How does your game meet GBJam's theme?
The main character enters a Halloween world full of monsters in a Gameboy to save his brother.

Please, use the exe version for now. I left the web version (because, you know, it's for the lazy) :D. Currently, the web version has a slight bug that imposes an outline that looks like a lighter color, which is not true, because the entire game uses 4 colors.

very smooth gameplay.  I love the snappy jumps and weapon throw, which also comes back like a boomerang. I do appreciate the checkpoints because even though i am a decent platform player, i died a lot. Also i really like how you can not pick up candies when you have 5 of them, it makes it a safety candy pickup if you need one without dying.

Very cute 2d platformer :) I particularly liked the way the thrown weapon bends back towards you, which gives you a new way to hit monsters.

The main idea was for the gameboy to come back to us like a boomerang, opening different attacks, instead of changing weapons. Thanks!

This is so classic. With my platforming skills the amount of checkpoints really helped xD

Here I can thank my girlfriend. As a Souls'Like player I have a problem with difficulty level , but she goes through the test versions and says "oh, it's too hard, give me a checkpoint" xD Glad it helped!

The web version has a little bug and sometimes make a outline (which seems to make exceed with the 4 colors), it was not possible to fix it in time, so you need to have that in mind while playing on it on web.

In the exe, however, the bug doesn't occur. (Left web vs right exe)
