You wrote this in 6502 assembly? That is insane and awesome.

2013-08-26 02:03

This game is really cool, but just my two cents, I would have liked a button that kills your guy, so if I miss a jump, I don't have to just wait for him to die.

frankbsad 2013-08-26 02:11

It's pretty cool and the fact you wrote it in 6502 assembly is crazy.

megashroom 2013-08-26 02:12

That was pretty fun.
And you wrote it in under 6 hours, right?

siat 2013-08-26 02:41

This was so fun! Nice level design, controls were a little... twitchy.

isharacomix 2013-08-26 02:50

@awenonian: Yeah, a few of my friends said the same thing. That feature wasn't really something I considered until I actually made the levels. :)

@megashroom: I think I spent about 14 hours altogether at the computer.

@slat: Yeah, if I had more time, I would have tried to make it so you didn't need frame-perfect timing to play. :)

bushmango3 2013-08-26 03:05

I wish there was a button to kill your guy before 10 seconds :)

spelchan 2013-08-26 03:39

Its been a long time since I wrote assembly language so looking at your source code brought back fond memories. I just played the web version so had to leave the sound category blank. Interesting concept though the thought of climbing on the backs of your dead failures could be considered disturbing. Great entry.

Great concept and coding it in NES assembly is an incredible feat. Only issue I had with the game is that the size of the jumps seemed random and things moved too quickly and finicky.

tacospice 2013-08-26 04:46

Very cool. Jumps need some "hang time" though probably.

nvictum 2013-08-26 04:46

Simple but great game :> Nice work!

kaype 2013-08-26 05:17

That's great seeing new games being made with older materials. This actually makes me want to program in assembly again!

triforcespark 2013-08-26 05:46

The puzzles aren't that difficult, but it can have the potential to have good puzzles.
I wish it had a "skip the whole 10 seconds" button, to make the game faster. Also a restart button. Map it to either B or SELECT.
For some reason, the game is buggy in Nestopia. Works fine on FCEUX.

I still can't believe someone would be able to make a game on assembly. On a Ludum Dare compo.

kaldrick 2013-08-26 07:30

It's crazy that you wrote that in 6502 assembly, and it's admirable, that you made a game for SNES - I also like how you connected the other theme, death is useful ;)

josefnpat 2013-08-26 08:01

You fantastic son of a bitch. All it needs is a countdown timer! Great job!

doonay21 2013-08-26 08:15

6502 assembly... You are insane! :)

paraple-geek 2013-08-26 08:28

I love the idea, really adictive.
I had fun time playing your game!

nandor 2013-08-26 09:53

A countdown timer would make a nice addition

dioiminik 2013-08-26 10:36

Very interesting Game :) The fact that it's written in 6502 assembly makes it really unique and awesome

loerden 2013-08-26 11:35

That you wrote this in Assembly is insane!

just-tom 2013-08-26 12:58

The Theme seems to hold back the game play, the time trial-ing is fun but coupled with that is waiting in a pit for 10 seconds. That being said, it was still easily fun to play until the end, I enjoyed this game. All that's really missing a suicide or next guy button, though I understand that would have diminished the theme.

And of course, wow, 6502 assembly. Yeah, have some stars. That you built it in assembly is cool, but that it was still genuinely fun, pretty and innovative just makes it brilliant.

acrimiens 2013-08-26 14:25

Cool idea!

c0nfused 2013-08-26 14:47

very nice little game.

delca 2013-08-26 17:14

I could not rate the audio (shame on me, I do not have a NES emulator on this PC), but the game (and the way you made it) was awesome !
(on a totally unrelated topic, we interpreted the theme in a very similar way. But doing it in Java is not as cool as doing a NES game)

schulles 2013-08-26 17:23

Man, 6502 assembly! :O

kapoty 2013-08-26 17:47

I do not get as much play.

frozencow 2013-08-26 18:10

Cool! Didn't know about #8bitmooc, that's pretty cool to do Ludum in. The game itself felt a bit too fast @ 60 fps, but still fun to play (60 fps made it challenging)

lancey 2013-08-26 19:58

A good idea, and spectacular that you wrote it in assembly. The theme works against the game though. If you keep developing this, definitely try to tighten the controls a bit!

mutuware 2013-08-26 20:12

I'll just browse the source. Uh..uhuh. Yep, makes no sense :D
It's fun to play. Mad props!

zappi 2013-08-26 21:50

Maaan, I'll rate it high just because it's written in bloody assembly in 48 hours!! :)

rincewind_cz 2013-08-26 21:51

Awesome!

refreshcreations 2013-08-26 22:01

Whoa in 6502 asm....you're amazing!

jhelle 2013-08-26 22:25

Great job creating an actual nes game. That couldn't have been easy. Love the concept too.

samcord 2013-08-26 23:00

awesome achievement

h_double 2013-08-27 00:00

Unfortunately the NES version wouldn't run right in Nestopia for me. Web version works okay but it felt like it takes way longer than 10 sec to die (a die button would have been handy). Overall this is an awesomely ambitious entry and the general concept could definitely be expanded into something cool!

7soul 2013-08-27 02:26

Tested it on a couple of emulators but it didn't work well. It was laggy, crashed a few times and the sprites blinked a lot. Worked well on chrome

jishenaz 2013-08-27 04:49

This must have been hard to make! And yet the game design is great and it's fun. Awesome work. There was of rare bug where I could go through some wall, but I figured assembly language would be extremely difficult to debug.

folmerkelly 2013-08-28 09:27

As a non-technical dude I didn't really care about what it was made with, and I honestly wasn't expecting much... but somehow I really really really dig this thing, it just clicks for me.

hd408 2013-08-28 12:33

Good that you made a "Web" version of it. Not much of an innovation here, but no bugs, and looks cool.

matthias_zarzecki 2013-08-28 13:06

Nes-Game? Awesome!

savethejets1 2013-08-29 05:21

This is crazy awesome. It's doubly great that you've provided a playground for teaching others!

rawbits 2013-09-16 18:14

Nice! It's good to see that 8bitmooc works.

When I jump and hit a platform from below it sticks until I release the jump button. In this state I can not move but if I stuck on a previous entity then they can move together. I don't know if it's a bug or not but it's wierd.
