Lil' Digger 3: It's a Trilogy!

Oh shit this is a real NES game, that's super cool! I've wanted to do a PS Vita homebrew game myself for LD, but the last few times I've tried, I ran into time issues since having to work with a custom engine on top of making the game is not easy. I imagine NES development is many times harder than on the supercomputer that is a Vita by comparison, so I'm definitely impressed.

The game itself was short and sweet. I actually like that there's no item to extend the time. Deciding whether to take the risk and run down a path, or wait 10 seconds for the next level change (and hope the path in front of you opens up) is a pretty interesting mechanic. I definitely think it's more fun than simply walking through a linear maze would be.

The music was excellent, and the graphics were too. Overall I had fun with this, so good job!!

That's pretty cool, nice job on getting an NES game done =). I had tons of trouble on the Ocean, the map generator _kept_ generating a new map where my only path was away from the exit, I'd go 5 seconds down it, not make any progress, come back to where I was, and let it re-generate, and I'd always be just a couple steps from the exit... Does it make the map starting from where the character is and intentionally make it a long way to the exit, or did I just keep getting unlucky? ^_^ I wish the movement was a little smoother, I kept getting stuck on corners.

Music was nice, I didn't realize you could get that kind of sound out of an NES!
