In Tumulus by yllawwally you are an adventurer, out to stop the fiends coming from Tumulus. This game is inspired by Golden Axe.

Changes/Notes:

New version, I fixed the scoring to support 5 digits, I thought I had added this a long time ago. I didn’t check to see if I broke it, or never completed it. But it now works. I enhanced the skyline, I think it looks better with a changing color when enemies are on the screen. The multi-sprite bosses no longer have the line that slides through them. I had to do a bunch of moving around to get enough cycles to skip the positioning code, if it was a boss. And somehow I never noticed that the roman number for 4 was backwards, and looked like a 6, oops.

Changes/Notes:

I’ve been pretty busy lately. However here is a new version. Killing a creature on lane 6, no longer causes a creature on another lane to die. This was related to the Boss code. I wasn’t clearing the link ID after a BOSS was shown, so that the link ID was still set to that lane. Some of the creatures couldn’t damage the player, was because I accidentally replaced the list of must defeat creatures with the list of creatures that can damage the player. Hitting a creature no longer causes an increase in the line count to 263. However it now causes a reduced line count to 261. I will need to test this on my TV, and see if it’s a problem that must be fixed. I changed the ordering of the monsters, this affected which ones need to be destroyed, and which can damage the player.

Jay van Hutten wrote us to let us know about this latest Gameboy Advance game. It’s a remake of Flappy Bird. Interesting here is, that the GBA is not used as usual, but check out the video on your to understand. Flappy Bird is a one button game where you need to get a bird trough pipes, while not colliding with it. As said there is only one button, so with this button you can give your bird some height, but the height is being reduced immediate again. So you need to keep clicking and keep the correct height, which isn’t easy at all.

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!

Guide Larry the Lemon to collect gifts while being haunted by an enemy. Coded by atari2600land.

Release notes:

Thank you! Found a bug. If the bally<12 then the ball will bounce along the top wall and out of the screen. So I fixed that. Also, I put in the other title screen because I found a way to only have the PF0 be displayed during the game and not on the title screen.
