Description

This game recently won the TIGSource VGNG competition. If you like weird indie games (and I think perhaps you do) then you really should check this contest out. ROM CHECK FAIL is an arcade mashup. Or perhaps it's a remix. An homage? I'm not sure. Try it out and let me know :)

Changes

Linux version updated. Should work for people who don't have the same version of python installed (or don't have python installed at all) now.

A friend of mine told me about this. I'd seen it before on this website, so I had assumed the creator copied the idea. I had no idea it was the exact same game. I gave it a try, just for the heck of it (plus my friend wouldn't stop bugging me to try), and...well, um... it's...it's an okay game, I guess... Okay, it's genius! I can't believe I didn't try it before! Good for you, man! This game rocks!!!

This is truly the work of a genius! =D From the screenshot alone you can tell you're looking at something good, but that's nothing compared to the feeling of excitement of when you actually understand what the game is about. =D Say, is there any plans for extending the game?

Shundread: Can you let me know how the new version goes? Hopefully it'll be fine now. Aldondc: Do _to_ me? Nothing I hope. Please don't make me file a restraining order.

Farbs, you genius... What shall I do to thee for creating such a wondrous game? Love it. I just wish there would be a certain period of invincibility between transitions... But other than that, it is absolute genius.

Awesome. W.P. (the kind fellow who ported my games) is looking into this now. Thanks for the info. This stuff is extremely helpful.
