Best Aesthetics 2019
Award
Winner: Super Metroid: Ascent by Benox50
Ascent features a great breadth of custom visuals, and makes clever use of effects to elevate its appearance. The use of custom music adds fantastic depth to the "aesthetic" experience, really selling the immersion for each area. An easy vote for me.

Benox absolutely fucking killed it here. Every room in Ascent doesn't just drip in atmosphere, they POUR it

Gonna go with Ascent here. The screenshots alone could honestly sell you on the hack, they're really well done and the hack is super consistent with this great design throughout.

The colors were unleashed, and we were not prepared. The colors have overwhelmed us.

Ascent uses a lot of excellent combinations of layering, palettes, glows, and FX layer effects to bring to life the best looking Super Metroid hack ever made.
