How does your game match the theme?
It's a space shooter. I mean, it's right there in the genre.

This is a very polished game. The shmup sections are a bit simplistic, but the stage selection and inspect mechanic frame the stages nicely. Good stuff!
DAMN this is clean.
The gameplay here is very solid and enjoyable (i like the fact you can choose what and where to go here), the art looks amazing (I'll ignore the fact you used more than 4 colors simply due to how amazing this is and that it's on an actual gameboy) and the music ooooooohhhh myyyy. This is yet another one of the very smol selection of games in this jam that 1) run on an actual gameboy and 2) has music that utilises ALL the gameboy's channels effectively (aka 2 pulse, 1 wave, and 1 noise). Whoever made the music here, you deserve a medal for this.
My only smol complaint is that the boss takes 9 hits to defeat, which is very easy to do lol.
Still, this game is outstanding! Well done!
very solid entry, good job!
I like the art style and the overall gameplay loop, nice to have some breaks in gameplay to mix things :)
It was cool to investigate the planets, it gave a chill contemplative break from the shoot 'em up gameplay. I did find an anomalous amount of colors on the map-screen tho, but I aint no narc.
It is a nice game you've made, well done!
Looks like Gameboy library is missing this one.
This is a solid entry!

I really enjoyed the soundtrack for this game. All the text prompts in the map area seemed redundant and unnecessary, but not a huge deal. The enemies were really well scripted. Fun game!
Thank you! I was hoping to expand on the text but just ran out of time due to my personal life. Not making any excuses, but I actually started developing on Tuesday and finished Friday. I hope to still make it more immersive, maybe adding more to the planets you can investigate as well as more weapons and bosses. Time will tell there though :D
