Oh man Sivak thank you soooo much, seriously me and my bro dave played this and we were like little boys again... played all night and beat it. what a great game, even better than megaman 2.
Very interesting stuff man, which software are you using to do this? I have a team right now and we are developing a fighting game, I'd like to have a chat with you about it; pm me if you're interested.
@penguinsnotincluded Well, one can use a program called Famitracker to do user-made songs. I don't use it for the game itself as the music generated is not optimized for game-use, but it's a good tool if you just want to make songs.
Wow! Are you able to make money off of this? Because I've been wanting to create a new SNES platformer for a while, but I never thought anyone would be interested enough to make it worthwhile.
By the way, Sivak, you are a sinister, sinister person. I got the game today after I got done working at 4... It's midnight, and I just quit. I'm just now on the magician looking level, just got past the timed spikes. You're a diabolical genius. You somehow managed to make a game that's hard as all fuck, but still a blast to play. I may have gotten totally frustrated (my deaths have be in the quadruple digits by now), but I never once wanted to stop playing. Excellent work!
@imfromfo Pffft. IWBTG is a rip-off already. It's not possible to rip-off a rip-off. Besides, Battle Kid is leaps and bounds better than anything IWBTG ever could have asked for. If you die in Battle Kid, it's your fault. In IWBTG, it's because a spike randomly jettisoned into you from the ground below. Battle Kid provides a challenge, it's not a game of memorization. Fuck IWBTG.
@raze667 It's specifically made for NES consoles. When you order it, you get a transparent green NES cartridge. I've been playing it on my NES all day.
Hey Sivak was wondering if you know what is going on with the game? Retro USB said it was coming back in on the 18th but it still shows as unavailible. I woudl lvoe to get a copy of this.
You didn't think the final boss was difficult? It took me like 5 times longer to beat the final boss than the third boss. Granted, I didn't have the weapon upgrade...
Otherwise, I'd agree that Cleo was the hardest boss.
True. The first 2 bosses are much easier and in my opinion alot funnier to battle. I have tried to beat the 3th boss over 1 hour now and i haven't made any progress at all. I just can't seem to avoid his random and very fast attack.
I have been very tolerent up to this point but now i fear i won't see the rest of the game because of that stupid boss:/
Does anyone have any advice.. or a Game Genie code maybe:)
@captainnintendo No game genie code according to Sivak. I did end up beating her. I just stopped trying to kill her for a while and I concentrated on learning how to dodge every attack. After about a hundred deaths, I got it right. The bitch was pretty satisfying to finish off, but the other bosses were still more fun.
Did anyone find out where you go with the IV key to get the weapon upgrade thing? Can't find it, and I'm getting a little tired of randomly wandering around in very tough insta-kill areas of the game (e.g., EVERYWHERE).
the great thing is that unlike mega man 9 this is trying even harder to be retro using a new generic name with no numbers attached and best of all it's on an NES cartridge
My copy came today. It is absolutely surreal to plan a NEW NES game in 2010! I've had a smile on my face the entire time. I'm getting ready to head out tonight and I can't wait to tell all my friends about it. It really is that good.
Is there any chance of this soundtrack being released in either NSF or MP3 form? It already sounds badass from both the demo and the intro videos you've posted!
@VecTron5 Looks like the boss has the ability to freeze you in place before he fires his erm... bullets at you making it so that you have to be in the right place just at the moment he freezes you or else you'll get hit.
@adamdonovan88 The cartridge was the plan from the start. Hopefully in under 2 weeks it'll be ready. I'm gonna need to make a vlog explaining the holdup.
My NES hasn't worked since the 90's,but I'd probably get it fixed (if there are people who repair old game consoles) to play something like this.I tried my controller on a friend's NES about a year ago,and that still worked...so atleast I'm saved from buying one off ebay.
I'm doubting this game will get a lot of attention, because of the age of the console it's on. But I like it's idea at least. Hope this goes well for you.

The 3. boss Cleo is really hard, but that is the only one that is so difficult, the other bosses are much more easier.
@IV The key is near your spaceship, you have to fly from the highest spot (at the snipersnail with the deathspikes above) left against the wall.
And the secret entrace is after the second boss, you have fly against the wall to enter.
