ZELDISH
The game takes place on the Overworld map from The Legend of Zelda. You are trying to collect the seven orbs. The only enemies are skeletons and a red witch.
You don't get any items, but you can switch tiles around using magic. The red witch can also change tiles. Really, anything that happens that seems like a bug or a glitch is, in fact, the red witch's evil magic.
I wanted to make a game where players experience a familiar space in a new way.
Thank you for playing,

ABOUT THE GAME:
This is my first jam entry. Zeldish is written using Python/Pygame. Graphics were edited with GIMP. A million thanks goes out to the makers of open source game art, without whom my untalented self would be stuck making Tetris clones. Also special thanks to Al Sweigart, who managed to pull the map data off of The Legend of Zelda.
DATA:
This game uses the map layout data from Al Sweigart’s Zelda Walking Tour map, which you can find out about at <http://inventwithpython.com/blog/2012/12/10/8-bit-nes-legend-of-zelda-map-data/>;.
Though the map data was used, none of Sweigart's source code was used.
