Desert Escape!
A downloadable game
Climb your way to the top of the desert in this brand new NES game! You will have to take advantage of the blocks that are falling from the sky. Are you up for the challenge?
Proudly made in NESFab
Desert Escape! is one of the first games to be developed using the NESFab programming language. If you have programming experience and would like to produce your own game for the Nintendo Entertainment System, please check it out!

Sweet update!
Wonderful game! But maybe you cold place control tips into game menu?
Done! Thank you for the suggestion :)
can't get this to run on a PAL nes via a krikzz N8 pro everdrive.... is it NTSC only? or some mapper the N8 pro doesn't support? looks fun!
For now, this game is NTSC only. I believe it is possible to make PAL games with NESFab, but I don't have PAL hardware to test it on. If someone would like to make a PAL fork, they are more than welcome to ^^
a real cart of this would be fantastic
I use the Krzysio flashcart for testing. It costs less than some NES games out there.
this is a fantastic amount of polish here, but the RNG might be a little too unforgiving. I got stuck almost every time I played lol.
though, it’s probably a skill issue on my part
Pro tip: the RNG isn't entirely random. In fact, the odds that determine the next block are 50/50. I'll let players figure out the pattern :)
ooh interesting
