*whispers something about TRAXE*
TRAXE is a tracker I made a while ago. It is built around the freq( command, so it's monophonic right now. I could modify it to be polyphonic or just write a new tracker from scratch (probably easier)

This is awesome. May I ask how you interpret strings (take, eat, etc.)?

That is pretty cool. I thought you just tokenized the string.

I wonder, calc84maniac, if you ever considered doing a TI-Nspire and HP Prime version of this at one point? Of course, I don't know if Lua and HP PPL would be fast enough for vector graphics, but maybe in C/ASM (assuming the HP Prime ever gets C/ASM support)? You could even have double buffering and introduce animations in each scenes where the camera moves around.

Nah, those systems aren't 8-bit enough to be worthy of a port

Wow, just wow... Calc84... I've come to expect great things from you, but this is fantastic! How did you manage such sound quality? How many channels does it support?

I was able to get this sound quality by using a sample-based approach, along with buffered audio. I'm able to fairly efficiently buffer a segment of audio in advance while the other buffer is being played via interrupts, then use whatever CPU time is left over for the rest of the game's processing. I'm supporting 3 channels since that's what the music in this game requires and it keeps the CPU usage at a reasonable level. It can play either 3 square waves or 2 square waves + 1 white noise.

Yet this only gets 6 downloads on ticalc.org because it's not called Mario...

People just don't expect such awesome things on a calculator and thus don't search for it

Maybe the Steins;gate fandom will appreciate it. I posted it on Tumblr and it got 12 notes (reblogs/likes), which is not bad for my blog.
