Lil Digger is my submission for Ludum Dare 40.
Lil Digger is for the Nintendo Entertainment System.
There is no story. This is a continuation of Lil' Digger from LD39. I wanted to explore writing a side-scroller on the NES.
Whereas the LD39 version took its inspiration from Atari Pitfall, you will notice the inspiration from Nintendo Super Mario Brothers in this game.
Meta: The theme for "LD40" is "The more you have, the worse it is". The NES is an old archaic platform with few tools and no CPU power. Clearly it is lacking "more".
This game is for the Nintendo Entertainment System. In order to play it you will need either an emulator or a real NES with a flash cart (such as an Everdrive).
I've tested on fceux and with an Everdrive on a real NES.
