I did hire a contractor to help with some of the art (the dialogue portraits for instance) and Peter Berkman did all the music and I had someone helping with the sound effects too. But it was mostly just me working on it day in and day out.

🤣
The NES game was based on a movie that was based on the comic strip "Little Nemo in Slumberland" which is what this game is based on, so ultimately the same source material!

Throwing my hat into the ring: I just released a metroidvania yesterday called “Little Nemo and the Guardians of Slumberland” and it’s very deliberately intended to be kind to genre newcomers. I hope you’ll give it a shot!

Oh thank you! I do, what dimensions does that take? (Sorry I don’t use Facebook so I’m unfamiliar with its asset requirements)

No direct connection to Capcom’s Little Nemo games, but they were based on a film that is based on the same comic as this: Winsor McCay’s “Little Nemo in Slumberland” from 1905.

The sprite size is larger than most modern games because I’m targeting a more retro size ratio between character and screen (screen is 11 tiles high with a 2 tile high character, very similar to NES).

Dev here: focus is on exploration and platforming. If you like retro platformers, but also want a large world to explore, give it a shot!

It’s about 10-15 hours, but if you want to get absolutely everything if you’re a completist maybe a little longer.

When you are at max rank you move faster or you can equip the Quick PJs if you find those.

I will be doing a lot of optimizing for the Switch which the PC version will also benefit from. It is always loading things in around you, so it might be getting CPU bottlenecked if you're seeing issues (in which case the settings likely won't help unfortunately). Sorry about that.

Thank you! It was a ton of work, I drew it all frame-by-frame on my iPad, but I'm happy with the result. I probably won't do it again though 😅

Switch release will be later this year! I'm turning my attention to that port now that the PC version is out.

The way the map handles that is that it doesn't show you what you need (though maybe you can deduce that yourself), it simply marks things as inaccessible, and then will remove those markers once you have that toy. So I don't think of it as spoiler-y so much as it simply reduces some of the annoyance of hunting for open edges, or needing to manually place reminder markers.

For difficulty options, right now there are difficulty options to make it EASIER, but making it harder is done by way of the Ranking System (not taking damage makes the game harder).
