Dead Weight

Requires Egg to build.

2025-05-30 For NES Jam 2025, theme "SAVE THE PRINCESS".

Short Zelda-style adventure. Rescue the Princess, then escort her back to the castle. The gimmick: Rescuing her is stupid easy due to your overpowered inventory. Once she's in your care, items become more difficult to use. (emergently, eg your broom only seats one). If you die, the screen resets, no problemo. If she dies, she respawns back at the dungeon.

What happens to the Princess when the Hero dies? I guess she resets to initial position like everything else. ...better yet, nothing. She just carries on.

Strict single-screen presentation. Most volatile state will reset with screen changes. 256x224 pixels fb, makes exactly 16x14 cells of 16x16 pixels. Don't use doors or ladders: There's just a single plane to the world.

Actions like Full Moon: (A) to use, (B) to choose. One thing equipped at a time. Some items will have a count: Pepper, Bomb, Candy.
