Last year 2017 Lazycow was developing a platforming game for the NES as an entry for the 2017 Nesdev competition. It gained favourable feedback during that time with one such member noting the game had nice level design, felt non linear and incredibly moody with rather nice animation. Well the news of this week is, this NES game is currently being ported over to the C64 by the same developer with a preview tease also made available through CSDb by Excess.
Going by the fact this is a preview and a very early work in progress, there's not a lot to do in the game other than visiting the first area, being able to see the character animation, the early level design, and some of the deadly traps such as spikes that will probably appear in the full version. Currently you can't get hurt, there's no music and the control feels a little bit off but other than we are hopeful of a very decent game when and if it is finished.
