Happy Balanniversary everyone!!

I love this little quirky game to death,, it was a part of a big developmental stage in my life and I can’t thank enough of it, honestly I don’t what I’ll be without it..

Thank you everyone and let the show go on!!

I get the feeling that Square Enix aren’t gonna do shit with Balan Wonderworld or even just with the character of Balan.

And that really annoys me!

Balan is an amazing character who has IMMENSE potential and he deserves a second chance!

He NEEDS a second chance!

At the very least.

If there was an award for "most recent game released to receive a demake" I truly think Balan Wonderworld would be the victor! (But then it is something that can be ever changing mind you!) Adding to the further name confusion I did indeed take the opportunity to call the Gameboy "port" of "sorts", Balan Wonderland! Not only a play on the Super Mario World and Super Mario Land name convention, but because hey, come on, who *hasn't* accidentally called Balan Wonderworld, Balan Wonderland?But what IS Balan Wonderworld? Perhaps this "worst game of 2021" either flew over your radar or barreled right into your radar, setting off a major red alert making you avoid it completely. Well, if you want the absolute creme de le creme coverage, I highly recommend Austin Eruptions video on it, found here! Even if you're somewhat familiar with the game Austin goes into such depth and brings up the games strong points whilst not dismissing the game’s obvious flaws. Cannot recommend the video enough and it's a good chunk of the reason why I wanted to demake Balan! So if there is even a smidgen of a speck of a whisper of interest in Balan Wonderworld, maybe check it out. Or do what I did which is watch playthroughs and then listen to the entire OST on repeat whilst demaking it :D.

Happy Balannouncement Day!

The only background characters who’s 3D models are not recolored (but some are duplicated)

As part of the platforming and exploration based challenges in Balan Wonderworld, the player is able to acquire a multitude of Costumes that alter gameplay in some way, providing unique changes in movement, attacking, or even puzzle solving. Whenever the player takes damage or falls out of the stage, they lose whatever costume they are wearing, and upon losing all of the Costumes, are unable to continue playing. This makes the Costumes serve multiple purposes, not just as a way to advance, but also as an alternative lives system, ensuring that a Game Over can only occur if the player loses all of their Costumes in rapid succession.

Did a fanart for Balan Wonderworld since my last piece was well-received (will upload that here later). The franchise has lore interesting enough for me to spark ideas for more art, so expect to see more if you're interested!

The Tim Experience

Lance finds himself with Balan, checking in the Tims that supposedly "fear" Negati

He was proven wrong

Balan probably doesn’t need to sleep but I imagine he does it anyway.

It makes sense in my mind.

Idk.

Second track from the Balan Wonderworld demake is none other than the Dance of the Negati!
