It was released by Worm Animation, a new video for Beat The Game that focuses on the game’s hero, Mistik, and the mysterious tree figure, Moss. The video showcases Beat The Game’s beautiful hand-drawn character style that draws influence from the European surrealists like Dali and Ernst, while also making clear the Worm Animation’s pedigree in film animation, notably their contribution to Oscar nominated short film, Gopher Broke.
Check out the character video, featuring the characters Mistik and Moss:
“Mistik is a music producer who makes beats for a living. Equipped with his trusty sampler, he travels to create new sounds out of everyday objects, from a simple wooden stick to a metal can. Mistik doesn’t adhere to our concepts of dimension, distance, time or space because he lives in a dream world, a musician’s dream. Beat The Game’s second character, the hulking Moss, is a bassline maker who lives underground, only making himself visible at night. While Moss doesn’t make entire tracks, his basslines are exactly what Mistik needs to give his tracks that extra kick and bump in energy. Together, and with other characters, Mistik and Moss form a colourful cast in a bizarre world driven by the love of music.
