Announcing my port of Ken's Labyrinth for Nintendo Switch
The classic MS-DOS shooter by Ken Silverman finally running native on a portable platform! This is based off the enhanced SDL port for Windows and Linux with enhanced textures and 60fps rendering.
Includes the complete game and uses Adlib emulation for the music. If there are any bugs or feedback then please let me know. The game is also in the Homebrew AppStore.

Known bugs:

  • Highscore and game saves can't get a keyboard input for name entry so they default to the name Ken or use the Switch account name if you are signed in. If there's an available on-screen keyboard for this part then let me know!
  • Stereoscopic 3D only works in docked mode. Handheld mode causes it to render the game in a small window on the bottom left of the screen.
