This Kickstarter marks the very first two physical NES games making use of gbdk-nes - the NES backend of gbdk-2020 which powers a good deal of the BB Studio engine.

These two puzzle games will have a physical space on my shelf... as well as a fuzzy feeling inside.

Tomorrow (March 7) at 1 PM EST, @dalyengames.bsky.social will be launching the kickstarter campaign for all of these games... thanks for making it happen! Stayed tuned.
