It’s true! Ruby & Rusty Save the Crows will be a physical Gameboy/Gameboy Color game.

Thanks to Bitmapsoft, we’re releasing a gorgeous physical version of Ruby & Rusty that can be played on real or reproduction hardware. It also comes with a digital ROM of the game so you can play it on your computer. 

This is a great option for people without the hardware who want to support my game dev or just love the physical package

Imagine plugging this deep red cartridge into your Gameboy or Gameboy color and being transported to the days of fun, simple, addictive gameplay. With the great graphics, music, and level design of Max Oakland’s games. You’ll be throwing turnips at worms and evil scarecrows for hours on end. And once you beat the game, there’s an extra challenge mode that will really take it to the next level!

The first 100 preorders will include a soundtrack CD (with digital download code) and a sticker sheet with really cute art. Right now we’ve sold 60 and we need to sell 40 more to begin the manufacturing order

Each cartridge comes with a box and a full color instruction book I illustrated myself. Here’s a screenshot of some of the art:
