You must be an Atari lover :). Sounds are perfectly suited to an Atari game. The graphics too. Oh, the spiders ate me…
I had an Atari 8-bit for my whole childhood and I still miss it. I’m also a game developer and I made many games influenced by 8-bit games. I have only a few my games on my itch.io profile, but I have more on my own website. It’s so good fun to make games with 8-bit nostalgia.
Thanks for the feedback. I am actually a Commodore kid, but M.U.L.E. got me appreciating its typesetting more than the one built in the C64. Your interest in the game as well as someone else's recent comment makes me think I should pursue this project as an actual 6502 game.
This game was very much inspired by Jumpman and Loderunner. The idea came to me while brainstorming for a game jam--but I didn't develop it until later. I forget the jam theme--was probably something like "between worlds". And I had this idea of phasing between a platformer and a tile based game. I'm sure you could come up with a lot of ideas to make this combination fun.
I love truly retro games. I'll check your profile and website. Thanks!
I agree. I've hobby developed for the C64, NES, Apple II, and Atari 2600, but not yet for Atari 8-bit. But that's not to say I haven't studied up on it. And I purchased a copy of Mapping the Atari. I think you are right that it would suit the Atari computers. So I will give it a shot when time permits.
