FYI: There was a big update to NES Puzzle Maker which improves what can be done with it. See the full update here: https://puzzle.nes.science/home

  • Customize the HUD! (top area) All features can be toggled, and custom graphics can be used
  • Add up to 14 custom "Other" screens to introduce your team, tell your story, introduce mechanics, or show more credits
  • Better custom music support: up to 16 songs, played at any time! (Music size limit upped to 10kb, too)
  • New tile types: walkable holes, and collapsible tiles (become a hole after being walked over once)
  • Level review screen, allowing you to switch the order of levels, and see all of them at a glance
  • For developers: Switched game engine to create-nes-game, allowing one-command builds on windows and linux. No more downloading and setting up cygwin, make or any of that messiness. It should just work!

NOTE: As of 1.4.0 there is a special "flag" you need to set in order to make the ROM compatible with this competition. ROMs made with NES Puzzle Maker prior to 1.4 are compatible as well.
