The whole game is designed around a unique checkpoint mechanic that will only award a checkpoint when the player proves their mastery of a screen. Since this is a very challenging game that might not appeal to everyone I've decided to release it for free so people can try it and see if it's for them. This game was made in the old NESmaker 4.1.5 and a lot of asm-coding.
There is also going to be a cartridge release and a Slow Mole + -version, with some more secrets, music and additional unlockable challenge levels. (But note that the vanilla version is very much a complete game already and it will take even high skill players hours to beat and even longer to unlock the secret levels.)
We're designing the PCBs ourselves (Kristofer is a professional hardware designer and coder), this is the working prototype of the famicom cartridge:
