HARDWARE

IT RUNS ON THE CONSOLE

I write KAIJU64 in C on libdragon and tiny3d, against a real N64 budget: 4MB of RDRAM, no Expansion Pak, 320x240, EEPROM save. Static asserts fail the build if it goes over. It boots from a SummerCart64 on a retail Nintendo 64 and holds 30fps at peak load.

THE ONE IDEA

DESTRUCTION IS AMMUNITION

Smashing the city fills your meter. The meter is your beam and your special. Rubble is the only ammunition you get.

LEVEL THE CITY ~ RUBBLE IS ENERGY

  • A+B TOGETHER LAUNCHES ~ FOLLOW UP IN THE AIR
  • HOLD C-UP TO CHARGE THE BEAM ~ RELEASE TO FIRE
  • Z + C-UP IS THE SIGNATURE SPECIAL
  • C-DOWN GRABS A MONSTER OR LIFTS A BUILDING
  • A FULL RAGE METER TURNS L INTO A SUPER

ROSTER
