Take this ROM and..: indie dev quits mainstream job via Super Mario

farbsquits.jpgIndie developer Farbs -- creator of 8-bit videogame mashup Rom Check Fail and the later, similarly stylish Polychromatic Funk Monkey -- quit his mainstream job as gameplay programmer at 2K Australia in fitting fashion: he created a playable take on Super Mario Bros that delivers the message far better than any scathing letter could.

Play the letter here, and see Farbs' other creative output here.

I like the looped rendition of Daft Punk's One More Time at the end.

If he's going to be an indie dev he needs to work on those physics lol. Nice way to quit a job though, if only I could bombard my boss with psychedelic 8-bit resignations in real life :P

Is the mushroom you can't reach the "next level" in his career he was unable to attain at 2k Australia? How about being stuck in the ground? Unable to go to the next area?
