A Gameboy game? That's so cool!

I like the fact that we can still drive while eyes are closed, haha. 

Very good job!

Very impressive!

How would you say it fits the theme? Just the coffee being used up and/or ending in a crash? I ask in case I missed something.

Ye first i wanted to make the real game with the car just slowly breaking down with warning lights. (which are hidden in the sprites but unused) But the 2ndary theme of the Desert Bus Jam called for a coffee implementation. So if you poorly manage your coffee sips, you will crash. 

The real game would have been 8 hours, so it breaking down would have been more fitting of the theme I do say.

A really good entry by a developer who clearly knows their way around Gameboy development. It is very well put together and aesthetically pleasing. It makes me wish that I still had my original Gameboy so that I could try it out on real hardware. Also, the extra effort put in in creating the manual and trimmings of the game shows pspiso's dedication to creating a professional package for players to enjoy.
Well done!

I made the right decision to pour a coffee just before playing.

Love the whole aesthetic of this and all the extra flavour added to the game page.

Fabulous entry.

You actually made a Gameboy-compatible game, That's crazy!
The aesthetics are super awesome, and the cover alone is deserving of 10/10.
Amazing work!

Of course there would be a submission for this. Certified banger.

Almost as soul crushing as the actual life of a bus driver, well done.

It's tredmendously boring, of course, but the time and efforts that went into this as well as the fact that it's playable on an actual game boy is hysterical. Great job
