About A Simple Platformer Game

Platform: NES
Developer: LCM Games (Mike Behr)
Year: 2020
Genre: Platformer
Players: 1
License: Homebrew

Mike Behr's bare-bones platformer in green line art, built around a single level.

Every stage reuses the same flat stretch of ground with small changes, some only visual and one with left and right swapped. The stated goal is to keep winning until the kill screen. Play loops on past the labelled kill screen, and finding the real one, which crashes the game, is the extra challenge.

How to play

Controls: Left and right move, A jumps.
