The Rise Of Love by Hemoroids

Hippie Musical Demo

Hemoroids, the amazing French demogroup, released The Rise of Love for the Atari STe in 2022. It came 1st at Silly Venture 2022 and is different from what I first expected. It abandons the usual mind-boggling, 68000-crushing technical effects for a groovy art demonstration. Don’t get me wrong, that’s a positive.

This demo features a vibrant, uplifting tone, showcasing a ton of pixel art in a groovy way while listening to super chip music. It’s got a funky 70s/80s flair with many memorable moments, reflecting a time when the world was much more sane than it is today. I even spotted the Ford Torino from Starsky & Hutch:)

This demo is brimming with a charming, nostalgic atmosphere. It’s a digital art showcase and a must-watch. Sure, the video is good, but nothing beats real hardware. So get it downloaded right now!

This will unleash your mellow inner hippy. LOL I just know it...
