Note: https://jsnes.org can also be used as an in-browser NES emulator, but its performance is not always as good as native emulators.

I highly recommend having a gamepad configured for the emulator, the game feels a lot better than with keyboard controls.
Hey, that's amazing. Can't imagine me doing anything of this in 3 days.
The game is simple but perfectly conveys the retro atmosphere of snes.
Daaaaaamn dude... Really impressed that you coded this up for the NES in a weekend.
Super impressive. Had a lot of fun once I got used to the jumping. Also what @maloy said. Way better with a pad.
Cool to see an NES game! I somehow managed to jump over one of the life doors without touching it and got to the next screen....
I'm impressed! Making me think I want to try NES next jam. Good job!! Only missing piece? Background music/sound.
Neat. I wasted a ton of lives trying to get my jumping right lol. +1
Feels like a NES game. Neat!
I like that it is so true to the feeling of playing a nes game. It really looks like one, like the original legend of zelda or something, but unfortunelly i had no sound. I don't know ,if it was intentionally, but i actually found the strange jump mechanic funny and it let the game feel even older. It hitted the theme, but it wasn't really engaging and didn't hold me for long. But over all, the style, mood and graphiics got me to love it
I love it !
Yess, another NES game! I love seeing retro games in the compo/jam; I feel like the limitations tend to lead to a very focused and complete game.
The gameplay was simple and effective, and I liked the basic sound effects. (which don't show up in the web-based emulator; more on that in a sec...) The graphics looked pretty fantastic. For a first NES game ever, this is really impressive! You should be proud. I hope you had fun making this, and I hope I'll see more from you some day! I really liked this entry.
To note, JSNes doesn't do a great job with sound - I used it for a pretty long time. One of the folks on the NintendoAge discord made his own js emulator called [Nez](https://github.com/Sumez/nez) that does audio right, and I basically swear by it at this point. I made some tweaks to it that make it easier to set it up to host your own game. Here's [my version](https://github.com/cppchriscpp/nez) -- no pressure on using it; just wanted to share the option!
Not bad for a first NES game. Obviously it can look much better but I appreciate the effort in coding your first NES game for LD of all things
