really sick game! would be cool to see an hour-long project at least with better navigation and less text dump, the writing is good, tho

Quirky music and characters! 

I wasn't sure how to clear that platformer scene, I just kept dying. I thought maybe I could use my rubber chicken XD but alas, I could not.

You were correct. I should have had instructions.

Thank you for playing.

Hi, I'm testing games on my Game Boy, no .gb file?

Mediafire link in the description. I've had trouble getting the download and in browser player to work together so I uploaded it separately.

I've finally been able to test it on my Game Boy Dmg :D .

I really like the idea of the "Clown" character, it's actually quite rare, and they're more or less always considered bad guys now! I had a few text bugs on the original console, and the shades chosen are a bit dark, but that can be a creative choice, bravo for this game anyway!

I don't usually like clowns very much but thanks for making this clown pleasant! nice work!

I think the save game made it so I couldn't get on the bus. Restarted and talked to the driver first, then collected the fee, and it worked that time.
Otherwise, cute concept and I like how it uses the theme creatively.

I liked the sprites, the clowns head with hair made me laugh. The game maps were a bit tricky to negotiate in places, though I liked the art style.
