Really cool game! Capped it off at 16630 cos i assume it's endless.
I LOVE the soundtrack. Those bitcrushed drums are going hard lol. and the dynamic transitions into and out of the pyramid HIT so well. I'm a little... skeptical this music is possible on an NES given some of the sounds and definite presence of stuff like reverb but it sounds FANTASTIC
My biggest difficulty was not being able to jump while rolling, even though jump+roll was an expected move. Whenever I died it was always a very tight jump.
I gotta say that transition into the pyramid was SUPER impressive, slick and unexpected in a really good way.
NESwise I think you did a great job with the palette limitations and art. The multilevel parallax as it is likely isn't possible and some of the color blending in the pyramid might be too smooth but overall I think it's very doable.
Overall though it's super fun and definitely leaves an impression, great work!!
This game is very fun and once I got the hang of it was having a blast. I think showing the player can only jump at the start of a dash should probably be telegraphed by palette swap or animation just to make it much more clear where the window is, but overall had a great time with this one.
I did 1 million "just one more run" ;) the game sure is addictive. My highscore has been 24294 points so far.
This is sort of a perfect arcade game loop (but it also perfectly feels like a NES game). I like the music, I like the different sequences and the different scarab curses. The speed increases at the right pace.
Thanks for sharing!
I wish the character was able to jump from the ball form! The controls seemed a little difficult to use. The screen seemed to overtake the character and then he was off screen. Rolling worked a bit but then having to come out of the roll to jump was awkward.
The artwork looked nice
Great! I had a lot of difficulty!
cool game!
Very fun to play.Really like the visuals.
Feel like in the 80's. Cool game, I liked it.
Fun auto-runner I like the visuals especially when you enter the pyramids and I thought the roll jump for extra distance was fun to pull off.
Very impressed with the visual after I entered the temple! sharp gameplay, will surely come back to beat my score!
I liked the new mechanics to the auto-runner genre this game brought! I like the audio also, but it also doesn't exactly feel as a NES game. Other aspects are good tho!
This was super neat and fun! Loved the variation of needing to switch between types of jumps and it was so cool going into the dark area for the first time. Thank you!
I particularly like how well-made the soundtrack is. It took me longer than it should have to learn how to press A and B together to jump further, but overall, I found it all quite fun, especially when you reach the dark area.
