Neat little game. I liked the graphics and the pentagrams where you could 'buy' upgrades. Sometimes after getting resurrected, the enemy shots would just instantly kill you over and over. I had quite a few rooms that were empty, looks like the maps were procedurally generated which is pretty cool.
I did think is felt weird to move from the game to the Gameboy UI. Moving the mouse to press A after using keyboard in the game...kind of broke the 4th wall...so I guess you were ready for that potential theme as well. But it did feel a little awkward to press 'A' on screen.
Nice controls and lore text, I thought they were kind of amusing.
This is a simple and fun little game. The visuals and the music is good. The randomness of choosing new levels, was in the beginning of play test very bad, because I got a lot empty levels with absolute no action. Overall a pretty good, but perhaps also a bit unfinished little jam game.
Nice little game, almost PICO-8 style - I like it. Didn't like the controls (movement and aim combined).
Sorry about the controlls. my game engine is very limited
Awesome making it like a gameboy
I played this game on my phone and it is pretty fun. I like the design and mechanics!
Nice game, just hard to play on PC
good game too loud
ummm. all screen devices come with a voleume button and if you press the "Menu" button then it has voleume settings as well
oh I did not see the volume button when playing it
I love your take on the theme! Sacrificing yourself for upgrades is a neat idea!
Nice little game, liked the "gameboy style" aesthetic. Good job.
Here is my (first) game jam entry. Check it out if you like:

Thanks!
Amazing game! It is simple and cool. I'm curious about the game engine you used to do it. The idea of dying to upgrade and then be revived by the almighty is cool and fits perfect with the theme. And the Lore is very interesting. Nice work!
Thanks! I used the Microsoft make-code arcade engine for it. It uses visual scripting!
Cool game! I really like the artstyle reminds me a lot of PICO-8 games. I found it a little hard to understand what to do and where to go so my suggestion to improve the game is maybe to have a tutorial, in the beginning, introducing the concepts of the game. Other than that great job :)
Thanks!
