Yes! Some folks on YouTube have done it with flashcarts!

Thank you for your kind words! The new boss does have a name - I had originally planned to reveal it in a series of videos about the fangame's development, but video editing takes a looooong time! I think I'll be writing a large blog post about it sometime, and the reveal will take place there. In the meantime, it's fun seeing what names people make up for the boss!

Hahaha! Nicely done! Thank you for playing my little game!

Thank you so much for your lovely words! I'm glad it struck such a chord with you!

Whoa, that looks awesome!! Happy hunting, I'm sure there are plenty of glitches you can find in there!

Awesome! Super cool it works on famicom too!

If anyone needs memory offsets for useful variables for tracking achievements etc, tell them to get in touch! Although maybe some of the fun is in finding it out manually..?

I do, but I'd like to tidy it up and add better comments first, so that it's easier to change into something else if anyone wants to!

Mostly C with the CC65 compiler, and a little assembly to fill some gaps!

I do have a name for him, but I'm more interested in seeing what everyone else comes up with!

Thank you! I am actually planning on doing that at some stage, so I'll link it on this page when it's done!

the MUD returneth...

Y'know, I was *just* thinking about how much I loved Ninjah all those years back and googled it on a whim, to see you'd made this only this year. Awesome!

Awesome! Looking forward to the new animation features for coastlines.

Absolutely lovely art, and a fun grappling mechanic too! Nice work!

That's one hungry lil' fella! Nice little game, I like the star ranking system! It's also fun how the music gets more instruments when you eat more of the gelataliens.

Lovely polished interface, and a really interesting game. Quite challenging, but very enjoyable! It was really fun using objects like the TV to plan ahead and nail the scales right in the x10 zone. I'm really impressed by this!

Really awesome to see an ant simulation game! I love just how many ants you can get roaming around after a while, it feels really cool to see them all streaming around over everything. So good!

A most devious little gnome indeed! I laughed out loud when I got eaten by the cat the first time, the tiny cut-off scream and simple death screen was great.

It's a pretty hard life to be a gnome, it seems! Lovely little game, and it's fun to dodge the big boots and garden hose jets.

Really great; a consistent and stylish visual identity with an interesting theme and a quite literal interpretation of the theme and the thumb-on-the-scale idiom. Fantastically polished, well done!

Great idea! Like a very sharp, stabby katamari. Nice and consistent art too, good job!

I feel like I learned something I shouldn't have. Par excellence.

Cute little robot!

Nice work! It's interesting to see a Scratch game. Keep it up!

Interesting game about building mesh networks! Quite tricky to make sure all the nodes have a good connection, well done!

I love the cute little Capybara! Don't get squished!

Fun idea! The crunchy text-to-speech is great, and I liked trying to size things up with my tapemeasure. I tried to be as fair as I could to the workers, but alas... those swings were just too short...

Stunningly polished for the short jam timespan. I'm blown away by this! Also, that's the same model of Polaroid camera I have in my desk drawer! Really fun to see it brought to life here. Excellently spooky, and the kind of thing I'd expect to see on the Haunted PS1 Demo Disc compilations! Awesome work!

Although the controls were a little bit fiddly, I had a great time with this! I love Pete's design, and it's a great idea letting the player directly control the scaling gizmo this way. Really interesting trying to figure out clever ways to climb up to high places!

As a 3D printer owner, I swear that this is actually what's going on inside there. Cute little game, I like the way you look around and physically have to pull the levers to change the sizes of the parts - that always feels good! Well done to your team!

A tricky but fun platformer with a unique take on the scaling mechanic, by making it an obstacle to account for. Nice work!

This was really fun! The switching between top-and-bottom parts to stretch and scale your way around is really neat, and I super-duper love the framing of people sharing music on music forums as a narrative aesthetic.

This absolutely rules. I love the incremental-game-style upgrade progression and the active gameplay of maintaining my glorious pumbo and scaring off the birds. Also the art is lovely - the pumbo itself makes me think of PS1-era prerendered scaled sprites like in Tomba, Klonoa, and so on. Absolutely great!

Impressive game mechanics and lovely crisp black & white art. Nice work!

Really fun narrative-driven puzzle game. I really like the art, it's very cute!

Really great take on the theme - the world being the interface of a DAW and jumping on the piano roll notes is really unique, I loved it!

Interesting concept for a tower defense, and executed well. I really liked the Wave tower and the way you could push enemies around to group them together and keep them away from the fractal. Good job!

All the cute and goofy creatures reminded me of Spore; I had a few scary moments where I nearly got sandwiched between two giant monsters! Nice work!
