Vector Run: The Remake

The original "Vector Run" trilogy was the first big project I made with the NESMaker tool (www.thenew8bitheroes.com) in 2018. Many people enjoyed it, but I always felt there were many things that could have been improved. Three years since the release of it, I decided to take the NESMaker/scripting knowledge I learned over the years and completely rebuilt the game from the ground up while improving as much as I could... the final product is now done, and I am extremely proud of this remake.

IMPROVEMENTS/CHANGES:

Improved physics and refined controls
You can now select the chapter from the title screen without dealing with those annoying portal screens in the beginning
Almost the entire game scrolls and is no longer screen-to-screen
A more fleshed out story and ending
Improved level design and colors
Extra modes that can be unlocked

RULES:

On the title screen, choose which chapter you would like to play and press start. Then get through the chapters with as few deaths as possible.

CONTROLS:

Directional pad: Move the player
A button: Jump
B button: Advance text

FUN FACTS:

This game was built with speedrunning in mind. There are many shortcuts that can be discovered and utilized to get through the game even faster than usual.
Near the end of each chapter, there is a hidden "Easter egg" that can be found by exploring around a specific screen... here are some clues:
CHAPTER ONE: Flag
CHAPTER TWO: Portal
CHAPTER THREE: He's missing
(just remember that, in those screens, not ALL blocks are solid)
