Slowly, slowly making a Super Nintendo game

A demonstration of the new transpose behaviour.
Yesterday I finished a playtest build of my SNES game
I'm one step closer to releasing a game.
Lots of stuff I've got to do in 2 weeks: Enemy projectiles, enemy graphics, boss, title screen, game over screen, pause screen, credits, and more levels.

SNESdev daily log 1:
Finished drawing the tileset.
I ran out of time (if I'm to meet my self-imposed deadlines) but this is a good place to stop.
I wasn't able to come up with a left/right wall design, it's just a 2px black border.
(Pink is transparent and dark-magenta are unused tiles).

Unfortunately the sliding velocities can stack and I cannot see any easy and quick way to limit maximum velocity while still maintaining 32-angle polar movement.
In this example, I'm holding left/right and tapping up/down.
The stacking sliding velocities cause a unwanted speed boost.

My polar+cartesian movement idea is a bust.
I thought I could have a polar movement velocity and a cartesian sliding velocity.
The sliding velocity would be decremented by a friction value, which changes based on the entity's state (ie running, on-ice, slow, etc).

Added set_fir_filter, set_fir_tap and adjust_fir_tap instructions to my SNES audio driver.
The FIR filter manipulates the echo buffer feedback and can add character to the SNES's echo.
Headphones recommended, the echo FIR filter changes in this example are subtle.
