Well dang, that's quite the compliment there! Thanks! Also, honestly completely fair that it doesn't feel very gameboy-ish.

I did choose a palette resembling the Gameboy Light more than anything else, which is probably fine on its own... and then chose to use a dark background when a lot of devs on gameboy didn't really do that, whoops. Combine with a simplified character design, and... yeah I kinda get what you mean.

Such is the sort of thing that happens when one makes something in an almost stream-of-consciousness way due to limited time to work with I suppose!

Oh yeah, absolutely. It's kind of a reference to a thing I actually remember doing at times when I had issues with sleeping and waking up a lot throughout the night as a teenager though, so I figured, well, it's not technically unrealistic, regardless of whether it seems realistic at least, so may as well!

Thanks! Also, don't worry, you probably got through the scary head sequence exactly as intended. Confusion on what to do is actually part of the intended reaction from the player there. (On an unrelated note, I need to actually sit down and play other people's games in the Jam when I get a chance.. a lot of them seem neat and I wanna try to play as many as possible starting as soon as possible!)

Thank you! Glad you had a good time
