Just from the few seconds of video from Blockbuster 2 it already looks like loads of effort has been placed into it that it could even pass as a real app you could download from the App Store. Great stuff! Also looking forward to seeing people getting creative with the triple signs!

Some would say “an insane amount of time”. But @Carrot was a man on a mission.
