Bucko Speen

Bucko Speen is a game I'm creating for MGG11!

Actual 3D printed cart with a proper label!

Not only on Web but, this game can be played on ANY Sega Genesis emulator or even on real hardware. Just download the ROM.

Notes before you play. Consider this more like a tech demo or concept. Ensure you are on the latest version by refreshing your browser: CTRL+F5 or even opening in a private browser.

Play attention to the JS emu shenanegans. Sometimes its picky. Playing on a proper emulator or real hardware is the recommended way.

: : How to play : :

[Enter] to Start or Pause, [Arrow Keys] move the character and [S] deploy the magical spinning Bucko. [A] Attract or recover the Bucko.

Some info about sound:
This game uses a very capable semi-custom sound driver.  I spent a lot of time on it but it means we can have a not so big cart with more digital samples/music. I really love how the YM2612 synth sounds but I love experimenting too!

More about this game:

The theme is: "Beloved Princess"
She is a super spoiled and beloved princess but for how long?

It's my fourth time participating in this JAM, and to celebrate, I'm making a Sega Genesis/Mega Drive game that runs on real hardware!

I'm drawing inspiration from the Vtuber Amiya Aranha in order to create the graphics and story.

The core mechanics are in place but there's basically no level design. Again, just a concept. I can imagine lots of things can be done using the basic mechanics alone.
