cute art style, pretty game.

you could make player as a soul of the body in the dream world and it's task is to find the real you the real body and whenever he touches other character it say's that's not the real me or something like that lol

Developer

Thank you so much! :)
I thought about making one of the characters the real one as well. Couldn't find a solution I was 100% happy with though.
But changing the dialog to "I'm not real" is a  good idea. I like it!

The visuals are amazing, I love the use of colors! Great game!

I just rated your game, maybe you can do the same on mine ^_^

Developer

Thanks a lot! :)
I'm glad you liked it.

I'll try to rate as many games as I can within the next days. Of course I'll look into the games from my comment section as well.

Good retro style game, I like the characters. It feels like it controls pretty well, I just kinda suck at platformers.

Developer

Thanks a lot. :)
Yeah, I put a lot of work into the controls, but some jumps are pretty hard. I absolutely fail myself to finish the game from time to time!

Really cute little game. Brings back memories! Well crafted, on theme, simple but fun! Great job!

Developer

Thank s a lot! :)
Was pretty fun to work on.

I really enjoyed the game even though it took me a bit to figure out the best way to navigate through it button wise, it was very fun to play!

Developer(+1)

Thank you so much for playing! :)
I hope you found a good way to control. On original Game Boy you wouldn't have to worry about that to much though.
btw: The web build should also have controller support, if you don't like using the keyboard! :)

That's so cool and impressive that this game not only works on the web but also as a real GB game! The art is so nostalgic and well done and the music accomplishes the same thing! I loved loved loved it and felt like I was a kid again! Great job!

Developer

Oh wow! Thank you one hundred times for your kind words! :)

Submitted(+1)

The art in this looks good! I didn't mange to find all my friends before my alarm woke me up :(

Developer

Thanks a lot for playing! :)
Glad you liked the artstyle.
If I expand this game after the Game Jam, I'll implement an easy mode!

Submitted(+1)

That came out really good, I'm going to have to watch your twitch. 

Developer

Thank you so much for your kind words. :)
I will play some of the Game Jam submissions on my Twitch channel within the next days.

Developer

It was a bit hard to understand how to reach the first scene (run + jump) but the game was pretty cool and that's great to see games like this made in GBStudio for a jam!

Developer

Oh, I'm so used to running and jumping in platformers, that I absolutely didn't think about that this could happen.
I will keep it in mind for future games, to make controls more clear! :)
Thank you for playing and your friendly comment!

Submitted(+1)

This was great! I love that it runs on the actual hardware/emulator also. This definitely brought back so many Gameboy memories. It was very fitting of the style, for sure.

I would agree with some of the other comments, some of the jumps were unforgiving, for sure. But this was awesome!

Developer (1 edit) (+1)

Thanks a lot!
I'm really glad you liked it!

Yeah, there are three hard jumps in the game. If I will update the game after the Game Jam, I will include an easy mode with slightly altered jump physics!

Submitted(+1)

I'd love to play again after your flesh things out a bit. It might give me a reason to get something along these lines: https://shop.insidegadgets.com/product/gameboy-4mb-32kb-fram-mbc3-with-rtc-flash...

Not selling or spamming or anything.  Just the first one that popped up in a google search. :D

cool game

Developer

Thanks a lot! :)

Interesting game, I liked the old snes graphics and sounds. My movement system kept glitching and would constantly moved either left or right.

Other than that, the game was well put together.

Developer

Oh, I sorry you had some issues with the controls.
May I ask if you played this in browser? And which browser?

Thank you for playing my game and the comment though! :)

Submitted(+1)

I played on Chrome.

Developer

Hmm, strange. I just tested it, works for me on chrome.
I usually use firefox though.  

Thanks for the answer, I will  watch out if anyone else is having trouble.

Like the Game a lot - the Alarm kills me everytime in reality too :D

Developer

Thank you so much! Yeah, the alarm sound ended  up quite realistic, got me a few times as well! :D

Cute graphics! Some of the jumps are a bit unforgiving, sadly.

Developer

Thank you so much!
Yes, there are 3 hard jumps in the game. If I had more time, I would have made an easy mode, with slightly altered jumping physics.

What made u want to make it for the gameboy?

Developer

I started making  music on the Game Boy in 2008. So I'm quite familiar with the hardware already. It's also a nostalig childhood memory thing . :)
