Fun game! I really liked the music and art style! Unfortunately, the music was not playing during the game loop for me. This game would have also benefitted from tutorials or an explanation. I wasn't sure if you moved through the level or what items were dangerous and what I was supposed to collect. Please add credits for the art. If you made it give yourself some credit so we know! Lastly I would have really liked a leaderboard so I could see what scores other people were getting. Great work!

Cute NES game! Can't say I really see the theme in it (and sadly there's no music while playing), but I had a fun time playing!

Really cute NES styled game! Love the main character and all the hazards that slowly roll out! Could've used more sound effects (not just for collecting items or hazards doing things, but maybe even some NES sounding ocean/wave ambience if you don't want music during gameplay) and the score showing during gameplay, but other than that nice job!

But don't worry the game is still running fine

Very nice NES game. The music's very fitting and the sounds work perfectly. Got some addiction potential right there, hehe ^^
Great job!

Developer

Thank you for playing!

I'm glad you Liked  my game!

Very nicely evoked NES atmosphere. Bring back memories. I have only two complaints. The score isn't shown anywhere until a life is lost and I would have liked more sounds when a bubble pops or a chest is opened. A leaderboard would also be a welcome addition. Apart from that, everything else is very good. I enjoyed playing, the game is not too difficult and thank you for the nostalgia trip.

Perfect NES game!

It'll help to know where the next object would land. A few times a bomb fell right on my head unexpectedly LOL

Developer

Thank you for playing!
and yes all bombs are unexpected to fall but its a part of the difficulty, don't worry you will get used to it!

Cute game. I like how chill the game was until various hazards like the ocean wave, seagulls, and bouncing electric sparks started to make the game more hectic. 

Developer
