That's a cute game, and the effects are pretty good, well done!
Cool game really fun :)
Cute and simple, make me think of a reverse Downwell but where you fart on enemies! (maybe playing too much of Wario in Smash Bros didn't help)
I love the GameBoy aesthetic! Lovely art and the game feels smooth to play, and rather challenging, which fits perfectly with that era of games :D
Not sold on how the theme was used, but still a very nicely made game! Good job.
It is a Gameboy game 😁
Interesting game with nice art. Challenging arcade. Great work!
The hardest moment is starting your game!!! The game is awesome!!! 5stars i ve enjoyed
The game has simple mechanics, but at the same time hard and interesting.
Definitely come back to replay it, and finally defeat final boss
I tried quite a few times, but even with the explanation in the description I wasn't able to get to the boss. Otherwise this game is very good, though! It looks great and it's very impressive that it works on an actual Game Boy. Good work overall.
sorry you were having trouble, if it helps try staying to the left of the screen as well near the top. You can go partly off screen without trigging a game over
Damn that boss was hard, but very fun! This game is very simple yet very enjoyable.
Awesome job!
Really cute game! Love the graphics and the gameplay is clever ^^
Nice game! Love the Gabe-Boy wibes. This could be a hit on mobile, try consider it! Good job!!!
I loved the gameboy feel, you really nailed it, well done!
Very easy to understand and play. The style, along with the music and graphics, is very well executed and cohesive. The variety of hazards adds to the enjoyment.
It's a fun, solid game!
I love how this looked and sounded. Also loved the creative gameplay.
Neat idea! I love the gameboy style, the art style is very cohesive - presentation is excellent! The music goes well too. I did find the controls really frustrating though, which made it less enjoyable for me, I couldn't get to the boss. I think a screen with the controls on it at the beginning would help. But maybe I just suck xD
sadly there's a bit of a bug at the end of the first level, if you check the description it goes over it and the controls as well also the text at the beginning of the game explains the controls too
a real gamrboy gameboy game Now that's something extra cool! I Love the artwork and the game's feeling is just right! You are a genius.
Love love LOOVEEE the simple color palette and overall really well made pixel-art design! Suuper well done :D
Really well presented, the feeling of the rocket moving is really satisfying. Wonderful little retro title. Great work!
Love the presentation and the creativity of this game 👽 at first I couldn't work out why I was restarting the level over and over again immediately, but I think I was flying too fast and being hit by the boundary of the screen. I could absolutely see this being played on a gameboy!
actually it is a Gameboy game, works on real hardware 😁
A very nice game! It’s not always clear which elements are in the foreground and which are in the background, but that’s really the only negative thing I could say about it. Nicely done!
