While playing all the entrys musltiple times, I saw graphics and dialoge have issues while playing on a classic Game Boy (DMG).
You should consider blocking the game for playing on a DMG.
Nice concept though! :)
At first I did not understand how to play at all. After some trial and error and finally understanding what the tutorial actually means, I really enjoyed it! I finished the game and really enjoyed the ending too, I found it very funny. The music was annoying by the end but I congratulate you on making your own! The puzzle design was really strong! I felt lost at times, and I would have preferred a simpler start to understand it all, but I got there in the end. Really great work for only 7 days!
I test the game on Game Boy Dmg, but I have no text, is it a Game Boy Color only game?
It works fine on web play and android emulator(SuperGBC) . Not sure on pc emulator. It should probably be for GBColor as color plays a big part in the game.
So, I confirm that it works perfectly on a GBC :) . You should think about putting a little note at the beginning of the game, or on the description to say that it doesn't work on a DMG, otherwise you risk disappointing people ;) . I liked the atmosphere of the game, with these corridors, and its quests of password, it reminded me "Deap Fear" on saturn, with the jump in time / sphere in more :) even if it's a bit repetitive. On the other hand the music is a little too repetitive, I don't know if that's why you put the option to cut it on the first computer of the game ? :) . Bravo and good luck for the Jam :)
Thanks for the feedback! It's all I can ask for to improve on the game.
Yes, the music is really bad and indeed why the option is there. :)
Very unique concept, at first I thought it might be a bit overwhelming but I managed to learn my way around and get to the end!
Neat mechanic and a cool way to tell a story. I think it'd be cool to see this used in various settings.
I love the vibe, nice arts and sound!!
