Story
Project Blue is an action platformer, taking inspiration from classic 80’s titles such as Super Mario Bros and Mega Man. The protagonist is Blue, a street urchin who has been kidnapped by a nefarious corporation as part of an experimental weapons research program. You must escape from your captors, traverse the world of post-apocalyptic Hong Kong, fight your way to the Omnicorp HQ, and finally, exact revenge!
The world of Project Blue is heavily influenced by cyberpunk fiction, featuring robotic enemies, cybernetic implants, evil corporations, ruined cityscapes, and more.
What the creators have to say about the game
When working on the gameplay of Project Blue, we tried to have the objects be as interactive and dynamic as possible. For example, trampolines will be encountered early in the game, but they aren’t just for Blue to jump on – his enemies can use them too! In addition, Blue can push trampolines to relocate their position, they can be dragged by conveyor belts, and so on. Other objects that can be used by both Blue and his enemies include parachutes and flying propellers. This allows us to create environments that are interactive and immersive.
Project Blue has three difficulty modes – normal, hard and brutal. In addition, we will be including tools to allow users to create their own custom levels! We will be shipping the game with a modified version of the program we created for designing levels. With this program, players will have full control of the layout of the background, and placement of objects and enemies – either by editing
existing levels, or by creating their own from scratch.

Brings back the joy of getting a brand-new NES game. Excellent quality with the box, cartridge, and instruction manual! The game is a lot of fun and includes platforming and exploration elements. There is also a bit of puzzle in figuring out enemy patterns to progress through the room or reach a necessary item. Graphics and music are also very well done and show that a lot of care went into the game. The control is top notch and responsive. It starts off with simple rooms and soon you are jumping over enemies while trying to avoid cannon fire and laser grids at the same time. I had no issues playing this cart on my original front-loader NES.

Excellent game! Feels good to have a new game for NES and with this quality, I love it!
Very good game play and movements.
The only remark is the lack of quality for the outsite box, the paper/card does not match the quality of the other things.
Tested in my front-loader NES , European Version, no issues, perfect.
