Fun little romp! Nice graphics, nice challenge!

I had the player state in text above everything I did (IDLE, WALK, JUMP, DEAD, etc) which was distracting. I also wish the text in the cutscenes was at the correct GB resolution. We really struggled to get our text in game because of the limitations, so takes you out of the GB immersion a bit.

Overall, very fun, well done!

This was fun. I loved the bubble lifts! However a troll face on the deathscreen? Mods, ban this guy.

But in all seriousness, this was very enjoyable.

Thank you for the Feedback! Ahh, if I told you that the bubbles lifts were NOT planned and were done 5 hours before deadline.. because we still had not completed the stair climbing mechanism so decided to do something easier and faster.. so reused the bubble shot from first boss to use as elevators. Hahaha, That's what it means to be in a game jam with time restrictions.

Hey those limitations are what gives rise to the quirky stuff that gives a game its identity. Innovation through limitation? 100% in the spirit of the Gameboy!

I wish I was better at platformers so I could enjoy this full game. It was a blast the little bit i did play

I love the graphics and the first boss battle! It was really satisfying beating the first boss after dying like 10 times but learning the patterns eventually haha. The fly ability is really cool, the wand starts to feel kind of weak traversing from the first to second boss. The game is so polished from everything from the sprites to the sound effects to the troll face on the game over screen.

Thanks for your feedback! We actually enjoyed developing this bosses. The first boss was for sure harder but FUN!. About the wand / fire spell yes, it feels weaker as enemies are harder, reason why you get a second spell after defeating the second boss, but I think we should have upgrade the first spell anyways and just add additional health to new enemies to see progress from first to second map as you mentioned. Thank you!

good game, I really liked it, the bosses mechanics are nice, after 5 attempts I managed to beat the first boss xD the second one was easier.
I invite you to play my game and give me some feedback as well ^^
