Respect the choice for a limited Gameboy colour palette, not easy to express so much with so little colour and pixels, but you did! Lots of characters in this one, I always like breaking tables in games.


side note I completed this with a track pad on a bus.

Developer

wow. (and thanks)

You nailed the gameboy aesthetic! I love the beginning cutscene. The boss is pretty fun too, I like all the breakable stuff you can shoot at. 2 things though: The hitboxes were a little too big, and the limited colors made the bosses bullets a bit too hard to see sometimes. 

Developer

yeah, sorry about the hitboxes, i should have fixed that, but thanks for your feedback!

Submitted

Had fun with this on stream. You killed me with the opening scene. Loved the twist. Great way to start out and the desk explosions were so satisfying and I also appreciated their utility for gameplay. Great stuff.

Developer

Just watched the stream, thanks for your feedback and I'm glad you liked the game!

Fun entry, I like the intro cutscene a lot, very funny but also relatable. Combat was simple but fun! My only complaint would be that the hitboxes felt a little big on the boss' projectiles; I felt like I was dodging them sometimes but they would still hit me.

Developer

sorry about that, but im glad you liked it

Great humor and use of a limited palette! Really enjoyed my time playing! Nice work!

Developer(+1)

thanks!

Really liked the humorous intro :D

perhaps a checkpoint after the first phase could have been nice especially when being hit once would instantly kill you. great use of the limited colour palette they always are a challenge!


PS: that staple gun causes some serious damage! Very nice blowing up the furniture effects!

thank for your feedback, im glad you liked it!

Love this game, had a great time playing it! I had a bit of trouble seeing the bullets, but because of the limited colour palette, I don't think you could have really done anything about that.

Developer(+1)

sorry about that, this is my first game with such a limited color palette, but im glad you liked it!

Submitted

Is there something you want to say to your boss bluegamemc ? xD

Developer

Submitted

Developer

funny intro and easy to control, loved the exploding desks

Developer

Im glad you liked it

I had a great time playing this quick little boss fight. The destructible desks really added to the fun. However, I found the text that appeared after beating the boss to be too fast and was unable to read all of it. Nonetheless, it was a great experience overall.

Developer

you are right about the text, but im glad you liked the game

Submitted

10/10 Relatable

Developer

ha thanks

Submitted

nice game juicy gameplay! loved the art and the boss but my only feedback is that the bullets are hard to see and half of my deaths were due to bullets blending in with the background but i do understand since you were using a gameboy palette

Developer

Thanks! The bullets do blend in a lot...

Submitted

The sound and visuals worked great together.  Desk destruction 10/10.  I'd recommend maybe an arrow pointing to the boss if he's offscreen?  It felt easy to run away and lose track of him.

Developer

Thats a great idea, thank you!

Submitted

I really liked the hilarious  conversation and the boss fight. And also, it's really useful to have low quality settings lol!

Developer

thanks lol

Submitted

I like the destruction of the desks, it looks so cool. I got to the second boss and it was a fair and fun fight

Developer(+1)

Thank you! i spent far too long making sure the desks were fun to destroy, im glad you liked it

Submitted

This was a fun boss fight and I loved the GB graphics.

Developer

Thank you!
