Very cool to see an NES entry!  Lots of character  for that reason.  There wasn't much content,  but it's a nice concept.  I think it would benefit from a Readme file with recommendations on emulators used in production and/or suggestions for getting that installed for anyone interested in playing.  Cool idea!

It made for some very interesting glitches. Either way, nice work! I don't know how easy NESMaker is to use but there's something playable here that runs on older consoles, which is cool.

There isn't much else to say as there wasn't much content, but the platforming felt solid.

Developer

yeah there are plenty glitches. A lot of it was beyond what I had any knowledge of.

Developer

thanks for your thoughts!

I apologize everyone, there was an error with the original rom. It is broken, and I will be uploading a fixed version of the rom shortly.

Like the rest of the comment section, I was not able to test the game, and I really wanted to give it a try 🙁

maybe you could try this https://www.matthughson.com/2020/07/17/nesdev-embedding-an-emulator-on-itch-io/ to allow more people to play  (no idea of it works though)

Mesen doesn't load your file. Usually I don't download emulators, but I downloaded it a while back to play FF1. Its a shame because I didn't know about NESmaker and was interested to see what someone could do with it.

If you do manage to fix the issue, let us know so we can play.

Developer

Sorry, that was an error on my part!! Hopefully it should be fixed now! I appreciate your enthusiasm and your patience!

Hope you enjoy!

I downloaded NES emulators just to try the game, but these were my results:

Neither Mesen, Nestopia UE nor QuickNES could launch the game.. I'm using RetroArch, so I tried without RetroArch. Standalone Mesen couldn't launch the game either.

So yeah.. this just falls flat as I can't play the game :\

If you have any tips as to how I could play it, let me know.

Developer

Sorry, that was entirely an error on my end! I apologize for the wait, but now there is a build up that should work!

I can't get it to play. I guess I have to use a NES emulator to play it right?

Developer

yes, you need an NES emulator to play this.

I would recommend you submit a .exe or some other executable. It's a bit difficult to rate a game when it's a bit difficult to play it.

Developer

I can’t submit a .exe, because it is a game for the NES. You need an emulator for it, that’s why I listed that in the download instructions.
