I, Zilla by laubisch
Our Entry to #LudumDare33 , themed "You Are The Monster".
Another full NES Prototype by The Laubisch's , made on NES Assembly, that could run on the real 8-bit console! :D Yes, it is a real NES Game!
This initial Ludum Dare 33 release is just a very tiny portion of what we plan to do with this NES game. Please follow our game page at GameJolt - we'll keep the game updated there: http://gamejolt.com/games/i-zilla/88547
ABOUT:
You are the Zilla and you must kill the Bouncing Hero!
• Move your cloaked scales to Left and Right to make the Bouncing Hero land on your pointy Nail so he takes Damage!
• But be careful: If the Bouncing Hero lands on your other fingers, you will take damage instead!
• Both the Zilla and the Hero have some Life Points each, so beware! The first to get a lot of hits loses the game (If Zilla Loses the screen turns B&W, If the Hero loses, the screen turns flat green)

Anyways, now about the game. The collision on the paddle isn't very good (though I didn't think it would be that hard to do on the NES). Many times I bounce from nowhere and others my guy goes right through the paddle. I seem to bounce from the ceiling sometimes and then well below the ceiling other times. I know you guys are aware of these bugs and it's just a fault of time. It's pretty fun to play but these bugs makes it seem too uncontrollable to win.
The textures are a puke green and the paddles blend into the background, though if you ignore all the green it's not too bad. Also if I hit start after I die, weird shit occurs. It took me awhile to understand how this fit into the theme but it's a pretty good fit. The lack of any health indication kind of sucks as well.
It's a very nice try and I can see the limitations put forth, but, to put bluntly, I was underwhelmed. I hope you guys are able to try next year and (hopefully) blow my socks off!
