Genievania, super short new NES game. Part of the Game Genie mini jam on NESdev, had to make games out of limitations of the Game Genie, size and graphics. This was a neat Metroid style game that I found a few skips in so had to do a run. Easy sub 10 min playthru www.youtube.com/watch?v=0DxY...

Castle of Death, Intellivision homebrew by @nanochess.bsky.social. 100 single screen rooms to run thru. Tried to find the quickest ways for each room without being super aggressive, goal was just a clean deathless run. ⚙️💀 www.youtube.com/watch?v=OqLK...

Malasombra, new NES game by @4mhzes.bsky.social. Sort of a Metroidvania, but mostly a linear path. Need to get 3 transformations to access areas. 2 big skips using a double jump glitch I found, skips 2 whole areas. Absolutely fantastic visuals and nice music. 🐸🐿️🦆 www.youtube.com/watch?v=-9AE...

Ghosts 'n Goblins on Game Boy Color. Zoomed in GnG? It does sound horrible. One of the toughest games I ran. RNG was brutal the entire game, couldn't find consistencies, enemy patterns were rough. First loop was pretty good under 11, with 1 unfortunate death later. 😈 www.youtube.com/watch?v=a4wg...

After Burst for Game Boy. 1 screen action game where you destroy enemy orb to advance. 3 boss fights out of 30 levels. Game is extremely laggy when enemies are present, sometimes your shot inputs are eaten. Some levels need to get quick cycles. Few unfortunate deaths.

Was notified Aladdin GBC has less lag when the music is off so I had to run it back. Beat my PB and the old GBC TAS too. Didn't get the Bonus game glitch in the levels I didn't collect any Genies. www.youtube.com/watch?v=3e14...

Aladdin Game Boy Color. Remastered 6 years after the GB port. Small skip in the Dungeon level, and skip the carpet ride in the last level like the GB version. Decent deathless run, you can really only die in the first and last level if you're not extra careful. 🧞 www.youtube.com/watch?v=hTcg...

Musketeer for C64, a short platformer. Run around and collect all the diamonds. Fun to route to cut out backtracking. Art and animation is great. 🤺💎 www.youtube.com/watch?v=FJ5B...

Pitchfork by @jaiware.itch.io, a short GB platformer. Pretty simple game but the movement is fun. Couple of small skips in a few rooms. 🍴 www.youtube.com/watch?v=wAd-...

MEATBALL the Mite by @junipinpan.bsky.social, a short Metroidvania for PC. Straightforward search action, but the art and animation is great. No real skips I found, so just run thru quickly. I'd recommend a playthru, it's free and not very long. 🪲 www.youtube.com/watch?v=6FZA...

Went and did a run with the other character, who is from their Asteborg series. Overall feels more consistent and faster, the downstab does double damage. Run is the same besides that. ⚔️🐦 www.youtube.com/watch?v=DKA4...

D*Fuzed for GBC. New puzzle homebrew where you collect bombs before they explode to recharge yourself. Bombs, hazards and enemy drops are all randomized, making it a bit challenging. 🤖💣 www.youtube.com/watch?v=yr5W...

Castle of Deceit NES by Bunch Games. No iframes so you can get melted by anything, boss patterns are random and annoying (I got very lucky on 2 of them with a death) so I just wanted a finished run without using continues, easily beatable to whoever wishes. 🏰 🧙 www.youtube.com/watch?v=ttEw...

Anotha one, Spelunker Mario. Description says what if Spelunker had Celeste powers, and that's pretty much it. Found lots of ways to abuse the dash to negate dying from a fall. Went for the GM score as an Any% run would be super short and way less interesting. ⚡💨⛑️ www.youtube.com/watch?v=qbtH...

Another of the new Zap & Dash minigames, the Farewell level, which is unlocked once you earn enough points from the others. A series of hard challenge rooms and then a full small Metroid map and escape. Still impressive how much they added. ⚡💨 www.youtube.com/watch?v=O4Ch...

Rainbow Dash, one of the new Celeste Mario minigames. A powerup allows you to dash on spikes, so all the screens are build around that. Really challenging but super satisfying run, very easy to make a silly mistake. Just wanted a solid deathless run. ⚡💨🌈 www.youtube.com/watch?v=vM19...

V2.0 of Zap & Dash. Main game is identical and still amazing, but now there are 11 "minigames" added. They are full little games all in different gameplay styles, feels like they kinda went UFO 50 with the main game. Personal favorite so far is the play on Baba Is You, just wildly impressive stuff.

Celeste Mario's Zap & Dash DELUXE! (NES) Added

Since a common complaint of the original Celeste Mario was that it was rather short, the authors of the game decided to spend some more effort on creating varied content. And the hack team now present...

Cool World for Game Boy. A platformer where you defeat all enemies in the real world and Cool world to advance. Enemy movement patterns are random making it pretty RNG heavy. Was ahead then lost most of it but gained at the end. Based on the film which I haven't seen. www.youtube.com/watch?v=kMDK...

Power Rangers Lightspeed Rescue for Game Boy Color. This is my Game Boy speedrun #75. Rescue hostages, defeat aliens then a Megazord fight. Get Gold rank in all missions to unlock final boss and the ending. A great Natsume game, a bit repetitive but solid. Great music as always🤖 youtu.be/jitzDVnUPqE

Tasmania Story for Game Boy. Collect all the vegetation in each stage to advance. Somewhat similar to Mappy/Mighty Bomb. Stomp on Tasmanian Tigers to save 5 different animals to unlock the ending, otherwise the game just loops over. 🐅

Cliffhanger is quick and easy to learn, more than Ninja Crusaders I’d say. Nothing more fun than using someones corpse as a snowboard. 🧗
