This was a fun little puzzle game. I wish there was more to it though, the challenge could have been much greater :)
FWIW it worked perfectly on my NTSC NES using an Everdrive N8 Pro

Incredibly impressed with the authenticity here. Great polish and presentation, great mechanics, fun gameplay, and just all around home run with this. Bonus points for the authentic audio here, the true 5 tracks that existed on the NES. I'm blown away that you made this in two weeks!
Just so you know, this game is unplayable in Edge, but worked perfectly in Chrome.

Smoke & MirrorsThe throwing head mechanic with the platforming twist is so good, I loved how you targeted the original NES audience for this, which is very nostalgic ahah. Retroness is nice, the execution and polish is really good. Good job!!!!

Pumkin LovestorySo much fun, and the head-throwing mechanic is amazing! Really loved this one all the way through, and it's super impressive that it was made to run on the NES! The artwork is also fantastic. Fantastic job!

Haunted House PartyGreat mechanic, fun little puzzles and truly amazing execution here—it's so cool to see someone make a game here using 6502 to target the original NES! I'm gonna need to get out my Everdrive to give this one a play on a real console next. Thanks for making and sharing!
