Sometimes all you need is a casual puzzle game after work or school, and this is just that! Cursed Crown, made for the NES by a one-man army; Martin Reimer. The game has been created using “Retro Puzzle Maker”.
KISS ME, OR PROBABLY NOT
A handsome (but rude) prince gets the curse of a vengeful witch that turns him into a frog! Okay, we think we have had a
storyline like that in the past, but we can’t right tell out of our brain from where. Anyway, now it is up to the prince frog to hop his way around the dungeon and swamps, solving puzzles, collecting magical gems and progressing to further
levels in order to find the answer he is looking for; the key to reverse the spell!
This graphically okay done single player game, features a whole forty levels, and we wonder if Martin is up for an update or a sequel? Guys, get him some feedback, this always helps to get homebrew improved.
The first four levels are clearly for beginners to introduce you to the game. Collect all gems, reach the exit. Then it gets slightly tricky. A door blocks the way, and you need to find the key first. Even worse, move mud blocks to fill empty gaps, you obviously can’t jump that far.
Your brain will get there, no worries. The challenge is fun tho!
