But that’s not all! 🦑

To celebrate the launch of “From Below Pocket”, the original “From Below” for the NES is coming out of the vault!

For the first time in years, “From Below” will be available as a physical NES cartridge again!

Recap!

My new homebrew game, “From Below Pocket” for Game Boy, is out right now, along with a re-release of “From Below” for the NES.

Preorders will close on October 16th, and then both of these games will become out-of-print again!

When making games on the NES, nothing is easy!

Also there's some new (temp) art, and I even perform the forbidden mid-frame palette update for extra colors!

An NES crossover!

The Kraken from my first NES game, "From Below", will make a cameo as one of the bosses in my next NES game, "Super Sunny World"🌞

Super Sunny World is a new pixel platformer, and a love letter to the original Super Mario Bros.🍄
