johnvanderhoef | 34 Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 (edited) Hey all! I am happy to announce that the Kickstarter for my new arcade platformer, Wart Worm Wingding, is now LIVE! If you want to support NES development, are interested in an awesome new NES game, or just want to collect every NES game ever made (the list keeps growing!), then this Kickstarter is for you. I am very particular about games, and I made Wart Worm Wingding to play great, look great, and be a satisfying NES adventure. It pays homage to my favorite games on the system! The best part is that the game is 1- to 2-players, so you can enjoy it with a family member or friend. I wanted to make a game that I could play with my partner and friends on a couch and enjoy. The NES was my first real console, and this game is a love letter to that era. The Kickstarter is to produce an initial run of physical cartridges. There is no guarantee that there will be more carts in the future, so if you want a copy, now is the time. I will be adding a stretch goal of a full boxed copy if we can get to $5000. But I will also be happy with just getting the game in cart form out into the world for those who appreciate these kinds of things. BACK NOW: Cheers, John Edited March 13, 2020 by johnvanderhoe 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnvanderhoef | 34 Posted March 13, 2020 Author Share Posted March 13, 2020 Thanks, man. I just want to get this great game in as many hands as possible. It's the best with a loved one or friend for an evening of NES bliss. While not "easy," I have tried to make the game totally accessible and completable for everyone!

erockbrox | 33 Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 I'm assuming you made it with NESmaker? Looks neat I'll give the demo a spin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferris Bueller | 495 Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 They did. No mention of it in the Kickstarter, but if you follow links I think for the demo you end up on their website where they say they used NESmaker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnvanderhoef | 34 Posted March 20, 2020 Author Share Posted March 20, 2020 The game is now fully funded! But there's still almost 2-weeks left in the campaign. The next step is to reach the first stretch goal that will upgrade all cartridge backers to a box with original art.

johnvanderhoef | 34 Posted March 27, 2020 Author Share Posted March 27, 2020 Only 5 days Left! Wart Worm Wingding is a 2-player arcade adventure for the NES. It's inspired by games like Bubble Bobble and Dig Dug. It features over 100 levels and 10 boss fights. The game is fully funded, but there are only five days left to back the project. The community is trying to reach the $5,000 mark to unlock the first stretch goal that will automatically upgrade all cart tier backers to a complete in box edition. If this interests you, consider backing and telling your friends. I hope you're all doing well during this pandemic.
