How does your game meet GBJam's theme?
(contains spoilers for game)

In the culmination of the game, the players save file is "deleted". This is, in my opinion, one of the scariest things that could happen while playing a GB game, inspired by the likes of MISSINGNO.

Undertale meets Missingno! A brilliant concept with a fantastic execution.

That was cool! The mechanics are a bit slow, but the avoidance gameplay is fun. The art is proficient. The character design is charming. The concept and story are interesting!

The battle intro sound is a bit louder than the other sounds.

The static effect towards the end might warrant a flashing lights warning.

All-in-all, good work!

Woah, that was a difficulty spike. Sorry I didn't make it to the missingno part :(

Great game kept me entertained

A very fun game!! I like how the difficulty ramps up in the bullet hell sections and the save mechanic.

Very fun, and fantastic art! I was so sad when it ended, because I want to keep playing. The static appearing was spooky, and seeing the attack box(Sorry, I don't know what it's name is) suddenly be so small had me panicking!

The attacks were kind of slow, but still fun!

Really loved the bullet hell sections! Great blend of genres and a cool way to implement the theme.

Very cool blend of genres.   Great art as well.  I wish the dialogue, cutscene animations, and fights were all sped up by about 50%.   I was always ready to get to see the next bullet hell section.

Genuinely upset that it ended so soon. Nice escalation in difficulty too.

I enjoyed defeating those rascally hooligans in honor of my gramma!! Nice apple dodging fight :)

The little bullet hell battles are fantastic! My favourites were the butterfly's bubbles and the gnome's spades with walls - both were challenging to learn but really satisfying once I'd got comfortable with the patterns. The 1-bit art style used in these was fantastic as well, love the little speedy snakes!

The meta use of the theme is inspired, love it!

Hello! Very cool game i like it. (there is a bug when you talk with the grandma after first scene, it crashes) I think the battles are too long. You made a great work

I got soft-locked talking to granny at the start :(

Luckily, I had a Saved State! What a feature! It is very much like a game boy emulator game!

The visuals were true to game boy, but for the audio I think some music really would have added to the experience.
It feels like a good starting point to keep building from. Keep at it!
