I just released my brand-new Nintendo 64 game: Phazer 64. It's a love letter to #CommanderKeen and other games that inspired me as a kid to become a game developer. You can play it on your device via the ares emulator or watch a playthrough on YouTube, links here: www.phazer64.com #N64BrewJam

Johannes Roth Core Production - Phazer 64

One forbidden button. One blown-up satellite. Zero time before Mom gets home! Phazer 64 is a retro-flavored 2D space adventure blending UFO action, RPG exploration, and platforming - on Nintendo 64.

Do you love N64 games? I sure do ... Did you know that it's very easy to start developing games for the original hardware? Even though I never coded in C, I had my first minigame up and running within 4 hours - right on my childhood Nintendo console and CRT.

I made this app alone! But did I? 🤔 The truth is, I built my free meditation app using tools made by thousands of developers, artists, and contributors—both open-source and commercial. Without them, this wouldn’t exist. So, in a way, this feels like a community effort. (1/5)

Did you know? 😨 New personal accounts on Google Play Store MUST run a closed alpha test with at least 12 active testers for 14 days - no alpha, no launch button! 🤯 It felt weird to start at zero again. But at the same time, the test was super valuable and improved the app a lot. Fingers crossed. 🤞
