How does your game meet GBJam's theme?
The game has a resolution of 160x144 pixels, just like the old Gameboy.
It uses only four colors to maintain a retro aesthetic.
The spooky atmosphere fits the Game Jam's theme of "Spooky," as the game takes place in a haunted graveyard filled with monsters and puzzles.

Hello, I’m currently participating in another game jam, but after that, I’ll continue working on this game. My next step is to program a level designer. Once that’s done, there will be more levels, doors, health power-ups, weapon power-ups, and an extra challenge to complete each level.
It was a little difficult to figure out how to play. I feel like i could have mode it further if hearts healed you a little more. But the idea and game are really good overall! Good job :)
Hello, thanks for playing! After the Game Jam, I will update the game with doors, power-ups (also hearts), more levels, and an in-game description.
I thought that the idea of using the bell to find the different puzzle parts and then recreating the required shape was pretty neat!
Hello, thanks for playing. I checked the 3rd level and realized I made a mistake. I accidentally placed a puzzle piece under a stone tile. I’m really sorry for wasting your time. I’ll fix this in the web version this evening.
Pretty fun search and puzzle game! i couldnt find the last puzzle peace to the 3rd puzzle though so I couldnt finish the game after spending a hour looking for it, but otherwise it was still enjoyable :v
Hi.Thanks for the feedback, you're right, the hitboxes are a bit small, and I don't have a sprite for a hit. Thank you for playing.
Once I read the tutorial I was ready to go. The bell warning also helped quite a bit! The only item I'd say needs some tightening up would be the combat as I wasn't sure when I was actually hitting the bats. Great puzzle game!
The gameplay is pretty solid and really enjoyable, i'd just invest some more time in putting gameplay tutorials in-game, i really liked the idea and the execution, yet only after i knew how to play by taking a look in the homepage of the project, yet after that i really enjoyed the game! Hope to see more of your's project in the next jam!
(the ringbell mechanic is great tho)
I was able to build a Web-Version: https://relei2004.itch.io/bearer-of-blessings-web
Hey, thanks for playing and for your feedback, it made me really happy! I've added more information to the game page.
Once I worked out that pausing the game revealed the pattern you needed to dig around the key, I was flying!
Quite addictive - it's fun digging for what you need and fighting off enemies.
Well done!
I like the artstyle and the music and the concept is very fun but a little unclear how to play at first, maybe a little more description or tuturial at the start would help
Unfortunately, the AppImage doesn't work without the correct dependencies (based on Ubuntu 24.04).
