Ultrakill was a game I played on a whim that has since occupied my head rent-free, so here I am talking about it. I considered doing a normal review of the game, however it seems like that's what most people are doing. Instead I decided to try and pull a few lessons from it that we may be able to use in our own #gamedevelopment . Please pardon any "crunchy" sections of the video, there were parts I had to record on my laptop.

All music is from the #ultrakill OST, get it here:

Right as I finished up I realized I could make an entire video about "The Rule Of Cool" using Ultrakill, so I may do a second video on the game some time in the future.
