An actual Game Boy game! Nice job!

The game accurately captures the feel of classic video games, all the way down to the simple but iconic music and sounds the game has haha! I feel like maybe there could be more of an indicator for how much health I currently have, and furthermore a way for me to deal with enemy attacks. But overall, I think this game does well at what it sets out to do!

Developer

Thanks! Agree with you on hte health thing - I was going to add health pick-ups and smart bombs, but didn't have time.

oh wow! This even has mobile support, thats cool. Turned my phone into a Gameboy. I Like the twist that you are playing a PC Tower.  :) Art is fitting and nice, music was a Bit repetetive . 
had fun playing this! Nice Submission.

Developer

Thank you! The mobile support is a happy side effect of using GBStudio to export to web.

Very challenging and reminiscent of a time long gone. I think the controls could use some fine tuning, though. It can get very overwhelming very quickly

Developer

Thanks! I used the "point and click" scene type which probably wasn't the best to use. I think "Adventure" would have given me a bit more control over those things.
