SlowMoleDev | 31 Posted May 30, 2023 Share Posted May 30, 2023 Mega Slow Mole for the Sega Genesis/Megadrive is nearly finished.Free demo and beta version out now. The game is here: https://slowmolestudio.itch.io/mega-slow-mole There's still some content missing. Some more levels will be added to the first third of the game and it's missing some end game content, challenge levels and secrets. All the music isn't there yet either and the sound mix will need some tweaks to sound well on all Megadrive revisions. That said, the beta already contains more than 80 levels and should pose quite a challenge... I suspect a lot of people will find the free demo challenging enough though. Mega Slow Mole is the sequel to the NES game Slow Mole https://slowmolestudio.itch.io/slow-mole In fact, it's sort of the third part of a trilogy since I also made a Pico 8 game before it called Slow Mole Jr. https://slowmolestudio.itch.io/slow-mole-jr And while Mega Slow Mole does borrow some mechanics from Slow Mole Jr, it's completely different from the NES game, aside from the checkpoint mechanic. We're also planning a physical cartridge release, but manufacturing and marketing is still left to be sorted out. Hopefully I can share some prototype cart footage soon.

SlowMoleDev | 31 Posted August 5, 2023 Author Share Posted August 5, 2023 The game now autosaves the last checkpoint. The next time you start the game you'll find an optional warp that takes you to where you last left off. Also, Slow Mole has a new aerodynamic outfit. Check it out in the new update!

SlowMoleDev | 31 Posted August 6, 2023 Author Share Posted August 6, 2023 The new save mechanic at work. The warp appears at the start of the game if you have a previously autosaved checkpoint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
