About this build
Bramble Isles is an original 16-bit side-scroller built on the snesrev/smw decomp, the community C reimplementation, compiled to WebAssembly. Only the game code and structural facts (sizes, counts, timing, entrance and warp anchors) come from the decomp; every course, the overworld, all graphics, palettes, music, sound effects, instrument samples and text are new, generated for this project. It runs natively with no ROM at run time.
