When I first saw the Hornet coat overstated around her slim form online, I didn’t think it was true. I certainly thought it must be a stupid fan Hollow Knight: SilksongCharacter. This is something in the same kingdom Hornet with giant shoesPerhaps, or the game equivalent: “you may not like it, but this is what the peak type offer looks like.” Hornet, as an absolute unit.
Except not, it was completely true. I just didn’t advance enough in Metroidvania to unlock Hover Hornet’s ability, so I haven’t seen it yet in action. But when the game encouraged me to fly to Far Fields, my mind was blown up. I jumped over and over to see Hornet became a balloon. Dozens of hours later I still fall into an unnecessary sliding drift as a feast.
I know, I know it’s such a tiny thing. The animation is not technically impressive compared to other smaller details, just like ants in the background will begin to wear beads and dead shales of enemies you leave. It is not as flashy as when Hornet falls into the healing phase, nor is it as amazing as the bosses of Behemot, the game routinely throws himself at you. It did not leave me a lasting sense of fear, for example when you first entered the haunted Bellhart.
But the fact that I immediately associated Hover Hornet with a meme speaks about the quintessence of the project. It is perfect in the same way as the image Cat hidden in a loaf It’s perfect. This is an economic motive; Several lines that everyone could draw. Hornet: round. This lack of surplus makes the project so excellent. Here’s the core Silksong The verb, fell into his most basic essence, until it becomes the platonic ideal of the ability he represents.
Speaking less foggy, the Hornet’s Hover project brings a very needed whim to play full of atrocities. This is a tiny relief that can bring joy in the middle of a hopeless round or a tedious long section of Pogo. The project is a great reminder that even when Team Cherry repeatedly pushes the player through a series of unjustified gloves, every element that causes rage has been considered yes. Speaking, it’s love.
The actual ability is definitely useful. I have lost the number of times when the blurring of the hole button saved my ass in the hard part of the game or made absurd levels slightly more tolerated. But we also cannot discount that the project actually inspired some Fantastic memestoo. Here are some of my favorites for your pleasure to watch.
