Really nice game! I loved the art and the GameBoy aesthetics! I wasn't aware that people made their own games to be played on the GameBoy, I wish I had a GameBoy to test this out! Great work!

Really well done and fun game! Nice level of polish.

What a great game for a game jam! The pixel art cutscenes at the start had me hooked, and then the music started playing and it trully felt like a gamboy game. I have to mention that I really liked the different percpectives in the interior of each house. It was a weird concept and I am not sure why you did it, but it was something that caught my interest and I liked it!

Magnificent. Really cute. The PC version bugged out for me when I reached the door in the end. But absolutely fantastic job. Fantastic visuals, a coherent story and difficult is good for a Jam Game!

4,8/5 from me.

This game is really cute! A little light on actual gameplay but it looks absolutely amazing and the story is really sweet. Great job!

THIS GAME IS FANTASTIC! AND THE MUSIC IS AMAZINGGG

Man, you nailed the retro style, I tried something similar but this is fantastic! I'm out of words
Every detail is amazing in the art, each house has a very unique and cool environment that I feel to be playing another game when I enter inside them
The concept is great too, my only complaint is that the game is too short xd

Great work guys

I love the graphics and the audio! The character is so cute <3 I'm also a big fan of the GameBoy and this game really pulled out! I'm amazed how this game was done within only a week. Well done!

Very "game boy" game. Anyone that played a gameboy before might think that the introduction of the game is coming from a "real" gameboy game! Congrats to being able to inject this kind of mood in your game!

I loved the story elements, the beginning really hooked me

Submitted

That's such a charming and cute game, essentially every door hides someone else
Well done on getting the art music and feel to be right, it feels just like gameboy on a pc

The art style and intro sequence was fantastic! I got lost in the game primarily because the controls were unusual, but nevertheless once I got a hang of it, it was good. Well done!

I love the artstyle, especially at the beginning the blue black mix is great, I would have loved if that color palette was used more often, the game fits the theme and you did a great job with making an interesting story and visualising it, gg  :D

Wanted to use it more also since it gave a nice nighttime vibe. so was intended to be used with the overworld, but it made the buildings look piss yellow. Only two spots with a dark palette would have been the cave and the doll room where I could have used it. Just went with red in the cave for the classic red/black bat-mobile and the dollhouse could have worked. But wasn't fully confident.

Art style and audio fit together perfectly, the story is engaging and the game has a nice ending. Very good! I’m impressed!

Well it runs on one too. Haven't had time to record gameplay one on yet.
