CUBE (NES)
A downloadable game
What is CUBE?
CUBE did not come from anywhere, in fact, CUBE created the universe as we know it, the only drawback is CUBE could not manifest itself.. until now. CUBE conjured up every last bit of his omnipotent strength and was able to manifest in this 8-bit game. It's not much, but it's the best we could do for now.
No, really, what is CUBE?
Cube is an action platformer made with NES Maker, with music/SFX by MUSICnGAMING (https://the-realm-recordings.itch.io/). Designed for speed runners, but forgiving enough for casual players
We also have a speedrun board at https://www.speedrun.com/cube_nes

Hey ResidentEmil, Got some questions since I noticed this was "Still under development".
I just beat the game on the normal mode and I heard through the grapevine you were interested in potentially getting this up on Retro Achievements. I have uploaded the current game hash of 1.08.1.
Is the game complete? I was hoping to submit a claim for development for the game if you were alright with it.
Curious where it says the game is still in development. The game is completed.
It appears in the more information section. If it is full, super awesome! This is super fun to play XD

I can also supply asm6 source code if that helps you make retro achievements, feel free to DM me
I may sound really dumb with this... You can DM in Itch.io? Or are you referring to a different platform?
The game locks up on me when the corroded wall is touched (using NesEm).
You can see the problem here on some other Android emulator too (at the end of the video). It happens every time: no way to get around it:
Hello, unfortunately only emulators which support the mapper 30 ROM type are supported. As for Android, I think retroarch may work, but I didn't do any testing on it unfortunately. Due to the way mapper 30 does bank swapping, I cannot provide support for emulators that do not support this type.
Hi!
Any interest of having a possibility to release this in physical form? I have upcoming company to license and publish NESMaker games locally in Finland / Sweden. I can pay you per license to make a physical release of this fun platformer!
