matthughson | 171 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 | 99 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 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.
