Mortar Although it is enough to sell someone with dinosaurs, Raw anger I went one step further in the direction of art and provided a clear identity. The game was used as a frame using clay dolls as a storm, tail swipe and fireball animation frame instead of using the drawn sprite or live actor.
Its premise was also gloriously funny. Giant dinosaur and monkey gods are fighting for superiority in a ruined world where humans worship terrible. Each hit is a satisfactory crunch. Clay aesthetics made a monster that can be played. Raw anger Pixel art feels a real feeling in a way that cannot be done.

The shooting clay didn't seem so smooth

Ships, enemies, explosions and bullets are made of clay and digitized. As a result, even though he is a bullet of mass destruction, he feels strangely warm and attractive.
The tactile appearance still remains until today. The enemies squeaks when they are destroyed, shaken when the projectile is flying, and the background feels like a carved and carved. Under the attractive visuals, the machine ball is solid, tight control and fun gameplay loops. It explains why you are receiving remake while minimizing visuals and gameplay in 2025.

All of these parody fighters were fun in the fighting game genre, but it was also fun to bend clay aesthetics. Instead of a stoic martial artist, the player fought each other as a snowman, a literally stain and Elvis. The ridiculous list is perfectly matched with the art style, and when the game is very serious, the game has a cult.
All punches and kicks have a bit of a handmade feeling that can only be found in stop motion, which gives the whole game a sense of personality. Clay fighter Like the designed media, the goofy was rough around the edges, but it was unique how they married combat mechanics and clay -based comedy.
