This one is really cool, I love the idea and it was funny watching them blast each other in the face lol. This one is my favorite submission :D

I got a rare one :P

Thanks so much :D I'll probably add stuff like the total amount of enemies you killed and other score related things.

Thank you for all the kind words. So, the enemies don't actually shoot back at you. At least not yet. I wanted some of the challenge to come from whatever loadout you got. I'll definitely add more to this in the future. The three icons on the left are this;

• Top is your shot type. There's normal, spreadshot, splitshot, and what I call Firework shot. The latter two emit additional projectiles in those patterns after the bullet hits the enemy.
• The middle icon is what kind of projectile you fire from your gun. They each act completely differently, and I believe there are nine of them.
• The bottom icon is your firing mode. So normal fire is basically a steady paced rate of fire, Rapid fire, and then a 3-round burst. 

Sorry for the info barf lol.

That's a good idea. I thought about adding stats at the end showing how many enemies were killed and how many shots were fired. I honestly kinda forgot 😅 Thank you for the feedback!

Thank you bacon man :D

Thanks :D

Props for making a real NES rom! Very cool

Thank you! I wanted a cool charge up phase to it. I thought that would make it more interesting :D

I love the Zelda 2 inspo, that game is pretty underrated in my opinion. I like the character designs and this really seems like it took a lot of work and effort to make. Awesome game :O

I love the desert aesthetic in the beginning and the character is really cool! I liked it a lot. Fun little platformer

This was such a fun little game. It really reminded me of Tiny Toon Adventures on the NES. I love scarecrows so that was definitely a plus lol and the music was great! The little guy with the spike on his head threw me for a loop lol

No worries because I'm very beginner-ey at making music and stuff too. For my game, I used two instruments for my whole song ;-;

Thank you so much :D The early Castlevania games are some of my favorite. When I think of the NES, those games are what instantly comes to mind. Even though I know this game doesn't really play like Castlevania, I still wanted a kinda fantasy, spooky vibe with some funny moments. Your idea for major checkpoints is a good one. Thanks again for playing and leaving feedback! 

This one right here had some rockin' tunes and riveting, run & gun,  enemy blasting action >:O When I started it up, I exclaimed "OH Yeah it's Contra style!" Also the UI and ship graphics look amazing :D

So far, this one really felt like it could have been an NES game back in the day. I think you really hit the nail on the head in terms of NES feel! You did a ton of cutscenes for this, great job :O

This one was pretty cool! I really liked the color palette you went with. I also used purple and reds in mine, yours looks very vibrant and the color combo just gives it a real retro feel. I liked all the different enemy types and I thought the attack animation was SO smooth. Having multiple songs is always a great touch as well :D

I have to say, I'm a big fan of spooky themes and graveyards and such. I think the character design is great and I like the rolling eyeballs as an enemy. Overall, it was a pretty fun little game that hit the NES vibe. My one main critique would be that the sound effects are kinda hard on the ears at times, but other than that, I thought this was pretty cool :D

I would say try refreshing the page 😭sorry about that

Thanks a lot for all the feedback! This was my first Jam ever and I was super excited to do it because I love NES games and the early Castlevania games, especially Simon's Quest. So I thought the theme was perfect for me. This was also the first game I've ever released to the public. I've been working on games for a couple years now, but this was the first one that I've finished. I really appreciate that you took the time to beat it twice! I'm so so glad you had fun with it.  Thank you again for the kind words!

With only a couple days left in the jam, I'm almost finished with the game and I've come to realize that my composing skill is probably at level 2 out of 100. I was wondering if anyone was still free to team up? I only need one song for my game. If not, that's totally cool. Apologies for asking last minute

Would you be open to helping me out? It's just me making the game and doing all the art... I'm not too good at the music part lol. I only need 1 song for my game

I'm using Gdevelop to make the game. They have a few different bitmap fonts that will work great for the NES style. I was wondering if I'm allowed to use those premade fonts or do I have to make my own. Thank ya
