How are we even supposed to beat that? O.O

Download available at Ticalc.org. Game is called Mr Explore and is unfinished, but I think it's harder than Legand of Zelda: Sord of Atari and Donut Quest O.O

Yeah it looks pretty cool. I'll probably get my 84 back today so I'll be able to try it. :D

Yeah it's amazing. I wish it was finished. I wish, however, that that last part in the screenie was made possible to beat, though. <_<

Cool! An NES-hard platformer? Or less hard?
If you like my work: why not give me an internet?

More like 10 times worse than Ghosts 'n' Goblins, starting in that one room in the screenshot. But it is possible that it is the last room and that the author made it close to impossible to prevent going further and getting a RAM clear or something.

That actually looks pretty cool! I am glad somebody spotted this before it got lost in the other uploads!

The issue is how slippy the floor is and how hard it is to long jump from such short distance. It requires perfect, tool-assisted-like timing. X.x

It is indeed a bit hard. Also if we figure out the source, we might be able to fix these issues. ;)

BTW I had to re-sign the app. If you can't send it I can upload it.

I think the author made movement like that just so that physics remains as realistic as possible. However, it is a bit too slippery I think for such small maps and precise jumping requirements and it would work better for a game like Sonic. Had this been finished with walking physics at least similar to SMB1 (where it's far more responsive) it would probably have a reasonable difficulty level. Right now, if you barely tap the directional keys you don't even move at all and if you hold down the key for a while longer you can't stop fast enough.

It's a great game so far in general and if it was easier and I could notice a lot of more rooms, I could have made  a news.

I hope the author intends to finish this. It looks fantastic from the screenies! :D

I doubt it, sadly, because in his readme he mentions that he's done with calc programming and has since moved on to more powerful platforms. From what I remember from the readme too, I think it has been a long while since he actually worked on that calc game.

Yea, just saw that. :/ Too bad he didn't include the source.
