amazing, It feels like the port of doom to game boy, but it plays much better. 
The enemies are unsettling and the textures are a bit confusing at first, but you get used to it and you stop getting lost. 
I love the lines the game drops when you die.
Just a detail, when you grab a coin, it shouldn't stop appearing? I feel like that reinforces the feeling of finding them as secrets and would make them more special.
Anyways, I really like it. God job.

Hey, thanks for the feedback! When you are talking about the coin, do you mean that the coins re-appear everytime you die/restart the level? I feel like having the coins re-appear when you die is actually a good thing since the guardians take a coin instead of killing you instantly if you have any, making some of the levels a lot more comfortable to play in my opinion.

have a nice day :)

WOW! I'm very curious how you got this effect, is that real 3d? btw i'd love to get some feedback on my game, if you have time consider trying it!

yeah its actually 3d its just set to 160x144p which is the resolution of the original gameboy. I made it so that the resolution scale adjusts to whatever screen resolution you have so it doesnt blur out

Very impressive did you use a shader?

Developer

no i basically disabled all the shadows except for the cel shading for the bullet and some of the tiles in level 8
