I made this simple game for my kid. He's 5 and wanted to play one of those game dad makes. He has fun with this one, and you?

Use A to jump and B to punch. In some levels you swim. And maybe you'll have to solve very simple puzzles. Be 5 again and beat this.

I wanted this game to be a simple NROM cart but Davidian made great music and I had to make room for it and expand to CNROM, but there's lots of free space (about 16-20K from the total 64).

Updated 20201015 with v3
Updated 20201027 the title screen still said "v2", reuploaded. Sorry.

Found a minor bug on this screen:

When you go right from this screen, you appear on the right edge of the next screen.

Thanks. I'll correct all those glitches for the cart version.

I enjoyed it as a nice relaxing platformer to take my time with up, until Lava Pit, where taking damage seemed almost unavoidable on some screens, and I couldn't figure out how to get to the goal once I finally got all the way up to the top. :p

Looks similar to Super Bat Puncher, but without bird and bouncing from the walls.

I have just reached the Lava Pit. Destroyed the switch at the bottom and the lava went up.
But when I got to the beginning of the level, the cage remained in his place. What should I do to open the cage?

[na_th_an]

That's a bug. I worked on putting the Game together overnight and probBly messed Up that room when reordering the levels.

[lidnariq]

These two enemies might be the wrong sprite? Maybe?

[na_th_an]

Yeah, probably
I'll check what could be wrong with the Lava pit later. Meanwhile, you can skip levels using UP+B+SELECT

[na_th_an]

Solved. I've updated the first post with v2.
Thanks.

Same as veggie invaders DB-15 controllers aren't working on your game , very good game ,lots of inspiration from Alex Kidd on the SMS

[na_th_an]

Hello. I use neslib. Maybe support for such controllers would be easy to add patching the library?

Glad you liked it. Yeah, it draws lots of inspiration from my favourite 8 bits game It's also a simpler, easier, kid-friendly version of this game we released in 2014: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W6p-6u0mLRM

Yes. Compare
your copy of neslib.s ("padPollLoop")
to nesdevwiki:Controller reading code ("Adding support for controllers on the Famicom's DA15 expansion port ")

[na_th_an]

Thanks. I will add support then post an udate.
