How did you choose to implement the Theme: Spear in your game?
The Javelin toss is a classic Olympic sport where an athlete attempts to throw a spear or javelin as far a possible.
How ever here we are taking it into a different direction and using these javelins as a means to replicate a classic shooter game. Using GB studio for a retro and classic feel something like if Duck Hunt as built for a hand held device.

Nice fun retro game for this jam! As a newer game developer I'm impressed you did this all yourself so great work! The only thing I would constructively critique is the music sounding out of place and a bit ominous. Other than that I like it!
yeah I kind of called it in on the music. music is not my strong point and the gameboy chiptune restrictions throw me off even more.
but GB Studio is still a great engine for that retro feel
