tops in New Home that are just sitting there against a black backdrop, feel kind of sloppy to me
I feel the same way about most chiptune music.
But Undertale knows what it's doing; it appeals to that nostalgia, then subverts your expectations by using audio and visual effects that jar with the aesthetic of the period being evoked.
Also old game soundtracks have an interesting tendency to emphasize melody (due to limitations in other respects) and i feel Toby understands that, too, as evident in e.g. Metal Crusher.
Undertale's approach is so perfect in every other way that these are really small quibbles.
I admit I didn't think of that. That works pretty well, then.
I've never made any complaints about the music, FWIW. It is indeed pretty great.
I really like the look of the battle scenes, too.
to get a neutral or pacifist ending would be considered "beating" that route, in usual game terminology
though yes, there's only one way to beat Undertale by conventional means, the reference hasn't gone over my head
