"Someone pinch me. I think I'm dreaming that I've been sucked back in time to the year 2000. Or is the Gorillaz game site really back online? Kong Studios disappeared almost 20 years ago, taking it a kind of charm that the internet struggles to deliver these days. Now the old Flash-powered site has been rebuilt and revamped while respecting the original's apocalyptic spooky atmosphere and stormy backdrop and the classic Gorillaz animation style."
"First up, we find ourselves in a Doomesque first-person shooter inspired by the Clint Eastwood music video where we have to wallop or shoot rampaging zombie gorillas. Get through that (or simply skip it) and you'll find yourself in the classic Kong Studios lobby - surely one of the most quintessentially Y2K website UI concepts. There are rooms for each band member, plus new mini games and Easter eggs to discover."
Kong Studios, the Gorillaz Flash-era website, has been rebuilt and modernized while retaining its apocalyptic, stormy backdrop and classic animation style. The relaunched site runs at higher resolution and benefits from faster modern internet speeds. The experience begins with a Doom-like first-person shooter inspired by the Clint Eastwood music video, with an option to skip. The recreated lobby evokes quintessential Y2K website UI design. Individual rooms spotlight each band member and include new mini-games and hidden Easter eggs. The project will receive additional rooms and features over time and serves as a central hub for Gorillaz information.
