Jet-Paco (NES Game)

We usually limit ourselves to free homebrew games, but will make an exception for the guys and girls from The Mojon Twins today. Jet-Paco is about to get a physical release. All information about the crowd-funding is in Spanish language so I’ve to pass here… but maybe you can squeeze out some more information using Google translator or similar.

Jet-Paco (06-01-2015) (NES Game)

Jet-Paco is a brand new NES game by Mojon Twins.

Paco Rebollez is an astronaut in charge of finding and gathering energonia crystals, a material used to power spaceships. To aid him in his hard job, he has a special suit equipped with a small thermonuclear cell in the buttocks zone which exhales an invisible gas which Paco uses to rise and fly around.

Paco‘s company has detected an old abandoned ship containing as much as 20 crystals. Paco could retire if he could gather such a number of crystals, so he decides to ignore the perils he might find inside the ship and begins the search!

The New 8-bit Heroes (NES misc)

Joe Granato is currently raising money via Kickstarter to get “The New 8-bit Heroes” alive. It will be a brand new NES game and while he is already at it, there will be a short documentary movie of it as well. The campaign is running for about another three weeks, so maybe you would like to support it.

Sliding Blaster (17-06-2014) (NES Game)

In Sliding Blaster by NovaSquirrel you need to collect ammunition, slide around and shoot the enemies. Master the art of sliding and shooting with an arcade feel and unique controls.

Release notes:

I have about 6 levels now, out of a planned 10 so there’s more to try out in this build. In addition to that, I finally transcribed the music I composed into the format Tepples’ music engine takes, so there’s music that’s actually different from DABG’s now. I think it might be too difficult currently but I’m not sure.
