Lily Lander C64
The emulator above is VICE.js, a javascript port of VICE available here. Thank you to everyone who has contributed to it to allow us to emulate a C64 in the browser!
Note about browser play: loading can take a long time. For a better experience, download the disk file below and run it on your computer with VICE or other C64 emulator.
A one-button game of jump timing for the Commodore C64
An endless game of leaping from one lilypad to the next!
A true 8-bit modern retrogame, coded in machine language from scratch, Lily Lander boasts real pixel art credentials.
Requirements:
- PAL C64 (chill mode)
- NTSC C64 (not-so-chill mode)
- Play in browser (new! - 12/5/19)
- C64 Emulator
- or, a MISTer loading the C64 core
Instructions:
Joystick button 1 or spacebar to play
Enjoy!

My download will not load. I am trying to play on The C64 mini. This is the very first game I've ever downloaded/paid for on itch.io. If it will not work, can I get my money back?

Hi! Sorry you’re having trouble. The truth is that Lily Lander was our first ever C64 game and made on a short deadline for a gamejam, so it’s missing a “fast-loader”, something to load the software quickly with a launch screen.
As such, the game takes several minutes to load, and without a real disk drive chuttering away at you there might be no evidence the game is loading until it finally does. If you try loading it and it takes more than 5 minutes, something else must be wrong.
I have looked around to see if I could issue a refund, but I don’t see the option at first glance. If the software still will not work on TheC64 mini, I will do my best to find a way to refund your purchase.
Hey turtlepanda.games,
I'll give it another try and be more patient.
THANKS so much for your kind reply! No refund needed. Please keep coding!

Fun little game. I hope to see more from pandas with turtle shells.
Thanks for your submission to the assembler competition. This game is 100% pure assembler...! Fantastic...! Now I am going to test in FreeDOS and the VICE emulator...; My submission will be only 50% (Most of the work was made for Michael Kamburelis and Castle Engine, many years ago)
It does take a minute or two to load. I didn't know C64 games could be played through the browser like that. My best score was 38. :/
I saw "ready", but i can't see any gameplay.
Sometimes the emulator doesn’t type “RUN”. Try typing RUN followed by enter.
Browser version just loading...
:-(
It takes like 3 minutes to load, because it’s a C64 game without a fastloader. 🙃
Excellent, fun little game with gorgeous graphics!
