Impressive work for a game jam. 5 stars on 5

Simple but works well! gameplay loop is working. My Best score : 40

Graphics are amazing, such a big work on the opening cinematic. It looks 100% NES, Great work on music and art. 

Thank you for your feedbacks. Really appreciated. :) I missed time to finish the game and fix theses elements.But i will sure polish it after Gamejam. By the way, your project is excellent. Good job!

You mastered the NES art and music style. For a gamejam the game is polished with lot of content. Great Job. 

Art is very good. With more polish you can have a good game.

Excellent gameplay, graphics and Music, i had a lot of fun. Great Work!

Good work on the graphics and NES feel (music, art, UI). You nailed it. 

Good graphics and music but for gameplay , the boat move to slow. I don t see the link with the theme. good work!

I like the movement case by case and the music. A little detail : Nes graphics can be improved with the font. Use only 8 px font size and not scaled HUD elements. Good job.

I really like the graphics, and color palette. Character animation are nice too. I keep stuck in first enemy screen. Good job. One feedback, the vfx have too many sprites and frames to work on NES. 

Sorry for the heavy package (»300mb). It was done on Unreal Engine and i didn t find a way to make lighter package.

Good Game. You nailed the Game Jam Theme this year.

Best game i played for this NES Jam 2026. Everything is perfect. Pixel art : amazing, Gameplay, wow, i would love to see this on NES back in time. Audio fits perfectly the NES style chiptune. SFX and VFX are very good. And the palette color is here. I just finished the first level. But i will try it again and test the password system.
Which engine was used? Godot?

Good graphics and retro style . You did well. Archery is cool. 

Amazing game ! You did very well on it, graphics, music and prog. I d love to play it on OG NES console back in time. Congrats. 

Have fun! Don t hesitate if you have questions :)
