I really liked this! Feels like a proper NES game. I'd definitely enjoy playing a more fleshed out version of this, it seems like the box stacking mechanic has some good potential for making interesting puzzles/level designs. Nice idea and nice work!

okay I laughed pretty hard when the cat just shot off with my pizza. Creative mechanic!

I really liked the game! It really felt like a NES game, and the graphics and sound effects are really cool. The core mechanic is great too, provided me with some a-ha moments, even though it was a short game. I could see this idea being expanded further! Congratulations :D

Interesting choice to make it in NES format! I beat it but couldn't manage to get a perfect score on the last level, dang cat...

sugarsugarsugar 2023-05-02 03:52

The art and sound effects fits perfectly, and I really like the enemy AI as well. Going all the way back to the start multiple times in a level could get annoying but overall, a pretty fun game.

I really like the mechanics, I hope you continue this project, maybe have puzzles with buttons or something? GG

I loved seeing the critters buzzing off with your food hahaha! Simple but I liked it :D The graphics were the best in your projects thus far by the way! Shame there was no music but the sound effects were cute and fit the mood really well. I too would love to see a more fleshed out version of this down the line.

10/10 for making a NES rom of all things. In 72 hours. Wow, mad respect! Love the critters and puzzle mechanics :)

Nice platformer.. Hate the cats :laughing:.. Pretty cool that is a NES game!

jvdwijk 2023-05-02 18:50

Nice entry! Almost had a perfect, except for the 2nd to last level that went completely wrong (I fell twice :') )

kirkami 2023-05-02 22:27

WOW! A legit finished looking NES Game in just LD is really amazing stuff

andreadbx 2023-05-03 14:31

A legit nes game in 2023 it's something to see! Kudos!

Eu sempre gosto das suas ideias. Eu admiro muito a sua coragem em desenvolver jogos pro NES. Uma pena que não teve música dessa vez. Algumas pessoas ficaram sem comida, mas os pássaros tem que comer também, né? Parabéns!

tetrapteryx 2023-05-03 16:01

Great concept! The mechanics and enemies made for some really interesting and challenging puzzles, and it's SO cool that you made an actual NES game! I would totally play a longer version of this.

potkirland 2023-05-03 22:03

very thankful for you creating and sharing an NES game! thanks alot it really brings back memories! love the stuff.

augmotic 2023-05-04 01:32

Thanks for hanging out in the stream and bringing your game!

Here is a link to the VOD that starts at your section. https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1810812417?t=02h49m05s

This was great, super happy to see someone build a NES rom for a jam, thats literally insane to me.

Here's the VOD with timestamps enabled! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Q21Hk6Ww7E

spacespytv 2023-05-04 16:36

Good stuff, NES graphics hit me in the feels, you did it perfectly! Box mechanic was clever.

Thanks for submitting your game on the stream! Here’s the stream if you wanted to re-watch initial thoughts (timestamps in the description to jump to your game!) [youtube link](youtu.be/7zAPBeiWuqA)

najimi 2023-05-04 22:26

Love the old NES feeling! Would have loved a bit more levels, but it was really fun :)

bodhiagora 2023-05-04 22:57

Impressive doing this as a rom! Love the vibe and the character of the world, great job!

jitspoe 2023-05-05 01:12

First try: $166 in tips with $10 loss for a total of $156. Also, I think I technically died as I fell into an endless pit with only a small supply of food, but at least I made some money.

conduit 2023-05-05 03:16

Absolutely stellar NES vibes with this one, while the gameplay loop was a conventional one, it definitely felt like a case of "if it ain't broke, don't fix it". Also, the way the animals zoomed off with your food was really funny.

yellowkamel 2023-05-05 14:03

Thanks for submitting! Interesting choie to make an NES game in this jam. Really liked the game, even though I am bad at it. :v:

phosu 2023-05-05 15:35

Felt nostalgic playing this game :) The controls seem a bit unintuitive, but otherwise quite solid entry

johnsensei 2023-05-06 01:54

Saw this game featured on a stream. Great job. One of my favorites so far. The mechanics were introduced logically one at a time and I thought it was fair that you progressed a level even if you didn't get a perfect score.

nardandas 2023-05-06 08:24

Really cool NES entry! I really liked the mechanics around avoiding the different hazards, once I understood them. At first I thought they'd be unfair, but they were actually all fair and fun to play against. Good job!

rincs 2023-05-06 16:20

Simple puzzles, and cute. Birds and cats are mean. u _ u I thought it was neat that the game still continued despite lost boxes, but it felt a little meaningless as there wasn't a true drawback to it.

honest-dan 2023-05-06 21:22

I think this is one of your best entries, in terms of combining puzzle elements, platforming and pacing. Glad to have tried it out on stream, thanks for being there <3

rookrules 2023-05-07 01:47

that cat just nipped that box out of my hands "meow ya later" 4/5

ategon 2023-05-07 06:30

Thanks for submitting your game to be played on the stream! If you wanted to watch my reaction again here’s the vod timestamped to your game https://youtu.be/iOvkquUaMjs?t=11620

justcamh 2023-05-07 15:12

Damn you got the full streamer coverage, nice. I didn't realise that the goal was score, and when the cat stole a package, I assumed I'd lost rather than simply lost score. It's an interesting approach to a level based game that I don't think I've seen before. Here's a vod that you can rewatch the stream;

poshdan 2023-05-07 20:04

Played this on stream, I was thoroughly impressed with the fact that this game also came as an NES rom! Would've loved a way to quickly replay a level (as I had an imperfect score on the last level), but it wasn't really a thing in NES times, so fair enough. Great job on delivering a game with such technical challenges in such a short time!

ausstein 2023-05-07 21:50

Thank you so much for dropping by My stream! I really enjoyed the game :)

mateusboga 2023-05-08 22:15

Simple but well-done game! I enjoyed playing in on stream :D Here's the VOD: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1814982165

bloodbane 2023-05-10 08:04

Damn bird! I had to jump like crazy to shoo it away from my boxes. Anyways, good puzzle platform game! The last level was tricky and I had to restart to complete it perfectly.

2023-05-11 11:01

Fun little game! I included it in my Ludum Dare 53 compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look. https://youtu.be/Q3lvQ8g3OHA

raptor851 2023-05-17 11:43

Was not expecting the cat to steal the food, lol

Pretty good, you can cheat quite a bit to not have to backtrack by stacking boxes then overlapping the tile you stacked them on and picking them back up. Could have used some music but I get the press for time!
