Don't know if anyone has actually seen this, just found it tonight. Very interetsing approach and thought it was def. original. Check it out.

Not bad. The cursor was too gimmicky. Performance suffered badly when playing video. I did like the particle effects and text rollouts.

that's a really cool site. there's a bug though. move the cursor to a textbox, and you'll see both I and the arrow mc. :cantlook:

Great site :thumb:

The nav I don't like though, much. You can't see what is there until you hover over it. Usability--;

Why is it that Apple people often double as uesablility people, when Macs are so darned unuseable?

That site was awesome. Anyone know how they made the text un-shade based on the mouse proximity?

thats all folks

Anyone know the fonts they use threw out the site? I can see they use Verdana but the bottom fonts for credits are?

tried hard but couldn't discover the secret bg - can anyone give me a clue?
a great site!
I agree with their opinions that traditional advertising is slowly losing it's effect. What do you think?

Arun, try to 'play' with the background. Giving more hints would make it too easy!

Great. Another "me and my platform are superior to you and your platform" piece of brilliance!

take it easy kidlets.

I found the secret background but I have no idea how! :P Yeah, just play with it a bit and it'll eventually reveal itself. ;)

Nice site - fun to play with.

when you guys say secret background, do you mean the blackout? You can make his interface shortcircuit which is so damn ingenious to me. Just showed half the department this site.

Nah, you have to do some interaction and it then select the second background at the bottom. There's a little clue towards the bottom that tells you what's going on.

But I'd love to know how you short-circuited it! :P

keep your cursor over the logo text for a while.....it'll short circuit. and black out....I love this site :love:

Okay, you know what is really funny? (or maybe just sad) I actually did that the first time I visited the site but I had barely explored it so couldn't figure out what was going on!

What a fun site. :pleased:

yeah i really like the way he/she used lighting through the whole site, you can see items dim when the mouse cursor is not around that object , the blackout thing was brilliant, the new wall was nice , but i like playing around with those circle things in the blue background. i have to agree for overall experience this is one of the most refreshing sites i have seen in a long while.

To get the secret background, get a orb to have a little light orbiting it, and bring it to the bottom. Do this until it becomes happy.

Man this site deserves every web award out there. It actually makes me want to explore and stuff......good shizzle.

There are five empty circles on the bottom, above the submenu (credits, sound effects, etc). As you are doing something right (whatever that is - play with the floating mouse avoiding orbs?) those empty circles fill with a single bright pixel. Get all five and you get the background.

You have to get a big orb to have a small orb orbiting around it, then get it to the bottom. ;)

lol, it took me longer knowing how to do it than just farting around the first couple of times :P
