Download my game : Ball and flag

Hi,

I'm just beginning to dev a game for the nes.
You are a ball in a labyrinth, you must retrieve the flag before time expires.
The labyrinth is pure random.

Check the screenshots

Very cool.

Controls feel slugish. Sometimes I need to press more than 1 time in order to move the ball.
Is it supposed to be like this?

Hi, thank you very much for your feedback.
I quickly dev this game (2 hours or less i think)
The game is not perfect, there are bugs, no music etc... it's beta.
Controls are not very good it's right.
When i have some spare time i improve this little game.
I also want to improve comptability with Everdrive N8 flashcard because there are graphic bugs.

Do you tried the game with emulator on a real hardware (flashcard...) please precise ?

Thanks a lot.

Here is the new version with improved controls and scoring system
please test it with powerpak or emulator and tell me if it works.
download below.

Work fine here with my PowerPak and NTSC-U NES. Nice work! I've got to lvl 21 so far!

so graphics are all right on powerpak ? (like screenshots at the top of this page)

Yup everything looks like the screenshot.

Wow, that's cool to see his game played by others on the tv !

Sometimes a press of the Reset button can reveal init code bugs that the PowerPak BIOS hides.

Ok my game works perfectly with Everdrive N8 now !
just update the OS of your N8 : http://krikzz.com/pub/support/everdrive ... sos-v7.zip
unzip and run on your flashcart, it works for me, i use also the last BIOS V4 (download at : http://krikzz.com/pub/support/everdrive ... ios-v4.nes)

Thank you,

That's pretty cool. Works fine, of course, in fceux. Also, I commented on your "Setup your Everdrive n8" thread on the krikkz forum. When I get my n8, I'm sure it'll work fine.

Hi,

I am lionel barasc, the developer of ballnflag on NES in 2013,

I need time and few dollars to made it !

lbarasc, the game has a problem with creating a level map. Can you fix that?
