If Pigs Could Fly

A snazzy intro with a long piece of sampled sound leads to a sequence of demo screens. No menu, just one effect after the other, including light-sourced lines and vector balls, splines, interesting scroll text effects and all your old favourites.

Like a lot of demos, it hails from Scandinavia, where to pass the long winter nights they code demos like this. The effects are all competently produced and smoothly executed, but not new. It's like watching a programmer's portfolio: "Look, I can do this and this..."

It would be good to linger on the better effects and experiment more. Not as bad as most, or as good as some.
