They came to wreak Hell! No one knew where the Blobs had come from, but Earth sure learned what they were here for quickly.

They came to wreak Hell is a free scrolling action shooter for the NES, Team Disposable's submission for the 2022 NESDEV compo.

Originally an entry to the NESDEV 2022 compo (currently still being judged in November 2022) all updates will be posted here.

Great work!  Featured in my NES Homebrew Horror video.

Nice! Thanks!

I'm really enjoying your game! Any chance of  a manual in the future? It would be nice to have an official story, game play-enemies-weapons description, etc. Even a text file would be cool.

Thanks for playing and commenting! I'm in the middle of another project right now, but I'll definitely put it on the list of things to do.

really fun!  Haven’t played too far into it yet but the action is really nice and the music is catchy, found myself shooting along to the beat at the blobs lol,  glad vintage is the new old posted about your game so I was able to hear about it! 

Yeah, Vintage is the New Old is the best! Thanks for playing!

Very cool game. I really enjoyed it!
