Here's something you don't see in every NES game:

A platformer with ZAPPER support! Super Sunny World allows a 2nd player to eliminate enemies with the Zapper Gun.

Remember pretending to play on 2nd controller while you wait for your turn? Pretend no more!

When making games on the NES, nothing is easy! With a LOT of help from the #nesdev Discord, I was able to clean up the seam above the status bar. In addition to that, there is some new (temp) art, and I even perform the forbidden mid-frame palette update for extra colors!

"Ghost Piece" is now available in From Below Pocket via a "patch/hack" for anyone interested! It comes with the game when purchased on itch.io!

Warning: It's very untested, and probably has perf issues. πŸ˜…

I needed to implement a way for certain areas of the level to "lock" the camera, prior to reaching the end of the level data. Thankfully Displaced Gamers' amazing explanation of how SMB1 (attempts) to do it stuck in my mind, and I recreated that system. #nesdev
