matthughson | 179 Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 (edited) DOWNLOAD HERE! Update: Now that the competition is over, you can follow the rest of the development on the official thread here: https://www.videogamesage.com/forums/topic/7795-witch-n-wiz/ I am working on a new game for the NES: Witch n' Wiz! For the 2020/21 NESDev competition, I have put together a sort of "demo" of game. You can download it for free using the link above. It is just a small sampling of what I hope to deliver in the final game, in fall of 2021. Genre: Turn-Based Puzzle Platformer (e.g. Fire n Ice, Catrap, etc) How to Play: Objective: Vanquish all the monsters in room by slamming into them from the side. Push blocks around in a similar way to create bridges over gaps. You cannot jump! The only way to move up is the climb a ladder. If you make a mistake, press B to undo your last move, or SELECT to restart the room. Controls: D-PAD: Move the character. SELECT: Restart current room. START: Pause game (view password, change floors, quit game). B BUTTON: Undo last move. A BUTTON: Switch characters (later levels only). Features: 30+ Levels New puzzle mechanics every 5-10 levels Password Save Art by Kenneth Fejer and Zolionline.

Raftronaut | 100 Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 I haven't been able to get this boot on my powerpak yet. Which mapper does this use? I might have to update my powerpak mapper support. or just settle for an emulator Link to comment https://www.videogamesage.com/forums/topic/6938-witch-n-wiz-nesdev-compo-edtion-out-now/#findComment-170907 Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's kind of surprising to me, but I'm not sure how active PowerPak development is. You could trying reaching out to @bunnyboy on the VGS Discord.
