Being made on GB Studio, and it seems to be your first game. I'm impressed, even tho it is unfinished, I hope to see this becoming a fun game one day, once finished. good job!

CaliginosityReally nice artwork and music choice.
Would have liked the attacks to feel a bit punchier, but still loved the overall aesthetic.
You should definitely continue this post-jam :)

Catastrophe at SeaCongrats on your first jam game!
Graphics were nice, I liked the palette and sprite-work, reminds me of Castlevania. Though the style is really wanting that third and fourth shades of grey the gameboy had.

Against Eternal NightI like the graphics style and the player animation is clean and punchy. Enemies do need more work, as graphically they blend in the background, and there's no hit feedback. I'd like to see a metroidvania out of this. Have you considered continuing work on it for the MVM Jam?

VL4D: Escape From Beam CityGreat pixel art! I was transported in past, when I was a kid with my GameBoy. Really good vibes.

Across the RIFT 🌓👽Congratulations on your first jam! I read your page so I was expecting the art to look rough since you mentioned the difficulty making it 1-bit but honestly, you killed it. It looks fantastic! Light on the gameplay side but for a first jam, really solid. Nicely done overall!

Umbral InterludeVisually, this game is stunning for the game boy. This project definitely has the potential if you continue developing it. Great work!

敵: Light & Darkness [1-BIT JAM]Enjoyed it a lot! Even more impressed if you are new to pixel art, because the game looks beautiful.
I believe that sometimes the tight limitations (either technical, or the ones we impose on ourselves) bring out the best of our creativity, and that's why I love this kind of jams, and retro games in general. Again, excellent submission, and hope to see more of your work in the future!!
