How does your game meet GBJam's theme?
It is a gameboy rom, and the story is about trick or treating and having your candy stolen

Ditched my brother in behind some gravestones so I could terrorize the local youth safely.
I was thinking about making the player lose a life if the brother goes too far off screen but I decided to keep it as it is, you found the invincibility cheat 😆
Fun to play and a great intro cutscene to set the vibe. Great job!
Thanks for playing! :)
That was fun! The art has a strong Y2K vibe to it. The character design is charming, and the soundtrack is catchy. I liked using the claw!
Great work!
That's a lot, glad you liked it! :D
Don't mess with cats... they have *water* guns and the will take revenge !
Very cute game, lovely palette and pixel art ! great entry !!
At least the cats keep their revenge family-friendly 😆
Glad you liked the game, thanks for playing!
This game is good in all categories, including visual, sfx, and theme. It fits the gameboy era very well. Good job!
Thank you so much, glad you like it! :D
Villain arc activated! Super cool concept, the music is pretty badass too! The banner on the main page is so awesome.
Thank you so much! Shout out to the artist Bluchu for the great work on the page design :D
So inspiring to see gb ROMs coded like this! Amazing work!
Thank you so much! ZGB is a cool framework and I would definitely recommend it to anyone interested in programming gameboy roms
I loved the title screen theme, super creepy vibes! Really interesting mechanics, shoot then grab. Really cool, well done!
Thanks a lot! The mechanics were actually inspired by Ghostbusters II for the Gameboy, although we made some adjustments. They had the friendy AI character doing the "grabbing" part, but I thought that was a bit frustrating sometimes since you can't directly control the movement of that character. Still it's a fun game though so I would recommend it if you like these mechanics!
Great game love it! super cool of you to make an actual gameboy game
Thank you, glad you liked it!
nice to see a gbdk/zgb game on the list! awesome job on the music and sfx, nailed the gameboy soul vibe!
Thank you! I'm really glad you liked the music. I knew I didn't have time to come up with complicated melodies so I kept the notes simple but tried to use interesting sounds instead.
