That looks a lot like early Commander Keen.

Looks awesome, I'm excited to play it. By looks alone it reminds me of an updated ROB game, whats that called? Gyromite. My wife and I had a lot of fun playing that a couple years ago. I don't have a R.O.B so she was on controller 2 opening and closing the doors for me. We beat it and wish there were more levels.

Thanks for your comments.

We are working hard to have a demo soon.

This week we were learning how to flash to burn cartridges.

Every day we get closer to meeting the goal of having a game for this magnificent console.
