Ludum Dare 43: Sacrifices Must be Made

In keeping with my "abuse of the theme" motif, I present NES Quest, because programming for the NES is like sacrificing your sanity.

This is not a complete game: my ambition exceeded my preparedness and the available time, but this is a playable demo.

NES Quest Playable Demo

Quest through the land, searching out and collecting the components to repair your NES: Find the 6502 CPU, the PPU, the RAM chip and the 7404 Inverter.

Watch out for Spiders, Grumps and Skulls. Grab a sword to defend yourself.

NES Quest draws a lot of inspration from The Legend of Zelda and Gauntlet.

Unfinished Work

As an unfished game, the RAM and 7404 Inverter are not present in the game. There is no win condition, nor goals. The player doesn't have a health system.

The movement and combat system need some fine tuning to feel more playable.
