Crypto (GGJ 2016 game)
Hi everyone.
Check out our ggj game that we did in 48 hours.
A youtube video from earlier hours
https://youtu.be/j2TEsonhl7o
You can play it here : http://www.enginmercan.com/crypto/
Or download : http://enginmercan.com/crypto/roms/crypto/crypto.nes
It is a coop only game, you will need a second player to play it efficiently.
Your objective is to bring all 4 magical items to their right places at center. They are randomly placed in dungeon and you should search for them and carry them back.
Tricky part is there are monsters and you can't attack while carrying. Also you are slow as snail while carrying and so it is expected that one player should carry and other should defend him.
It is possible to carry same item by both players. In this case you are faster but both can't attack. Also you have to sync your keys to move at that direction.
A to attack
Hold B to carry. when item moves the correct place (you can see their silhouettes at start screen at the corners of whirlpool.) your player will drop it.
When all 4 items are placed you move to next screen. It makes enemies stronger and faster.
It ends when one of you die.
Thanks everyone that helped us on #nesdev!
(For some reasons my everdrive couldn't enable 4 screen mirroring, however it worked on other people. no idea why. it works on emulators though. sorry, couldn't solve this problem in time if it happens to you)

Congratulations!
Very impressive for the timeframe. And it still works properly in my Everdrive.

Re: Crypto (GGJ 2016 game)
I have no idea what is wrong with mine. I sent a mail to everdrive, hopefully will get an answer too.darryl.revok wrote:Congratulations!

Re: Crypto (GGJ 2016 game)
Is the owner of Everdrive is a regular on forums or chat? Not sure if my contact forms are sent, there is no feedback in my mail.
Re: Crypto (GGJ 2016 game)
Are you sure your EverDrive is original? There are a number of cheaper chinese clones that are known to not work properly. Krikzz's forum is normally the best place for EverDrive support, but there's nothing he can do if you bought a bootleg.
Re: Crypto (GGJ 2016 game)
Is there a safe way to determine whether an EverDrive N8 is genuine? The Cloned EverDrive Help topic links to THIS LIST which is 404. (I assume Our Dealers was meant.) Suggestions lower in the topic don't work on front-loaders.
Re: Crypto (GGJ 2016 game)
Just buy from the source (or from dealers linked in the official website) and you'll be fine. If you find an EverDrive cheaper than the one from the official store in an auction website or some chinese e-commerce website, there's just no way it's the real deal.
Re: Crypto (GGJ 2016 game)
I bought it from the official store. Didn't know they had a forum, will post there. Thanks
Re: Crypto (GGJ 2016 game)
Can you confirm Crypto works or not on your real hardware? Be it PowerPak or EverDrive? or some other custom cartidge.
Re: Crypto (GGJ 2016 game)
Looks like the problem is worse than I thought. There are many roms that are just not working. I tried Rad Racer II which also uses 4 screen and it has a similar problem too. Some other games work correctly, some just gives me gray screen.
Re: Crypto (GGJ 2016 game)
4-screen not working in general is a well-known design flaw of many famiclones—assuming you're using one.

He is using a Dendy, but interestingly, Gauntlet II showed four-screen mirroring on his unit.lidnariq wrote:4-screen not working in general is a well-known design flaw of many famiclones—assuming you're using one.
Re: Crypto (GGJ 2016 game)
Gauntlet 2 didn't use 4-screen. Only the original did.
Re: Crypto (GGJ 2016 game)
Yes, I noticed that afterwards. I tried gauntlet 1 and it didn't run at all. I also tried rad racer and half of backround tiles were messy, probably it was the same issue.
I should have check more games, but that ggj kept me bussy and I only assumed it was a mirroring issue. looks like cartidge is buggy.

Re: Crypto (GGJ 2016 game)
True... Does anyone know if the Dendy suffers from this? Probably not, right? Considering it's one of the older clones that don't use NOACs...lidnariq wrote:4-screen not working in general is a well-known design flaw of many famiclones—assuming you're using one.
