The Tower of Zeldaga is a mashup of the Legend of Zelda and Tower of Druaga.
Every room has a secret puzzle and the puzzles get more obtuse as you go on.
It's free, runs in your browser (incl mobile), supports controllers, and I'd really love for you to try it out!

I didn't enjoy NES Metroid until I stopped trying to follow guides and started drawing my own maps.
I loved videogames as a kid because they gave me a peek into another world. They're not just a bunch of systems to overcome. Sometimes it's worth taking time to explore and chart your own course.

Twinkle Girl has been revealed, filling in one of these seven silhouettes! And the new Jet Stinger weapon must surely come from the one with the pointy head/helmet that's facing to the left. Is that Jet Man? What other revised predictions do you now have after Capcom's Gamescom reveals? #MegaManDO
