Loved it! Classic homage. Mostly could have been done on the 2600 except scrolling likely. Having a blast playing!
You may like my WHO STOLE THE COAL? on Pico-8, same vibe, homage to the Atari 2600 games I played as a kid. Tim Schafer called it "his favorite holiday game", which is great until you realize there aren't many holiday games. :D
