[Go Go Ackman!]

It blows my mind... how can you go from picking up boots, to picking up skyscrapers? Is it a trick? Is everything actually being rendered in full when you start a stage? Is it being loaded on the fly, GTA style? I mean, I know that large objects get simpler and simpler as they get bigger and bigger, but I stil can't believe it.

you know when you reach a height milestone and the screen flashes white with the angelic SFX? I would assume that's when it redraws.

At each milestone some object types are removed while some are added. It's not like they just keep adding things without removing things.

When you play 2P, there is a distinct brief loading when one of the players reach a certain size and the playfield expands. I'd guess it's something like that. When the King pops out to speak you can't skip him immediately.

Still, it's mighty impressive anyway.

I remember when I wanted to go back to the city and I could not find it.. I had acidentally "picked up" the city!

I dont think items are added.

Well this is pretty obvious, but having objects mostly made of flat shaded polygons helps for sure.

Have you guys forgotten a little gift from God called the Emotion Engine?
