VVVBBB
I am gonna make a start with a hommage to an existing game. “VVVBBB”, a VB version of Terry Cavanagh’s action platformer “VVVVVV”, where you invert gravity instead of jumping.
During the past months, I have been working with jorgeche on a new version of the VBJaEngine, which saw a complete rewrite and is now much more capable and accessible than before. When I finally got the hang of it and understood enough of how things work in the engine, it became clear to me that all of a sudden I was able create any game I wanted for the VB. The “if” was no longer that important, but rather the “what”.
This is one game I imagine could be done relatively easy.

I just looked for the skull in Wario Land Parasyte mentioned. It indeed seems to be part of a level select, but not used as a cursor. When you look at BGMap memory while on the title screen, there’s a list of level numbers. The skull is used as a boss indicator. This list doesn’t match the level numbering scheme found in the final game, so it seems to be a beta leftover.
Note that a very similar skull can be found on the final level map.
While on the title screen, there’s also a lettering that reads “Ver.”, which looks like it was used in beta versions to indicate the version number.
And here’s the appropriate shirt for your red paletted adventures. 😀
