Overworld Horde
Have you ever wondered what a NES-era Legend of Zelda crossed with Vampire Survivors would be like?
No, we hadn't either, but it was the best idea we had for the NES Jam 2024.
- Fight the increasing number of enemies!
- Find power ups to perform better attacks!
- Level up to gain strength.
- Last as long as you can and put your name on the board of heros

Okay, where to start. So the game is "functional", it didn't break or softlock in the time I played it... but I wouldn't have been surprised if it did. The graphics are NES-ish, but the enemies have a semi-transparent edge like they have been made in a small pixel art and then scaled up in something like GIMP which harshly clashes with the player character's sprite. The audio is a 4-second loop of booping that sounds on par to a police siren and might rival that of "Crazybus". There's no direction of objective or goal, even in the story. The one thing this feels like NES-wise is like one of those rip-off NES bible games and in that regard, this hits the feel perfectly. I'm sorry if the developers worked really hard on this, but there's a lot that needs to be improved for this to be enjoyable.
