I can't overstate just how much I love seeing a NES game developed in 2026. It looks great. I really like the music too.
replyHave you considered also releasing it to itch.io? (I don't do business with Steam due to DRM and their inaccessible website.)
I would happily purchase a NES ROM file so I could play it on my pitendo (RPi3 in a case that looks like an NES).
I'm not well versed in video editing. That said, the people I know who are tend to use Da Vinci Resolve.
It is indeed also on Itch. I'm planning to release both, along with a physical cartridge at some point. It's a real NES game, so a ROM is included. (No DRM, of course. I'm not even sure how you would achieve DRM on a ROM chip.) I test on an Everdrive N8 Pro. It's a big game, so simpler flashcarts tend to not be able to run it.
replyNice job. I'm assuming this was inspired by Crypt of the Necrodancer? It even has a similar looking "bounce" motion when the main player moves.

Aye, the inspiration is not subtle. Technically it is the latest entry in the "rhythm-based roguelike" genre... which to my knowledge mostly includes CotN and its sequel, Cadence of Hyrule. Both are excellent, and I recommend them highly. Of course I'm unaffiliated, so this is more of a spiritual successor (... demake?) and is its own thing in terms of IP.
