Goscurry is a hard game, developed by Daniele Giardini with beats by Isak Martinsson, where you must relax and follow the rhythm (except for speedfreak modes, where things go crazy). Try to go as far as you can by piloting a ship on an infinite road, suspended over a stylized and eerie landscape, while taking sharp corners, evading hazards, and avoiding panic attacks.

A behind the scenes of some of the current avatars of Goscurry, with some curiosity about their origin.

Posted by on

One of the parts I enjoyed more while developing Goscurry was the creation of the avatars. They're simple pixel characters, but I took the occasion to portrait people I know, or to homage other games. This is a recount of the ones that have a link to someone - or something - else.

The People



These are the superhero alter-egos of Isak and myself. Isak is the red one, because he's more evil - though he still didn't beat me at Goscurry, ah!


This is my stepson Aki, in his powerful scout costume. In reality he's a very funny kid, and surely doesn't look that martial.


From left to right, we have:
- Jelena, my awesome superhero comic-artist lady, which always wins when we play Bang!
- Natalia (Isak's superheroine and co-creator/illustrator/animator for Fran Bow)
- Bere, red-headed curry lover and Ruben Müller's geek companion


This is NOT Jesus! It's actually a faithful representation of myself - and also of Isak, if you pull his hair a little.

The Homages



From left to right:
- DOT, the main character of the fantastic and nearing-release game by the great guys at 1Coin
- A wrestle-jumper, one of the two fighting twins in the absurdly fun Wrestle Jump by Mr. Otto-Ville Ojala

Ehe, I specified that also because someone wrote "why there is Jesus as an avatar?" :D Not to mention that each time I wash my hair and keep them untied, my stepson goes: "Jeeeeesus!!!"
