This is another example of what happens when a game maker focuses on making a game LOOK, FEEL, SOUND and PLAY like an NES game, which is exactly what this jam is all about. You have something here that could have easily been a $19.99 game found in stores!
This is one of the shining examples of an NES Jam game entry done right!
Notes:
- I noticed a weird bug when trying to jump through a thin floor; not only did I not go through the floor, your script for centering the map to the player shook for a little bit.
- Kinda weird to see the assassin look like he is spasming while falling.
- Bonus Point: Yay, a pause button!
- Bonus Point: I like the thunder effect and the way it shook up the palette in the game.
- Bonus Point: Among the most creative musics of all the submissions I have reviewed!
