Shiru's NES conversion of Denis Grachev's 2011 ZX Spectrum puzzle platformer, with music by Kulor.

Facts

It is Shiru's NES version of Denis Grachev's ZX Spectrum game, released in 2011 at the DiHalt demoparty. All levels were redrawn for the NES, with five graphics sets instead of three.
It was Shiru's first NES game written in C (cc65). The coding took about ten days, from 25 June to 5 July 2011.
Richard "Kulor" Armijo wrote a new soundtrack in under 9 KB, later released by Ubiktune.
The game is freeware, and donations go to charity.
