My son and I have been working on a new NES game called LEGIONNAIRES, and I thought some of you might enjoy giving the demo a try.

It's a run-and-gun game with a bit of a Contra and Metal Gear vibe. You get dropped on an island, shoot your way through enemy territory, and have to deal with some alarm puzzles along the way.

Funny thing is, quite a few people got stuck on one of those puzzles in the demo. I've just shared the solution, so I'm curious how many of you figured it out without help!

If you fancy trying it, the demo is free here:

Always happy to hear what fellow retro gamers think. Have a good weekend!

Hello everyone! I’m Tim, a solo developer and the creator of PROJECT STARGEM: Twinkle.
It’s a match-3 game for the Game Boy Color, inspired by games like Bejeweled 2. It features smooth gameplay, colorful visuals, and even rumble support!

17 Upvotes

I polished the jam version and developed it into my first demo!

you can PLAY IT HERE : https://roroto-sic.itch.io/mummy-mommy
≈ 30 minutes of playtime

The player must collect keys to exit the level. The mummy has a limited number of moves when clinging to trapped tiles: each move costs it a strip of its wrappings. The mummy comes in three sizes: the smallest allows it to pass through all holes, while the medium size fits only through medium-sized holes.

NES Chef Fiasco – a new arcade game for the NES, now complete

13 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I wanted to share Chef Fiasco, a new homebrew arcade game developed for the NES.

The goal is to catch the right ingredients and fill the meter before time runs out, while avoiding hazards. The game features 7 increasingly difficult stages, a 3-hit system, 2-player alternating mode, and a final Antarctica stage with slippery movement.

The game itself is complete, and I’m now preparing a physical release.

Gameplay trailer:
https://youtu.be/-WTxAEBkWUg

Kickstarter pre-launch page:

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/ares2024/chef-fiasco-new-nes-game

I’d be happy to hear any feedback from fellow homebrew players and developers.
