I like this little game.
The issue with running the game on a classic Game Boy (DMG) was mentioned before, I just saw.
(All the stones have the same color.)

Would be so cool that have this fixed. :)

I will fix this bug, thanks for the comment

This game is more fun than a box of rocks! Actually, it made me smile.

Hello, game is funny, simple but funny :)

So I understand the principle of the game which looks like a "snake", but as soon as there are two stones, when I take the first, I systematically lose, I tried 3 times, and I never exceeded the score of 5, did I miss something?

forgot to fix this. There's a stone that you die when you pick it up, it's different by color, but I forgot that some would play on devices that don't support color

But I will test this on my GBC then :) . Indeed a little title screen that says you can't play it on DMG or pocket will be essential I think ;) .

Indeed it works much better :D

Fun concept! Reminds me of Snake but with a different spin.

I got up to 42! The first time I played I died because a red stone spawned on top of me :/

Overall, had a fun time with it. It's pretty addicting.

Fun game! Replayable. Cool tunes. Fits within the theme. I like the graphics, but the box could be more polished if I compare with the other stuff. Didn't get past 20 stones, but I'll give it another go after this comment. :)

The game is simple but very fun and addictive, something i definitely enjoy on the gameboy!
