Do you have what it takes to get rid of every box blocking the Maze of Anctrayl? In this NES sequel to Anctrayl, the Game Boy Snake-Sokoban hybrid, your goal is to push these boxes into the goals spread across the stages. Putting a box on a goal turns it into a piece of wall - yet another obstacle to avoid - and makes your energy trail longer. There are 10 levels in total, but the game loops and gets faster once before the ending can be seen. 

Special thanks to Michel Iwaniec, who provided extensive help throughout development! I've also included a conversion of the game's ROM with a different mapper, especially meant to be played on older Everdrive models or other flashcarts without UNROM-512 support. The original ROM is considered the main version, since it's the one generated by GBDK with no modifications.

Quite an interesesting game. It has puzzles that are easy to understand, but at the same time they present a challenge when solving them. Works fine on NES. Thumbs up.
