Cool look to this game. Also very cool that you got it running on Gameboy.

Submitted

Good game! Thanks!

Submitted

Nice game! Very fun and simple. It surprise me that you can run it in a Gameboy, congrats!

Submitted

Fun and simple little minigame! Congrats on being able to make it function on hardware as well. The game did feel a lot faster, which made it a lot harder, than what the video entails though.

Submitted

Awesome work! Love the simple yet fun gameplay and the art!

Submitted

Simple game, yet fun to play! What hardware is that? Is it a pybadge?

Developer

Yaaayyy

This is an arduboy, the one on my video was made by me (it runs on an arduino pro micro) but you can Google arduboy and find their page and forums

(but I really wanna get my hands on a pybadge, but for now even the lite version is too expensive for me QwQ)

Submitted

love the simplicity and mechanics of the game. also art style is very good

Developer(+1)

yaayyy
i had a really hard time trying to get to a simple pixel art that could work on that size and look good, but i'm super happy with it :D

Submitted

Love that you got it running on your own hardware, that's really cool! Had fun playing it but I am terrible at it hahah

Developer

hahaha even i am bad at it hahaha, but it makes me super happy that you had fun :D

Submitted

Super innovative game (and hardware device!). Love the challenge as well, very well designed and dosed.

 keep up the good work!

Developer

thanks! :D
it makes me super happy that you enjoyed it :D

Submitted

Pretty fun game. Very cool you got this on some kind of hardware device. Could it maybe be the game physics are attached to your framerate? I have a 144hz screen and the game felt waaay too fast for me.

Developer

oh.... i didn't tought on that, but yes all is attached to framerate, since the game runs on hardware we just lock it to a framerate and work from there
but i guess the emulator could have those flaws

Submitted

awesome!  cool graphics and controls, the gameplay gives a challenging arcade action, it was a great immersive gameplay experience! overall I enjoyed playing this, congratulations! keep it up!

Submitted

Love the simple graphics. Super fast pacing makes for a hectic experience. But in the end, them cooties gon git ya

Developer

glad you liked it! 
and there's no scape from the cooties! D:

Submitted

Really cool! This was my first playing an Arduboy game and it was a very fun experience.

Well done!

Developer(+1)

if you really enjoyed it, i recomend you to go to the arduboy forums
there's a lot of games that are waayyy bettter than mine, and super impresive

Submitted (1 edit)

I checked the Arduboy website, it is really impressive. I thinking of getting one ;)

Submitted

Hi!

I couldn't find an arduboy to buy, so I make one!

Thanks for introduce to me the arduboy!


Submitted

The fact that you ran this on your own system is so flippin cool! I'd love to be able to do something like that someday. You've made a cute lil cootie crushing game, and you should be super proud!

Developer

hahaha thanks! this comment made me specially happy! and yash i am super proud!

also, speaking of my quagguino (or any arduboy clone) they take some little work but not as hard to make as they look, and it's a really fun project that i really recommend!

Submitted

I was waiting for the next level to appear until I noticed the levels changed as you killed the cooties. I wish there were a set amount of entities per level as I feel it would have felt more rewarding.

Good job!

Developer

sadly i noticed this after i submited it, but i'm planning on doing something like that in the future, i wanna add a level system :D and maybe a little coin/shop thing

Submitted

gg!

Submitted

Damn this game was pretty hard, but the difficulty made me want to play it more to try and beat my previous high score never got out of the 200's though

Developer

hey! 200 is pretty good! and i'm glad it produced that, soon i'll fix some things (after the jam is over) and it'll be more rewarding and easier :D

Submitted

That's awesome it was very much had that like flappy bird effect where it was simple but addicting enough to make you want to keep playing to beat your high score 

Submitted (1 edit)

This is a very hard game and the bug with bullets running "with" you is not making it easier, but is fun!

Submitted

It's a pretty simple game but the fact that it can run on an arduboy is pretty awesome. The emulator works well. Although, at least for me, it felt like the game was running really fast. After many tries I got a score of 470. I wish I could see the game in action in an arduboy! Well done!

Developer

the speed is a little problem on the emulator, i uploaded a little video for you :D is on the post
also that a really good score :D yaayyyy
