Micro Mages is a platform game for the Nintendo Entertainment System that was published on April 30, 2019 by Morphcat Games. The game raised over €150,000 on Kickstarter. The game was published as a physical cartridge for the NES, and later as a digital download, bundled with an emulator, on Steam and Itch.io.
Runs well on modern hardware.
One of the best retro style games ive played. Its also really cool that this game can be played anywhere that can run an NES emulator when you copy the rom that's in the files. I beat this game like a couple years ago when i put the game on a hacked DSi.
Not only is it obviously fully NES-capable, but even if it wasn't, this'd still be worth your time. The platforming is around the quality of SMB3 in my opinion (which is the best the NES gets) and they MANAGED TO MAKE AN ICE LEVEL ACTUALLY FUN. I really hope to see Morphcat become something bigger in the future, I love these guys' work.
very magey
