AYYY, I JUST MADE A COMMENT WONDERING IF ANYONE MADE A GAME FOR OLD CONSOLES. Smart af, I got it running. Good job.
I am absolutely amazed that someone would create a SNES game in this day and age. Along with Dreamcast, SNES is my all time favourite console :D Oh, and the game is cool as well! It was a nice little nostalgia trip.
I also have a crush for the SNES. This entry is the most original I have tested so far. Make the cartridge jump from one slot to another is pretty chanllenging. The collision system is not forgiving at all. But that spices up the whole thing. I really enjoyed playing your game. So cool :smiley:
YES! Another LD entry for a retro console! I thought I was the only one who bothered making a retro game this time. And a fun little game to boot :) Only thing I'd have added is variable jump height by pressing the jump button longer, but it's just a small nitpick. Great job!
Surprisingly addictive!
Very good job and nice feel. Felt a bit like a rage game tho
I like this kind of little-quick-funny game ! Nice to see some retro games in there. Thanks for the fun!
I did not expect to see an entry for a retro console to appear. The collision is indeed a bit difficult to wrestle with, but I'm impressed it plays really well, looks good too, good job!
Amazed by the entry created for SNES. Give me a good feeling. Also cool game!
I got so thrilled when i read about a retro console entry! I like the toaster effect where the game pops in the air xD good job
The game itself wasn't too much, but it's amazing that it's actually a game for an old console. Max points for the theme for that. =D
Literally keeping a console alive by making a game where you have to keep that console alive has to be one of the most creative approaches to theme i've seen yet. nice job!
Nice man, did you use a emulator to put it on your tv? or is it in your real snes? ksa.png
Wow really nice, I never had heared about that PVSnesLib library. Im very new to the homebrew world and during this game jam I made my second game boy advance game ever. Apparently we had the same idea only my game is called "Keep the Gameboy alive".
The source code of your game looks very much like mine from a first glance. I use Tonc, http://coranac.com/tonc/text/video.htm as a basis instead of PVSnesLib. So im devinely going to give that library you used a try, some day in the future. The source code of my code is available here if you are wondering or if you want to play it. https://github.com/timostrating/Ludumdare46
Specially the message that you got this done in 10 hours is very impressive btw. That just really shows that once you know what you are doing and understand how these old schools homebrew things work you can make things very quick.
1min51 :v: !!! Fun game, get a little boring after one minutes ;). Simple but effective.
Not sure if it was intentional or it's something on my end, but the music was really crackly and was hard to listen to. Otherwise the game itself was simple but innovative in my opinion.
This was definitely not how I remember the SNES working.
Awesome entry! Love the idea, the theme integration, and just everything about the game! I love that there's people so dedicated to their childhood consoles that they still make games for them.
The gameplay wasn't very appealing, but this is one of the best theme interpretations I've ever seen on a jam
lol haha I love the concept, keeping the SNES alive. the game is pretty fun even if I stink at it. I was actually surprised when I failed b/c I didn't line up the cartridge haha. I was like well that makes sense I probably broke the cartridge.
One thing that was a little hard is trying to figure out which one is the lowest. might of been helpful to have something to indicate the lowest one, or possible when any gets below 40% they are red or something like that.
but for 10 hours this is a pretty solid game.
OMG this is a great concept. A great take on the theme. I wish the the game was a bit more forgiving on landing the cartridge, but otherwise good job!
great! and big cheers for taking extra mile for doing this on old platform!
Wow! The gameplay is a bit boring to be perfectly honest, but the gimmick of running on a SNES was absolutely astonishing! I played this on my SNES mini to add to the retro feeling and it fit really well! Great entry!
The theme is brilliant but the gameplay does get a bit boring after a while.
Really cool concept and execution, I also love the SNES. No wonder you opted out in the audio category tho
Great work! It's like the new Flappy Bird
A true Embrase of the Theme, Bravo!
Fit perfectly with the theme. Good job
Very nice use of theme!
This was fun, SNES was my favorite console ever. Some good vibes playing this, great work. Unique take on the them also, I wish you had to also blow in the cartridge to help keep it alive haha
A great use of the theme. If I could I would leave SNES alive forever! Simple game, well done and with the particularity of being a game about SNES made for real SNES. The soundtrack fits very well with the game style and games of the original console. With the addition of obstacles and difficulties, a commercial game would become very easy.
Congratulations on the idea.
Simple concept, fun game! I included it in my Ludum Dare 46 compilation video series, if you want to take a look. :) https://youtu.be/YzvpDVUnHwU
It did take a time to understand what I had to do, but when I found it I could move the cartridge in the air it was so much fun! It's also incredible that this is an actual SNES Game, the graphics are pretty and so the movement, well done!
I love the music, art and the twist on the theme! I played it longer than I thought. Very well done!
Interesting, I didn't know you could still make games for the SNES. The sound isn't great, but the movement is pretty fun.
Extra points for making a game for the SNES, new games for old consoles always so awesome to see!
Nice Game but a bit lame. Sorry i think the Game need some kind of enemy or power ups. I like the music. Nice Concept! Sorry for my bad english ;-).
Interesting interpretation of the theme. Nice music and graphics, fits perfectly together. However, keeping the the cartridge alive seems harder than the 4 SNES.
Another game to laugh at my aim accuracy :D
This game is amazing! Really enjoyed playing it, the music and graphics pair well together. Congrats!
Haha, love this! I really like the idea of making a new game for a retro console. Very well done! :smile:
Love the idea, great take on the theme. I do think the game is slightly unforgiving and having the S button as the jump button was a weird choice in my opinion. Overall good job!
Oh boy this was hard! Hahaha, nice entry I love the art style and the music. I think you could have changed the image of the game displayed on the TV to a different image each time and reference other snes games, that would definitely kept me playing for longer just to see how many games I could recognize. But other than that, excellent entry.
Nice! Took a while to get the hang of it - ended up at 52 seconds I think. Always appreciate a game made for an old system. Learning NextBASIC at the moment for the new ZX Spectrum.
I scored 1:19, simple and entertaining game, good job! (especially in so less time)
DUDE ! Me and my friend started to create a game on SNES last year. Still not done but it's nice to don't be alone !!!
Good game, but it is really hard to play and gets repetitive and boring after a while.
Very nice interpretation of the theme ! With a nes this wouldn't have worked :joy:
What an amazing idea! Great stuff!
Nice! I'd only point out that below 10%, it displays two "%" ("9%%", "8%%" etc.).
Great concept! Cool to see something developed for an old console.
Yay SNES! Love the famicom style. Graphics were chunky fab. "Shlack" is my new fav sound effect- tho whne I played on HTML the sounds seemed to bug out. All-in-all, simple, nostalgic, and prolly one of the most real representations of the them this LD. Way to go!
The graphics are great, the music is great, the gameplay is fun, everything about this game is great!
Nice interpretation of the theme, and cool graphics and sounds - and done in 10hrs? Amazing. Great job! :thumbsup:
You really need to be on the ball with your... jump targeting? It was fun for a minute or two. No bugs as far as I can tell, very simple but seems to work well.
Great idea making a snes game, 5/5 on innovation!
