I noticed that, while most platforms have their exclusive tag, MS-DOS games share a tag with non-MS-DOS games that just look like MS-DOS.

I like to download MS-DOS games and play them in my 386, and it's very frustrating to see an appealing "MS-DOS" game only to discover that it's a game for modern Windows systems that just looks like an MS-DOS game. At least, I can tell before downloading because of the ridiculous size of the download file... But when I browse MS-DOS games, I want to see only games that will work on actual MS-DOS.

Can a new tag be created that only includes real MS-DOS games??

Thanks for your comments. I'm taking note of all suggestions for a future release after the Jam is over. 

I made the game in about a week, with gbdk using only C with no prior experience in programming GB games. I made it just for the pleasure of doing so. I didn't even know about the Jam when I finished the game.  I posted the finished game on a forum, and someone suggested I could enter the Jam since I made the whole thing within the dates. So here it is!

Thanks again for your support!

Hi,

How do I climb the ladder? I stand right in front of it, press up (or A or B), and it won't go up. Thanks.

Thanks for your suggestions. I made the game for fun and to learn how to program a GB game in C. When I made the game, back in August, I had free time, now I'm a little bit bussy. However, I want to eventually make some cartridges, so I will definitely try to make some corrections before I do so. 

1. Iirc, the first monster is the only one that makes random moves, and yes, it's possible that sometimes it gets stuck in a particular area  of the screen. I'll change that. 

2. Yes, that's something I wanted to do when I had time. The way it works right now is that the more sprites on screen at the same time, the less smooth their movements are. That's because they don't move at the same time (in the code, that is), so making them go in smoother movements would slow down the game. It's done like this because when I started programming, I didn't think I would end up making a game. It can be corrected, but I need to find some time because it's not something quick to do.

3. Well, I like it like this. Perhaps, I can add an option to make the sprite bigger by pressing select or something, so everyone who plays the game can choose between two or three sizes.

Thanks again for you feedback!
