Strong points: 

  • catchy music 
  • I liked the multiple choice idea but wished that it would resolve in some gameplay use 
  • That last sentence on the raft killed me :D 

Other Feedback

  • pretty straight forward , more or less a walking simulator without any gameplay mechanics

It was a very short game which created big expectation due to the multiple choice idea and the "overworld screen" with the icons for the different zones. I found the latter a clever idea to make travelling around the island fast. I would have wished those Multiple choices would have different effects and gameplay twists

hi. Thank you very much for feedback!

We did had ideas about quests and mini games per / person to be helped but as nobody in the team ever worked with gb game development before, it took us a lot of our time just to learn the tools. So we were actually very happy to just deliver something to be honest :D

I liked the hub concept for getting to different parts of this adventure game world! I did, however, have a few problems displaying text on my Game Boy Dmg, as you'll see from the photos! A good Gb studio game ;)

Thanks for playing. You are right about the text, as we didnt knew we could only use 3 lines. If we try to finish the game, that will be one of the things go fix it.

Quick and simple game. The music was really nice and in line with the upbeat mood of the game. I really like the overall Map feature to navigate around the island - that was genius! Also, I couldn't figure out how to cycle through the dialogue options at first and my have upset one of the villagers (oops! lol) - but I still I managed to get the raft to go home!Hah!

Developer
